The Wolf of Wall Street

The Wolf of Wall Street is so addicting to watch, that even with it's 3 hour long run time, you wont be surprised if you end up watching it four days in a row. <br> This is Scorsese letting loose and having fun, showing all of the debauchery (and man, is there a lot) in all of it's glory. There are orgies, sex, nudity, copious amounts of drug use, and it now holds the record for the most use of fuck in any film. <br> Leonardo DiCaprio gives a towering and hilarious performance as Jor…

An excessive movie in all possible senses with breath taking Margot Robbie and Jonah Hill which is not long in spite of its 3h length but which ends not knowing exactly which is the point of the story.

**Voracious Bull** Every time I try to enjoy a Martin Scorcese movie post-1980 I ask myself what made _Raging Bull_ so great? Did Marty burn out after his Jake LaMotta bio, the same way Coppola did after _Apocalypse Now_? These were risky movies, driven by passion, bordering on madness. Did Marty and Francis lose their natural passion for making films because industry priorities dismissed 70's-style hyper-realism for sensational summer blockbusters and CGI spectacles? And why is Scorcese cons…

I didn't care for the characters, but I damn did have a great time watching <em>'The Wolf of Wall Street'</em>. It's absolutely nuts, and I mean that in a positive way. Leonardo DiCaprio simply never puts an acting foot wrong, this is the sixth film I've seen of his and I love <em>(fwiw: all 9/10+)</em> them all. Phenomenal actor! He is outstanding here as Jordan Belfort, the guy this film is based upon. As noted, I didn't really ever care for Jordan but DiCaprio makes it impossible not to en…

When I'm Scorsese's age I just hope to still be able to chew my food and go to the bathroom unassisted. That he can still make some of the most cutting edge, visceral, and enjoyable films out there is stunning. Is this his best film? No. But, even a mediocre film for him is better than 99% of the movies being made. The performances are super-fun, the pace is relentless, the visual flare is incredible, and the story is fascinating. Is there a discussion to be had about the immorality bein…

An amazing bio pic of Jordan Belfort that has everything you'll ever want: comedy, drama, romance, heart and the list goes on. This movie was an absolute joy. The acting was superb in this movie all around. Leonardo DiCaprio gives one of his best performances of his career. Jonah Hill and Margo Robbie were fantastic! For a movie that was almost three hours, it flew by and was incredibly engaging. I can not believe it took me this long to see it. **Score:** _90%_ **Verdict:** _Excellent_

This is based on a book telling the true story of a man who saw an opportunity to con his way to a $1 million a week job fleecing would-be investors and capitalising on that one human vice that most permeates society. Greed. Initially thumped by a financial crisis, Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio) is reduced to joining a ramshackle school of amateur brokers selling penny stocks and hoping that enough of those will make enough commission to live on. Quickly, he realises the truth to that old ex…

When I read a movie review the thing that I want to get out of it is to know what the reviewer got out of it. If they can tell me how it made them fee, what they thought and what they took away from it then it gives me a reasonable idea of what I might expect. I tell you that so you can understand why I'm going to tell you what I took away from The Wolf Of Wall Street. It's a true story and man-o-man is there a glut of filth and debauchery n this man's life. Wowee! It goes to show that an endles…
