Wolf of Wall Street movie review.

The Wolf of Wall Street

The Wolf of Wall Street is a 2013 black comedy film directed by Martin Scorsese, based on the true story of Jordan Belfort(played by Leanardo DiCaprio), a New York stockbroker in the 1990s. Belfort starts with aim to be sucessful and become rich. By his early twenties Belfort had achieved excess success as founder of the brokerage firm Stratton Oakmont and had earned himself the title "The Wolf of Wall Street". Belfort is joined by his wolfpack in this adventure at the top end of wall street. Belforts firm is involved in securities fraud and corruption, and also has trouble in his personal life with the temptation of money,power,drugs and women all coming into play.

  This is a movie that i believe had the potential to be much better, with an exciting storyline and top actors, Leanardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill for example. But to be honest i found the movie disappointing for the hype around it. Saying this there were some hilarious moments and excellent scenes, just in moderation. I also felt the movie dragged on a bit, with a running time of 2 hours 59 minutes. Overall it is not a movie i would particularly reommend and I would give it a rating of 7.3/10.

Thank you for reading this review, please give it a thumbs up and check out my other reviews if you enjoyed it.

Slumdog Millionarie-Movie Review

Slumdog Millionaire

 Slumdog Millionaire is a 2008 British drama film directed by Danny Boyle. It is an adaption of the novel 'Q & A' by Indian Author Vikas Swarup. The movie was set and filmed in India and follows the story of Jamal Malik (Dev Patel) an eighteen year old who grew up in the slums of Mumbai who becomes a contestant on the Indian version of 'Who Wants To Be Millionaire'. Jamal is an uneducated, street kid and is expected to fail within the first couple of questions but this is not the case in this extraordinary insight into Jamal's life. Jamal has been accused of cheating and is being violently interrogated. Jamal recounts in flashback how he knows the answer to each question, each one linked to a key event in his life. He is one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees, 60 million viewers remain glued to their televisions eager to see if he'll correctly answer the final question can the young orphan from Mumbai really go from rags to riches?

This is a truly inspiring movie that also manages to be extremely entertaining. The plot is exceptional, making for a breathless and exciting story. With a love story mixed this is a movie that deservedly won 8 Academy Awards as well as seven BAFTA Awards (including Best Filmm), five Critics' Choice Awards, and four Golden Globes. Overall this is a movie that i would highly recommend and I would give it a rating of 9.4/10.
