Movies in Review: "The Wolf of Wall Street"

Who didn't see the trailer for this movie and felt like they would be taken on the ride of their life. The trailer for this movie sent me near exhaustion, but I still felt there was no way that the film could live up to the trailer. Although I still felt the movie would be decent. I almost turned and walked away from this movie when I noticed it had a running time of 3hrs!? Seriously though...this movie is 3 freakin hours long. What in the world was Scorsese thinking...smh.

Let me first say that this movie's running time could have definitely been reduced by 30min...ijs. But this might be my only real complaint about this movie. Other than that, be prepared to be sent on an adrenaline ride of your life. This movie is so amped up! Btw, the rating teeters on the verge of "X" because I felt like I was watching light porn...lol. There is so much going on in this movie that will keep your interest from beginning to end. This movie has adrenaline, its erotic, and hilarious, what more could you ask for. The characters were great and work well with the story. DiCaprio was on another level in this one...absolutely amazing. Made me feel like this is who DiCaprio is in real life. That's how well he played his character. Jonah Hill is always a great addition to a cast if you need nice acting chops and comedic skills. McConaughey looked like he just finished filming Dallas Buyers Club, so his skinny build was a problem for me, but may not bother you.

Scorsese is hit or miss with me, but this one if definitely close to a home run. You get more than what you would expect from a movie. Everything about this film is to the extreme, so get ready to have fun. I almost pissed my pants in laughter at some scenes. This would have to make my list as a #MustSee. I'm interested to know if you feel the same way...A!
