The Aviator was an hour too long, extremely depressing, and deserved none of the Oscar nominations it got, except for maybe best actor. This movie did have good acting and special effects, and held some interest in the first half. But then it became depressing, dismal, violent, overlong, and no fun to watch at all. In some ways I'd rather watch Date Movie again (a truly awful movie) than this film. Bad for kids, and probably boring even for adults. Not even worth a rent. Should have been rated: Somewhere between PG-13 and R Good for ages 15+

Liked it! You do see the bottom of Leonardo DiCaprio! In 2 senses, it is a bit bloody. In some ways, there is a good role model, in some ways a bad role model. Poor Howard Hugues!

i would let a 9 year old watch

"The Aviator" was a fantastic movie with scary-good performances by all the cast, the standouts being Blanchett, of course, in her Oscar-winning role as the Oscar winner, but most importantly Leonardo DiCaprio's take on Howard Hughes. The rawness and obsession makes the movie for teens and up, but it's worth the wait viewing this masterpiece by Scorcese.

Awesome movie. As someone else said he had ocd(obsessive compulsive disorder). Also he was extremely paranoid. And eventually went kind of crazy. I'm not saying i wouldn't a senator was blackmailing! Also he hated germs so would bring his own soap everywhere and would on;y drink from non opened bottles. And his paranoid made him not come of his office. The nudity is only his back but is a couple scenes( towards the end he had no clothes) . Also his office didn't have a bathroom(he lined up bottles of urine). But he was like most genius a little crazy. The OCD(i think) made him keep repeating stuff he eventually had to put a towel over his mouth. At the end it was sad at least for me
