I liked it overall. The main thing that bothered me was that it was turned up to 11 the entire time, so when bad shit started happening it's not like it had any impact whatsoever.
Also, I can't believe I'm saying this -- as pervy as I am -- but they went a little overboard with the sex stuff. After seeing a couple of orgies, I get the point that it was a debaucherous lifestyle, and they kept up the pace the entire time. The last sex scene he as with his wife was borderline porn -- and I don't know, maybe I like to keep my porn and cinema separate. I feel like a sex scene better be important to the plot. It felt kind of gratuitous.
And the ludes scenes was totally worthless and annoying, went on forever.
But Leo DiCaprio was amazing, especially in his big speeches to his crew ----and a mediocre Scorcese movie is better than most other movies.
That scene of Rob Reiner's character intro, where he answers the phone had me laughing for a minute.
