Plot:
A biographical chronicle which charts the early years of famous tycoon, Howard Hughes (1905-1976), whose eclectic career spanned across everything from oil, for which he cared little, to film, casinos...( read more

The reason why I kept putting seeing this film off is because it's nearly three hours long and the DiCaprio/Scorsese mix wasn't working for me after Gangs of New York. Glad to say I was wrong and that The Aviator is a very entertaining film with an almost epic feel yet manages to keep very good pacing and performances from start to finish. Focussing on Hughes' aviation period was a shrewd move from writer John Logan, and seeing DiCaprio interpret that onscreen was truly astounding. DiCaprio owns the role and his credibility as an actor has gone up for me. I love this movie, Scorsese has redeemed himself and gone onto good things with The Departed.
want to see this because it won best drama picture at the golden globes and best picture with the BAFTA
It's fun to look for the famous celebrities - Jude Law steals a scene as Errol Flynn and you can see Cary Grant and George Cukor sitting on the beach when Hughes picks up Hepburn in his plane
"For some men, the sky was the limit. For him, it was just the beginning." What do you expect? Its Leonardo DiCaprio...He always does an amazing job. Its an awesome movie. It won 5 Oscars too. Its sad though the way that Howard Hughes(DiCaprio) is. You have to see it to know what i mean.
I can't believe this movie receives so many poor reviews. While it is not Scorsese's best, it is still very impressive and quite epic. Howard Hughes remains a mysterious character whose biographies are usually based on speculation rather than truth. Scorsese has done an amazing job of showing one adaptation of Hughes' life from his ambitious beginnings as a filmmaker to his later contributions to the world of aviation.
Due to another impressive performance from DiCaprio, Hughes' obsessive-compulsive disorder is shown as both his biggest fault and at times his biggest asset. But the most impressive acting in the film is Cate Blanchett's role as Katherine Hepburn, one of the most famous (and yet still mysterious) actresses in movie history. Blanchett is very convincing as Hepburn, almost as if she had found some way to become possessed by Kate Hepburn's spirit as she frolicked through each of her scenes with biting wit and attractive charm that is shared by both Hepburn and Blanchett, winning her the Oscar she deserved for this role.
All together a great film with some stunning visuals, outstanding performances, and a time capsule glimpse into movie history, a film you may want to watch again and again.
