I thought it was kinda long/drawn out, and not very interesting.... just me?

I liked it, but I had an interest in Howard Hughes from stories I read long ago.
I thought it was very well done front to back.

i was FFing thru slow parts and it was a decent flick overall, but not something i'd have paid to see in theater.

I was definitely pretty long, but I enjoyed it. Would have been better with an epilogue as well. There were so many aspects of Hughe's life that was not covered

I :heart:ed it. Sorry.

I did think that DiCaprio was too young looking to do hughes justice at the end of the movie, but he was perfect for the beginning.

I enjoyed the actual aviation part but the OCD stuff I didn't care for. I didn't know he was such a freak.

Long, Boring, Didn't focus on his achievements, poor acting all around, poor attempt at the whole 'technicolor' scheme, wasn't worth the rent one get one promotion.

Great movie, very well directed obviously. DiCaprio finally won me over with his acting too, no well you can tell me he didn't do a good job as Howard Hughes.

I thought it was a decent movie. I'll agree that it was quite long and a bit drawn out. I'll also admit that Kate Beckinsale looked great. :D I normally like Cate Blanchett but I just wasn't that impressed with her in this one. She did a pretty good job but I just didn't see a best supporting actress award from her performance. However, I don't know that much about Katharine Hepburn so she might've done a much better job than I give her credit for.

I saw it yesterday, and it was merely OK. There was so much more to the story that they never told, but then again, the movie was long enough as it was.

I hated the movie. Saw it this weekend with my wife. I was ready to shut it off after an hour. Waste of my time. Nice to learn a bit about Hughes, but I didn't like it overall.

Same here, I hoped that would go further. I would've like to have seens scenes with him and the Avro Jetliner.
Yeah!!!! I was like wtf, we're just getting to the good part when it ended.

I liked the movie overall, but I am in the small minority who are fans of Dicaprio's acting.
