I've heard a few criticisms of it. Namely, either that it is nothing but one long sensationalization of hookers and drugs, or that it was too long, or that it glamorized Belfort's actions.
Now, perhaps the length didn't bother me because I paused it and got up from time to time. But I didn't think they were pushing past the plot with the length. The end still seemed rather relevant to the story.
And based on the former criticism, I was expecting to see more hookers than I did (though admittedly, they weren't far off with the drug use).
Frankly, I thought it made Belfort out to be the asshole he was/is. I've met two people who have actually done work for/with him (in his ventures after jail), and they say he's still a complete dick, though the fact that he ought to be in default of his back payments to the defrauded investors should be plenty indication of that.
There were times, however, when it was somewhat slow. Not irrelevant, but slow.
Still, I'd give it an 9 out of 10. Hell, Margot Robbie alone puts it at at least a 7.
Thinking I been wanting to see this one, but the less hookers than ya expected concerns me!
I dont mind long movies, 2 plus hours. I feel cheated if they are closer to the 90 minute mark.
