Really Surprised!

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Did you people see the same film I saw?

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street is a highly accomplished biographical dark comedy that encourages the viewer to revel in and be repulsed by the provocative life of it's protagonist: stockbroker Jordan Belfort (DiCaprio). The cinematography and editing is slick and fast paced and the film is at it's most intoxicatingly best when pulsing with energy; complimented by a perfect soundtrack. Similarly, DiCaprio, Robbie and Hill succeed in delivering phenomenal performances. DiCaprio's running monologue is witty and the humour occasionally hilarious. However, when the energy fades away and the film slightly loses it's established rhythm does the quality slightly decline.

It's no doubt that when it comes to directing the movie for day-to-day international audience the names that come to my mind are Steven Spielberg, Christopher Nolan and David Fincher. Myself however going through some data and polls one more name struck my mind. It was Martin Scorsese, his direction was the foremost reason, I decided to watch the movie 'The Wolf of Wall Street'.Its an average movie. There were two instances which where ethically nice. 1) Stealing from rich and 2) Owner writing cheque for a women in need. The sad part is apart from that nothing is considered about health, relationships, integrity, manners, respect, nothing but money and the animalistic drive to get more. In the run there was a lot of drinking, partying, and doing drugs. A lot of adult nature involved, so much that it was rated NC-17 (not R).Final Verdict: Graphic nature of a particular (adult) basic instinct drives men more than women. Thus my ratings.

"the wolf of Wall Street" is hilarious. as it is inspiring and motivating at some point. I actually watched it twice in theaters and many times at home. it shows how a poor man knew that one day he's gonna be rich and told his wife about it like he is so sure about it, which is actually true, as they say "you are the result of your thoughts. Leonardo did a great job and he totally deserved to be nominated for an Oscar. As well as Margot she turned some scenes exciting.

Well I thought a movie that averaged over 8/10 would be better than this.Pretty standard fare, I thought, not all that clever or inventively done, not all that well characterized, and man did I lose all respect for DiCaprio's character when his wife turned him into a neutered sex starved puppy. That was in fact the point I switched off, so disgusted was I by this cheap garbage.I don't get the enthusiasm. The story is just not all that interesting, the characters not at all compelling. There are dozens of better rags to riches stories, and a little reading indicates this film is not particularly true to life either.Once again I'm in the minority, while the majority of the herd moos their appreciation for something that looks like it is a good movie, as long as you don't watch it too closely or expect a rich story driven by compelling characters.
