I consider it one of the best movies I've seen in a while, and I'm an avid movie goer. Comically awkward to see it with your wife and teenager( he and I both loved the blonde wife).

I could see where they were going with this movie, i.e. portraying the excesses and corruption taking place on Wall Street. It was a bit tedious though sitting through three hours of nonstop in-your-face human depravity.

Yeah, it could've been 45 minutes shorter but I thought it went very fast.

I think it was a good movie, and Leo did a great job, I seen that movie and was like how are people saying the Tom Hanks, captain phillips movie have better acting. Leo's intensity is what made that movie, and then I seen Captain phillips and was very impressed with his role in that movie.

Very good movie. It was long, but I did not find it to be drawn out really. Also, it was far funnier than I was expecting. I was laughing basically from the beggining where Leo says "and morphine, well, cause it is awesome" all the to basically the end of the movie.

JH also really impressed me. I thought his moneyball performance was very overrated and not anywhere near worthy of oscar nomination. I was actually more impressed by SR in 50/50 that year. However, he was phenomenal in WOWS, really did not think he had it in him.

I thought it was awful, and expected better. Devoid of subtlety, over-acted, long-winded.

American Hustle was far better.

Loved it.

Leo was great and Jonah Hill was surprisingly also great.

"Devoid of subtlety" is a hilarious comment to me. Well...yeah!
