This is the fifth collaboration between Scorsese and DiCaprio coming from Gangs of New York, Aviator, Departed and Shutter Island I feel this is the lesser one. The Departed is probably their best collaboration because the writing was brilliant. The writing in this is underwhelming. This film is produced by DiCaprio and is made as a comedy rather then a serious movie. I haven't read the book but this man wasn't a good man we needed to see that more. We just saw drug's and hookers and a lot of cussing. I'm ok with those things but it needed to go with a better story. There's a lot of unnecessary stuff in this movie I just wish we could have focused on the real story. Overall the acting was great and I do feel DiCaprio should have won the Oscar for this

Would've been better if he died or reformed somehow. all the characters are morally reprehensible which makes it annoying to watch. but after the beginning they're all conning rich people which is less bad but still wasting all the money on dumb stuff. too much objectification of/violence against women on screen. also had to see the main character rape his wife which was gross. which is absolutely the point (see also: scene where they talk about people with dwarfism as another species) but as i say every time - that doesn't make watching it enjoyable at all! but the female characters are all solid. a big fan of Teresa Petrillo's brief but wonderful characterisation. big fan of the FBI agents and lawyers. but what jordan said during their talk about him being a small fish in corrupt pond was hella valid. anyway really well made and pretty funny. never laughed aloud but it was like the way global warming is funny.

There are NO wolves in this film! Absolute disappointment! I recommend it tho, its a good film nonetheless.

Loved the story and how realistic the story is to real life wall street
