Thinking about seeing "The Wolf of Wall Street" -- anybody here seen it yet?

Is it any good?

1. I was really disappointed with it

I didn't even bother to watch it to the end. I don't know, I just expected it to be a whole lot better than it was. I guess that depends on what kind of movies one likes though.

2. I liked it.

3. Fwiw, what I thought about it. Might be some spoilers, not really about plot.

4. Saw it,

I liked it, and Leonardo Dicaprio is a great actor. But there's about at least a 1/2 hour that they could have cut from the movie. There is a lot of debauchery in the movie. These two guys did any drug they could get their hands on, had sex with anyone who has a pulse, and got into situations where they should have died but didn't.

5. Sounds like one giant frat party.

7. Yup, pretty much! Except they got paid millions.

6. I'm going to echo that it's good and overall entertaining, but needed a bit tighter edit.

I agree there's probably at least half an hour of redundant "these brokers are shady debauched whoring coked out scum" scenes. Those scenes are all very well done and some of them visually fascinating (I loved the bachelor party flight to the guy's wedding) but it was a bit too much to make the same point.
