Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The_Legend3 This is the fifth collaboration between Scorsese and DiCaprio coming from Gangs of New York, Aviator, Departed and Shutter Island I feel this is the lesser one. The Departed is probably their best collaboration because the writing was brilliant. The writing in this is underwhelming. This film is produced by DiCaprio and is made as a comedy rather then a serious movie. I haven't read the book but this man wasn't a good man we needed to see that more. We just saw drug's and hookers and a lot of cussing. I'm ok with those things but it needed to go with a better story. There's a lot of unnecessary stuff in this movie I just wish we could have focused on the real story. Overall the acting was great and I do feel DiCaprio should have won the Oscar for this

lvillanueva-34516 Funny, charming, and smart! Of course Leonardo DiCaprio does it again. With his smart witty character, this makes a boring stock broker job sound exhilarating. Enjoyed the movie from start to finish. If you want a good comedic drama. Then this is your movie!

alanlaiter There are no wolves in the movie :-( . . . . . . . . . . .

BladeWinner This project started when Dicaprio outbid Brad Pitt to buy rights for the movie. One of the main reasons he bought it was because Dicaprio felt he was perfect match for the role.Then he hired Terrence winter to write a script and Scorsese to direct.So this is basically a project Dicaprio wanted to make. The problem here is this movie is juggling lot of things. 1)Dicaprio doesnt want to loose his boxoffice appeal, so if the movie is made like a dark character study then it wouldnt make its budget back. 2)Its desire to portray debauchery on screen authentically using huge sums of money meant that there is lot of weight on it to make money back. 3)Oscars like winking devil like Daniel plainview from there will be blood...but they dont like pure evil like Ralph fiennes in schindlers list or Michael fassbender in 12 yrs slave..so they portrayed jordan belfort as this ambitious guy changed by the system felt kinda pandering. 4)Focus of story is on all the wrong areas...yes you can show boobs, sex, debauchery but at the same time you need a contrast element in the storyline to show the excess. 5) This might be the main thing..one group of fanbase you can always trust to show up time and again is young men between 12 and 30.....if you can tap into this demographic..they will show up time and again like MCU or DCEU. Dicaprio tapped into this fanbase somewhere around inception and django. So if he can make movies that this group enjoys then they will keep showing up and that age range is ready to idolize someone.The are just waiting for a idol figure. Key thing to appeal to them is play roles that are Macho,Rule breaker,Anti heroic,Dark,Brooding,,Leader of people,Filled with revenge aka brooding and roles like that. As long as you stick to those, this demographic will show up and Dicaprio is banking on it every single movie.He morphed this sleazy banker into those archetypes. So all these checkboxes are met in making this movie and we ended up with a dark comedic 21 jump street movie with a prestige picture kind of touch by a auteur director in scorsese. So we end up with a movie that spends way more time on excess to the point of making it look cool.
