Crusader Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I loved it but its Scorsese so that's obvious I'm gonna give it a 9/10 It was amazing ... but not quite as amazing as his finest work ( Bull, Taxi and Fellas ) just a little notch below ... plus the structure of the whole thing is identical to Goodfellas so I really can't say that its better than that However, its nothing short of amazing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) oh yeah and to state the obvious Leo owned definitely the performance of the year he went in hard ... won't win though even though this was very much on the same level of acting DeNiro displayed in Raging Bull Edited January 20, 2014 by Crusader 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Don't even remember the last time I was so fucking entertained. Give Leo his damn oscar already. A+ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessie Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) Wow this was a surprise. I never thought I could watch a 3 hour movie about the stock market and be entertained for every minute. Scorsese is one of the best directors working today imo and Leo gave another Oscar worthy performance which comes as no surprise. Favourite scene. "Surprisingly I made it home without a scratch on me or the car..." Lol.From what I've seen, this and Rush are my favourite movies of the year, not saying they were the best, but they were the most satisfying for me.

Jessie Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Half a great film.I agree with 50% of this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Wang Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I agree with 50% of this. That was because he only got to see half the movie due to theater issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75Live Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I haven't laughed that hard at a movie in a long, long time. There are way too many great scenes to pick just one, but yes the "cerebral palsy" phase was hilarious. The cocaine being Jordan's spinach was great too. I could go on and on.

The Stingray Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Pretty entertaining stuff. As far as Scorsese/DiCaprio collaborations, I would probably rank it second behind The Departed. B+, maybe A-. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Pretty solid movie, levels better than that America Hushit. Showed the real face of humanity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezen Baklattan Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I noticed something even funnier and more awesome about this. There's a scene with insane musical irony where the song "Ca Plane Pour Moi", which translates to "All is well for me", plays when Belfort is caught by the FBI. I know it's a popular song, but the translation didn't dawn on me until now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Nevada Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) Kinda wish they had sneaked Black Skinhead in there somewhere. Edited January 20, 2014 by Jack Nevada 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I watched this for the third time today. Still just as great as the last two times, maybe even better. If he continues to turn in performance like this, I really hope that Jonah Hill will bag an Oscar one day. Leo and Scorsese, no matter what goes down at this year Academy Awards, they're winners to me. And LOL, dat cerebral palsy scene? I don't think I will ever find it not absolutely hilarious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stingray Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Kinda wish they had sneaked Black Skinhead in there somewhere. The music choices in this were rather uninspired. In fact, I can't remember a single memorable musical moment in a Scorsese movie since the House of the Rising Sun scene in Casino. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Not sure how an angry black power song fits into this movie, but ok. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not on the same level as Goodfellas but I liked the mixture of different kinds of music from Insane in the Membrane to Ca Plane Pour Moi. Also really enjoyed the use of Mrs. Robinson near the end. Edited January 20, 2014 by Jack Nevada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
