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+
