I just watched this movie. It was very well done IMO. I have read a lot of stuff about Howard Hughes and he certainly had many mental problems. In which the most severe was OCD(Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) He had that until his dying day. Unfortunately OCD was not diagnosed as a mental disorder until years later in which he could have been treated for it. Cate Blanchett's protrayal of Katharine Hepburn was superb! The movie was a bit long but I really enjoyed it! Opinions?

I thought the movie was good, but it definately wasn't Scorsese's best.

The sets are very intriguing. It's possibly one of the most beautifully shot movies I have ever seen.

I couldn't get through it. I skipped to Gwen Stefani's part and then couldn't handle anymore.

I loved it, even though many parts were fictionalized. Cate's portrayal of Kate was awesome. She's what kept that film going imo.

I saw it at the theater and just loved it. Leonardo DiCaprio is one of today's best actors in my opinion. The life of Howard Hughes has always fascinated me. He was a brilliant man, but was crippled with mental illness. Today, he could have been treated.
