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…

A sober man's study of an intoxicated one. Makes me want to prop Michael Bay in front of it, Clockwork Orange-style, and shout "This is how you do satire!" at deafening decibels. Truthfully, the peanut-brain would probably get off on it…which is how you do satire. Let the morons expose themselves, even as the viewers who fancy they're above it all (myself definitely included) quietly acknowledge the pleasure inherent—per George Carlin—in having gotten a ticket to the freak show. ("One of us, one of us…"—Marty knows what he's doing.)
This viewing I grooved even more on the aesthetic: The shifting aspect ratios (especially the final sequence that moves from 1.78 to 2.35 as Belfort leans vampirically toward his latest sucker);…

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…

I’m writing the review on this one a couple of days after watching it, and I’m thinking my initial 4/5 might be a little high. Don’t get me wrong, it’s top of the line Scorsese. Brilliantly shot with acting to match, it’s a whirlwind ride with the douche bags of high finance who are ruining all of our lives that is at times exhilarating and laugh out loud funny. A couple days later thinking about the picture, I’m wondering “What’s the point?” It’s not like we didn’t know that the mega rich are a bunch of assholes right? I did really like this one though, I’ll have to give it a second spin.

Ein Film der Kategorie: Beim zweiten mal wars nicht mehr so dolle
Der Flash der ersten Sichtung damals im Kino, hat sich nicht wiederholt. Bei weitem nicht. Damals hat er mich keine Sekunde gelangweilt und ich hätte noch 5 Stunden weitergucken können. Heute hat er sich doch etwas gezogen. Damals hab ich bei der Lähmungszene am Boden gelegen vor Lachen, heute hatte ich nur ein müdes Grinsen übrig. Damals war Margot Robbie eine Offenbarung, heute hat sie mich kalt gelassen.
Der Film hat selbstverständlich Unterhaltungswert, und bleibt ungeschlagen in seiner Dekadenz, aber so richtig geil fand ich ihn einfach nicht mehr. Die Erinnerung an den Kinobesuch und seine damalige Wirkung bleibt trotzdem immer mit diesem Film verbunden.

Even though it's just a rework of Goodfellas with a different true story, I don't give a shit. It is ever bit as good of a combination of incredibly fun to watch and incredibly hard to watch. Leo is spectacular, the camerawork is spectacular, and I'll always have a soft spot for this movie.

For those who think Leonardo DiCaprio is a no-talent hack!; you clearly haven't seen The Wolf of Wall Street.
Martin Scorsese's most energetic film to date, crazy to think how he went from something as ballsy and vibrant as this to the slow-moving, potent masterpiece that is Silence. After my third watch of this endlessly vigorous stock sensation, I can, without a shred of a doubt say that this is one of the best examples of 21st century cinema done right. In a way almost a satire of modernity, constantly focusing on excess, and while Belfort's real life might have been similar, I doubt it became as superfluous and overindulgent as Scorsese portrayed it, appealing to both critics and modern…

I thought American Hustle was good, and it was, and a lot people liked it, which allowed it to score higher than Wolf of Wall Street, but man, I need to stop trusting what I read because this was WAY better. Scorcese proves once again that he is awesome. Leo does a fucking great job pulling off stuff that would be really hard to pull off. Jonah Hill sometimes outshines Leo in certain scenes, which is phenomenal considering how good Leo is here. The whole movie is fantastic, and man alive, that ending is one of the most powerful endings of all. I Loved it, and for a three hour film, it just FLEW by. Too bad 45 minutes were…
