The Aviator features an incredible lead performance by Leonardo DiCaprio. Just as always his range in this movie is insane. Cate Blanchett is also really good here but a little underutilized. Scorsese's directing is obviously great. The movie has great atmosphere building and production design. The visual effects are hit or miss but the practical ones look good. The music is also pretty solid. However I think the movie is too long and the story loses momentum. I just wasn't incredibly interested in the plot. This is a good movie and I would recommend it if you like Leonardo DiCaprio but it isn't one of the best Scorsese movies.
