About this movie

Sex. Money. Power. Drugs. Brace yourself for an outrageous true story from legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese that critics are calling "a masterpiece for a new generation." Leonardo DiCaprio delivers "the best performance of his career" as a young stockbroker hungry for a life of non-stop thrills, where corruption was king and more was never enough. His rise to power earned him the title The Wolf of Wall Street. Together, Scorsese and DiCaprio deliver a story of American excess that is "an absolute blast from start to finish." *** * James Verniere, Boston Herald, ** Claudia Puig, USA Today, *** Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

I heard that it was bad movie & turns out it is. there's no real plot (textureless) watching this movie its just boring.spoiler alert its about a guy who never learns from his mistakes &it lasts for 3 long boring tasteless hours. this movie has no style no class nothing interesting "seen it before" &all other movies with the whole drugs and sex&money power whatever,..plenty of other movies having the same sort of genre is that r better than this piece of crap."Loathing in Las Vegas" is better than DiCaprio

Shows how greed and drugs turn people ugly. Not one character in this movie that makes you feel good. Didn't laugh once, didn't feel good once, didn't learn anything = waste of time (and since it's a long movie, lot's of time wasted). I watched it until the end hoping for something uplifting at the end but it didn't come. Good acting but lot's of foul language. This movie also failed to show where does all the money on Wall Street come from. It missed the opportunity to show how amateur investors lose their hard earned money and the consequences because of the promise of big returns by the Wolf's greedy gang.

The movie details the journey of one man from apprentice stockbroker to successful financier and the evolution of his increasingly indulgent lifestyle that goes along with it. There are definitely some funny scenes, such as midget tosses in the office and smoking crack with Jonah Hill, but the movie is 3+ hours long and you feel every passing minute. By two hours into the movie, I started watching the clock and wondering how much longer this movie could POSSIBLY be. Would've given four stars if shorter.
