Review by Mary Conti 31

Fucking Benihana.

Some initial rambling thoughts and notes for a future more coherent review:

-Jordan Belfort makes Calvin Candie look like a pleasant guy to be around.

-This film makes The Departed look like a Disney movie.

-"Two time Academy Award Nominee Jonah Hill"

-"That Rob Reiner guy should act more."

-Never thought I'd hear a Foo Fighters song in a Scorsese film, nevermind one that actually really fits.

-It'll be interesting to see how the mass public reacts to this film. During my free pre screening I would say about 15 people got up and left. Record for me is around 20 for Syriana, Zodiac, and The Tree of Life.

-It'll also be interesting to see mass groups of…

93/100

3 hours of undiluted, insane, balls-out, coked-out, swift, ludicrous, hysterical, wacky, berserk, horrifying, paralyzing, unnerving, savage, bloodthirsty, untamed CINEMA.

The icing on the cake? It was released to a general audience of unsuspecting Americans on Christmas Day. This just further proves my theory, no scratch that, bona-fide FACT, that Martin Scorsese is our true savior. Bow to him. Worship him. Follow him.

One of us, one of us, one of us......

The Wolf of Wall Street is Martin Scorsese back to his confident best. At 71 he should be producing respectable work destined to please ageing Oscar voters (something perhaps like Hugo) but instead he’s making swaggering, debauched and sprawling epics about obscene levels of excess and one man’s fall from grace. This is Scorsese’s best work since Casino.

In three spritely and surprisingly brisk hours, Scorsese brings to life the true story of Jordan Belfort and his meteoric rise from penny stock huckster to Wall Street God. Belfort is Gordon Gekko turned up to eleven - a man powered by money and Quaaludes until the federal government brought him crashing to the ground. It’s a capitalist cautionary tale, albeit a…

Disclaimer: Do NOT bring your whole family to see this movie.

Wow, this was a F***ing crazy ride! The Wolf of Wall Street is: stylish, vulgar, loud, hilarious, very memorable, and down right dirty. If this movie weren't in Scorsese's hands, I think it could have ended up being a disaster. And for that Mr. Scorsese, I thank you! You pulled this off like no other. It's easily my favorite movie of the year. I'm surprised at how funny this was; like it's not just funny, it's hilarious.

Give Leonardo an Oscar, this guy certainly deserves it. He has REAL talent. Mr. DiCaprio undoubtedly gives the best performance of the year. Heck, he gives the best performance I've seen in…

A great diagnosis of our times and society, 5 stars for ambition and scope. Maybe the ending is slightly flawed, however gets the benefit of the doubt for going for it, and mostly making it work. Great performances, characters, story, scenes and arc.

Review by Robert Mugabe ★★★★★

It's the opening scene from '2001: A Space Odyssey' for 3 hours but now the monolith is a giant dollar bill and the monkeys are throwing midgets at it whilst they're snorting coke off a hooker's arse.
Review by Json Javier ★★★★★

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

My notes on The Wolf of Wall Street:

1. I'm surprised McConaughey's not getting any Oscar buzz for this movie. That 7-min restaurant aria was just brilliant.

2. I had a smile plastered on my face the entire time.

3. Sex, drugs, profanity. I'm just waiting for the violence to experience a full-blown Scorsese film.

4. DiCaprio's basically playing a version of himself. No wonder he's so great here. Probably his best performance to date.

5. I bet a lot of guys will envy that lighted red candle. LOL!

6. That cerebral palsy phase scene has to be one of the funniest I've seen all year. Who knew Leo can do great slapstick? Give him an Oscar.

7. Jonah Hill is slowly becoming one of my favorite actors. He does really great work in these intelligent movies.

8. I'm going out and buying the soundtrack.

Review by EllenaS ★★★ 1

No words. Because the film deals with drugs you feel like you are high as well because it constantly changes between voice-over of Jordan(Leonardo Dicapro) and him talking to the camera.
I felt like it a little to weird for my liking.
Review by isabwllaz ★★★½

i loved how jordan grew up with his business, conquered the wealth he sought and helped many people to make money as well. now, i know this is not the point, but unfortunately the way that women are treated in that movie made me uncomfortable. men are disgusting.

obs: i could die for margot robbie

Leonardo DiCaprio is only good when he plays the bad guy.
