Lack of good storyline.

Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Funny, charming, and smart! Of course Leonardo DiCaprio does it again. With his smart witty character, this makes a boring stock broker job sound exhilarating. Enjoyed the movie from start to finish. If you want a good comedic drama. Then this is your movie!

If you by any chance worried that Scorsese had gone soft after "Hugo" then worry not! This movie is based on real events, and if these events were even half as crazy as this film, then oh boy! It's a celebration of sex, drugs and money, often at the same time! DiCaprio is great and so is the rest of the cast, it's a total blast!

"the wolf of Wall Street" is hilarious. as it is inspiring and motivating at some point. I actually watched it twice in theaters and many times at home. it shows how a poor man knew that one day he's gonna be rich and told his wife about it like he is so sure about it, which is actually true, as they say "you are the result of your thoughts. Leonardo did a great job and he totally deserved to be nominated for an Oscar. As well as Margot she turned some scenes exciting.

This project started when Dicaprio outbid Brad Pitt to buy rights for the movie. One of the main reasons he bought it was because Dicaprio felt he was perfect match for the role.Then he hired Terrence winter to write a script and Scorsese to direct.So this is basically a project Dicaprio wanted to make. The problem here is this movie is juggling lot of things. 1)Dicaprio doesnt want to loose his boxoffice appeal, so if the movie is made like a dark character study then it wouldnt make its budget back. 2)Its desire to portray debauchery on screen authentically using huge sums of money meant that there is lot of weight on it to make money back. 3)Oscars like winking devil like Daniel plainview from there will be blood...but they dont like pure evil like Ralph fiennes in schindlers list or Michael fassbender in 12 yrs slave..so they portrayed jordan belfort as this ambitious guy changed by the system felt kinda pandering. 4)Focus of story is on all the wrong areas...yes you can show boobs, sex, debauchery but at the same time you need a contrast element in the storyline to show the excess. 5) This might be the main thing..one group of fanbase you can always trust to show up time and again is young men between 12 and 30.....if you can tap into this demographic..they will show up time and again like MCU or DCEU. Dicaprio tapped into this fanbase somewhere around inception and django. So if he can make movies that this group enjoys then they will keep showing up and that age range is ready to idolize someone.The are just waiting for a idol figure. Key thing to appeal to them is play roles that are Macho,Rule breaker,Anti heroic,Dark,Brooding,,Leader of people,Filled with revenge aka brooding and roles like that. As long as you stick to those, this demographic will show up and Dicaprio is banking on it every single movie.He morphed this sleazy banker into those archetypes. So all these checkboxes are met in making this movie and we ended up with a dark comedic 21 jump street movie with a prestige picture kind of touch by a auteur director in scorsese. So we end up with a movie that spends way more time on excess to the point of making it look cool.
