Title: Fascinating biopic
Review: The story of Howard Hughes is a lot more exciting than I expected it to be. The film begins with the making of the lavish spectacular 'Hell's Angels' in 1930, and continues through to Hughes's battle to preserve his TWA airline after WW2.I took a great dislike to Leonardo di Caprio in 'Titanic' which I absolutely loathed. Likewise I disliked Cate Blanchett in 'Elizabeth. Here, however, both actors give terrific performances, Cate Blanchett is marvellous as Katherine Hepburn and diCaprio carries this very long film without once boring me. There are excellent supporting performances too, I particularly enjoyed Alan Alda as obnoxious Senator Brewster, and Jude Law is suitably gorgeous and raffish in a cameo performance as Errol Flynn.It is diCaprio's film though, and a very good film it is.
