The Aviator is more or less a biography of Howard Hughes. Those of you not aware of Howard Hughes are probably my age and not put in raptures by shiny or really big planes. This movie was way too long. There was little action in a movie that everyone should have known the ending going into. Allot of people will say that the camera work and the direction is flawless. This can be said of most Spielberg wastes of time. Flawless with out an artistic vision is boring. I'm not as up with Scorsese as I should be but he seems to make allot of pseudo-art like this, that?s just boring. Although, this might be worth the $1 at a second run.
