CGiii Comment

It's 3 hours long!!!

The first hour has its moments.

The second starts to drag.

And...the third - if you are still watching - is a complete disaster.

DiCaprio turns in a high octane performance as the repugnant Jordan Belfort...the extravagance and indulgence of [both] the man and the film are what is quintessentially wrong with Hollywood...

Belfort was [and is] a criminal - and, he is laughing all the way to his Swiss bank with all the money he made by selling his story...to a dribbling and drooling Scorsese.There's a gay butler who has a gay orgy in the house of his employee - and is promptly sacked.

Otherwise, avoid this like the plague...hedonism has never looked so tedious.
