Comparing Scorcese to Scorcese? I'd say it's not bad. It might not stand up to his better work, but it really isn't bad. Comparing Scorcese to anyone else? I'd say Aviator is one of the years better movies. Leonardo DiCaprio can act (although I could have done without the man-ass). One of the better main stream bio pics I've seen in the last few years. I'd say see it. Although Alec Baldwin's Juan Trippe (owner of PanAm), Kate Beckinsale's Ava Gardner, and Jude Law's Errol Flynn were boring and uninspiring, Cate Blanchett's Katherine Hepburn almost steals the show.
