Jeremy Urquhart is a writer at Collider who focuses on the Godzilla series, the films of Martin Scorsese, and anything in the action genre.
Martin Scorsese has been prominent within the filmmaking world for decades now. Even more impressively, he’s made movies quite steadily since rising to prominence more than 50 years ago, and the majority of those films have been of a high quality . His most popular decades might be the 1980s or debatably the 1990s, and the 2000s was a notable one, too, given a movie of his finally won Best Picture at the Oscars that decade .
5 'Shutter Island' Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo, Ben Kingsley Even if it’s not quite the best thriller Scorsese has ever directed, Shutter Island might feel like the “most” thriller movie he’s ever directed, especially when The Departed, for example, also functions as a crime/drama film, and something like After Hours combines thrills with dark comedy.
That being said, Hugo is most striking and impactful when it focuses on things kids might likely find boring; namely, the history of film and silent cinema, with pioneering French filmmaker Georges Méliès being a prominent character here. Some of the attempts to appeal to more child-friendly sensibilities in Hugo feel a little awkward in comparison, but the film does still have heart and truly bold visuals.
It's a forceful and angry film at times, exploring greed and a darker side of human nature, proving unafraid to suggest that many people – whether they’d want to admit it or not – would want to be like Jordan Belfort, the movie’s central character. But it’s also worth noting that The Wolf of Wall Street manages to be surprisingly funny and quotable throughout, generally finding itself able to condemn or at least be thought-provoking while also succeeding as entertainment.
