Has anyone seen "The Aviator" yet?
I think it's in general release now.

If you did...what did you think? I think this is a must see film.

1. Thumbs up here.
Leonardo DiCaprio and Cate Blanchett are great in it.

5. I saw it last week...
I can't believe it's getting all these great reviews. I was bored to tears. So was the guy I went with. We almost left in the middle!

Having said that, the performances were fantastic. Kate Beckinsale as Ava Gardner was wonderful. Cate Blanchett as Katherine Hepburn was a tad over the top, but enjoyable. Leo was great, too.

Jude Law was in it for all of 10 seconds because he has to be in every movie.

The script, though...UGH! I could have done so much better.

6. I saw it this weekend and liked it.
The acting and sets were great, as was the story, but it did seem kind of drawn out/too long. I left with a great sadness at the way Hughes' life turned out; in those days I guess psychiatry was very limited as he could have benefitted from some help.

7. I enjoyed it very much
And my son, who usually hates any movie over 2 hrs long, said as we were leaving, "Nearly a three hour movie and I didn't get bored".

Leo was great, and it really did make you feel sorry for HH.
