About
"The Aviator," a biopic about the early years of Howard Hughes, legendary film producer, playboy,
and test pilot, is pure entertainment. Marcy Dermansky
Chicago Sun Times
"The Aviator" celebrates Scorsese's zest for finding excitement in a period setting,
re-creating the kind of glamor he heard about when he was growing up. Roger Ebert
CNN
"The Aviator" is the perfect melding of talent and material. Who could be better than
director Martin Scorsese to bring the story of Howard Hughes' Hollywood years to the
big screen?
Paul Clinton
Film Critic
The mythology of Howard Hughes is quite possibly bigger than the man could ever live up to.

Martin Scorsese, for all of the sometimes-great films he has made over 3+ decades,
has never won an Oscar, coming close several times but the golden boy with sword has
always eluded him.
Robin Clifford
San Francisco Chronicle
Scorsese's 'Aviator' is a sumptuous, entertaining look at the life of Howard Hughes -- even if it doesn't have a point.
