Just wanted to get some people's thoughts on it.
I watched it yesterday. I know this might be blasphemy, but I feel like maybe they could have cut back on some of the sex and drugs. Not that I minded or was offended, but at some point it seemed gratuitous. We get it, the lead character lived to excess. Also, how many VERY lengthy speeches by Leo to the 'troops" did we need. It seemed like that was a good solid 20 minutes of the movie.
The plot of of this story, to me at least, did not justify a 3 hour run time. Marty- I know you are a master and a genius, but bringing in an editor might not have killed you.
That said, Leo killed it, Jonah Hill was great as well. I laughed a lot, and the chick who plays his 2nd wife in the movie is just staggeringly beautiful, and we see A LOT of her. https://www.google.com/search?q=margot+robbie&espv=210&es_sm=93&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=s6u8Ut3WGcahkQfC0oCIAQ&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAQ&biw=1280&bih=932
Seemed like a lesser Goodfellas to me.
