Critics consensus

“With a rich sense of period detail, The Aviator succeeds thanks to typically assured direction from Martin Scorsese and a strong performance from Leonardo DiCaprio, who charts Howard Hughes' descent from eccentric billionaire to reclusive madman.”

The Aviator does make for a rather fascinating and compelling stand-alone story about an industrious, fastidious, obsessive man...

Good but not great, and not for younger kids.

This handsome movie is an oddly well-behaved one to come from the preternaturally energetic Scorsese.

At its best, the movie is a stirring tale about a man whose inner drive allowed him to climb ever higher, grazing the heavens before his inner demons seized the controls and forced the inevitable, dreary descent.
