I watched it in French so I didnt quite understood it. But it was really long and there were so many stories in the movie that I guess majority of people didnt get it

Was a good entertaining film, with good acting. I'd give it 7.5/10

It was good, but far from amazing.

That's life.

Why would they add fictitious characters/plots just to appease a few sensitive viewers who don't want to see reality?

I wonder if you will ever write anything sensible, or is making provocative posts all you do?

Someone who states that they would have been happy for all the characters to die would tend not to strike me as the sensitive type.

Nonetheless, I wish I was a big boy like you and could enjoy watching dark, gritty films like The Wolf of Wall Street. You sound like you have lots of street smart.

I agree. This review sums it up very well in my opinion:

The Wolf of Wall Street is a fake. It’s meant to be an exposé of disgusting, immoral, corrupt, obscene behavior, but it’s made in such an exultant style that it becomes an example of disgusting, obscene filmmaking. It’s actually a little monotonous; spectacular, and energetic beyond belief, but monotonous in the way that all burlesques become monotonous after a while.

I really enjoyed it, it is long but I never felt that it was being dragged out. Leonardo DiCaprio did a really good job of portraying Belfort and actually made me like him, I want to read the book now.
I watched a few interviews and clips from Belfort's seminars and he is very motivating and charismatic.

Yes, he does it very well. Easy to see how he conned people out of millions of dollars.

I'm shocked that people think so much of this film. Half of the film is just debauchery, the other half is stock and investment gibberish half of us won't even understand.
Not much depth to it at all. Could have taken a few other directions, shown more of the investigator and investigation process, show how it affected the financial victims etc.

Seeing Margot Robbie's tits was great though, along with the comical presence of Jonah Hill, and credit where credit's due, DiCaprio did a good job.

Loved it. The bit when Jordan was in the cerebral palsy phases and was trying to get the phone out of donnie's hands was one of the best movie sequences I've ever seen.
On par with King of Comedy and Casino Scorsese-wise.

So what? The whole thing is one big exaggeration, they might as well throw in a few different perspectives and angles along with it.

Yeah that was hilarious! Apparently some people with cerebral palsy were offended by that scene.

Yes, for Belfort, it lined his pockets even more and made him into a star.

For me, it made me worse off as I had to pay £8+ for a cinema ticket!

You need to appreciate why the film was made.

To make money.

Again, based on the book, which is you read it is based on Belfort's perspective. Its a biographical account. Its illogical to say its should have had a few different perspectives when the thing it was based on only had one perspective. Saying "so what" doesn't introduce any sense to it.

And it isn't. It correctly shows the excess of the 80s and 90s
