This Is A Kid's Movie.


I got thought that the movie's Target audience was Teenagers going through high school (who find most things funny), or College students going through the social, and heavy party scene's, who are yet to experience much in life.

I was annoyed on how much the movie was trying to present sex and drugs as something humerus, and didnt let go of that concept through to whole movie.

I did find the story entertaining, and the movie had its moment's when I smiled. But for a Martin Scorsese and Di Caprio movie, I found it too childish; Sex is what I laughed at when I was 12 or 13.

The Character of Di Caprio himself, had little genuine goodness in his heart, apart from the serious moments towards the end with his daughter. But as a whole, I couldn't relate to anything at all regarding his character; I found him to be totally self-indulgent, and a real pig towards woman. I was waiting for something redeeming to unearth itself, something more human and realistic, but found myself really wishing the FBI agent would win the battle and lock him up.

I could have looked past the concept, if the concept let up a little, and if I found a leading character to support, but I couldn't find one.

As a 30 year old, I don't consider myself old at all, but I probably would have enjoyed this more ten years ago. I gave the movie a 6.5/10, for the acting, and story telling. I wouldn't expect anything less from the people involved, but I wont be watching this a second time.

I'm sorry to offend those who like this movie, but It's just how I feel.

It's called having an "anti-hero." He's or she is the main character, but not someone you can root for because of the purity of their heart or actions.

It takes a bit to get past this and enjoy the movie.

You also missed the narrative of the movie. They aren't trying to promote what he did as being good. They are showing you how greedy and horrific some of the people in the stock market / investing industry are. They never try to say "greed is good."

Kids movies are a lot stupider ? Evidently so are posters about aforementioned kids movies. DUNCE. Back to g.e.d. redo.
