This was a love/hate movie, mainly because it rubs your face in just how ludicrously over-rewarded and under-regulated financial sharks are until you have second-degree burns (really . . . what chance do a couple of middle-aged FBI/SEC agents from Hackensack making $80,000/yr have with a 35 year-old Donald Trump-type making millions per week?
But is it just me . . . or is Jonah Hill absolutely STEALING every frame he's in these days (not just here)? I see some REAL potential there. And casting Rob Reiner as his father - brilliant, inspired, and a real treat. Recommended if you're not easily angered at young Donald Trump-types blowing their own horns until your ears hurt. Otherwise . . . stream "Gone Girl." -

I don't know about "since Goodfellas," but I did enjoy this more than The Departed.

This movie had similar characteristics as Goodfellas, which I loved. Just saw this todayanother terrific film. I remember when it came out that many were complaining that the film had too much sexWHERE? It was just the way things work in the corporate worldget over it. The narration, music to highlight scenes and the characters had similar issues as in GF..

Lol at Gangs of NY. Not sure why that movie gets tools who lavish such praise on it. Terrible, terrible film.

If you equalize speed with quality, yes. But it serves the story so right.
I am a huge fan of Scorsese and I loved Shutter Island and Aviator as well. A lot more than Departed.
But, yes. Wolf is a fantastic movie. -

I did not care for this movie or the content, could not even finish it. But I despise Wallstreet, so this is subjective and biased. Movies from Scorcese that I've seen since Goodfellas which I enjoyed much more;
Shutter Island
The Aviator
Gangs of New York
The Departed
Casino
Cape Fear -

Love the movie but The Departed and
Hugo
are better.
I thought nobody was going to mention Hugo. It's not my favorite MS film, but I like it a lot.
Be sure to proof your posts to see if you any words out -

I actually like Hugo better as a film than The Departed. The Departed is insanely entertaining but it has one serious flaw: Madolyn (the shrink). The fact that the two women in Infernal Affairs were consolidated into one character was kind of retarded. That being said, of course The Departed is way better than Infernal Affairs. That was one thing they changed that was really stupid.

Wolf of Wall Street was a huge festering piece of crap. I can't believe this came from a genius director like Scorcese. It's nothing like Goodfellas or Casino. NOTHING! DiCaprio did a great job, as usual, but the film itself was an overlong glorification of bad behavior with no coherent message. What, the Fed is a sucker for not taking a bribe? I've never had higher hopes for, or been more disappointed by, a film than I was seeing this in the theatre. Only an extremely immature person and/or Libertarian would see any redeeming qualities or think this was his "best" film since Goodfellas. First of all that would be Casino, and second every other film he's made tops this repugnant movie by far.
