The Wolf Of Wall Street Movie Review

A fun but long film

The Wolf Of Wall Street is a 2013 Martin Scorsese film which is so outrageously fun, you can't believe what's before your very eyes.

The film is based on the real life story of Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio) as he creates his own stock-brokerage, and the debauchery that follows.

This movie is insane. The amount of drugs this man consumed in the film should have killed him. Now I'm not sure how real the depiction of Jordan Belfort's drug use is in the film, but holy cow it's crazy.

This is probably one of my all time favorite Leonardo DiCaprio films, just because you can feel how invested he is in his character. This film looks as if it was one of the most fun sets, and one of the most difficult to work on.

So much action occurs rapidly in the film, it rarely stops for you to catch your breath. It sort of makes sense though, because if Jordan is high and not coming down anytime soon, than neither is the viewer.

The one and only problem I have with The Wolf Of Wall Street, is it's length. The movie clocks in at a 3 hour runtime, but believe me it's worth it! Even if you don't like long movies, The Wolf Of Wall Street should be seen at least once.

If you have kids, don't and I repeat, DO NOT show them this movie. It's not for kids and it's not intended. The film is not one of those, well with parent supervision it might be okay, it's more of, well the kids are put to bed time to watch something they can't, kind of film.

I swear this movie doesn't know how to hold back, and it's great. You will have so much fun with this film if you have the time to watch it. The camera work is phenomenal, and the editing is done pretty good as well.

The music is insanely good and matches the overall tone of the film to a T. I swear this film has such a fun soundtrack. The music is just.. just... amazing!

The Wolf Of Wall Street is probably one of the best bio pics ever made and it feels as if it's the last lap of a race in almost every scene! Everyone who worked on this film did such a great job! If you have time, go and watch, The Wolf Of Wall Street!

final score: 4.7/5

Uncharted Movie Review

Uncharted Movie Review Not As Good As The Games I went and saw the movie Uncharted a while ago, and it was as I expected it to be. If you are a fan of the games, well... prepare for disappointment. Uncharted follows Nathan Drake (Tom Holland), a low level thief as he is recruited by Victor Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to go on a treasure hunt. As someone who has played some of the games, but not all, I have to say that the Uncharted film is what I thought it would be. A mishmash of all four games but not committing to any of them. The acting is a bit stale, and the plot is predictable. The camera work was fine, but the music was underused. Tom Holland should not have been Nathan Drake. He lacks the charisma, the attitude, and the charm. He may have passed for a teenage Nathan Drake, but he should have only been in a few scenes. I'm not the biggest fan of Tom Holland either long time readers may know. Now, onto Mark Wahlberg as Victor Sullivan. Mark Wahlberg is way too young to be playi

Coda Movie Review

Coda Movie Review This Deserved Best Picture So, I just got back from seeing Coda, and it was amazing! This was the second attempt to see this film as the first time, someone booked the entire theater for a private screening. I'm going to take from a summary from IMDB to summarize the plot: " As a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) Ruby is the only hearing person in her deaf family. When the family's fishing business is threatened, Ruby finds herself torn between pursuing her passion at Berklee College of Music and her fear of abandoning her parents." The acting was phenomenal, the cinematography was beautiful, and the story was human. The way this film is crafted is nothing short but excellent. I will not that not everything is 100% accurate, but for narrative reasons, I understand the choices they made. The actors have amazing chemistry together. Everything feels natural between them and they all bring their characters to life. No performance fell flat. I perhaps would

The Batman Movie Review

The Batman Movie Review A Solid Noir Film I went and saw The Batman the other day with one of my buddies and I must say, we really enjoyed it. Granted I don't think this movie is for everyone. The Batman follows Batman (Robert Pattinson) during his second year of crime fighting. When the mayor of Gotham is killed by The Riddler (Paul Dano), it is up to Batman with the help of James Gordon (Jeffery Wright), and Selina Kyle (Zoë Kravitz) to stop him. From a visual point of view, The Batman is gorgeous. Every frame is a painting. The acting is solid, the plot is solid. The musical score is outstanding. I personally loved the film, but there are some things in it that could off-set some Batman fans. I typically get into the acting first, but like you've probably already heard many reviewers say before, the city is a character in this film. Gotham feels real, grounded, and certainly not a place you'd want to visit. Corruption and crime run rampant at every level of society. The
