The Amazing Howard Hughes

Rating:
Summary: Dated, dry movie about one the most mysterious men ever.
Review: This movie is the most boring biographical movie I have ever seen. Its educational value is lost due to its boring nature. Its entertaining value is virtually non-existant. Toomy Lee Jones, playing Hughes is the only bright spot. Considering that it was made for TV in 1970s, it is understandable that film lacks truth, for example, in regard to Hughes sexuality. So, if you need some serious info on Hughes, you'd better read a book and if you looking for plain cinematic entertainment, you willl not find it here.

Rating:
Summary: A major disappointment from original release on T.V.
Review: TNT showed this a few years back and I recorded it to VHS without the commercials and I find myself watching that fuzzy old self-recorded VHS more than this DVD! They added a couple of meaningless scenes and removed many major and important ones. Watching this DVD after seeing the TV version (same applies to the VHS version) makes me feel sick! Wait till it comes around on TV and skip this one folks.
