The highest grossing film for over 10 years until Avatar (2009) knocked it off its top spot. Still holds up well, with high scores across the board, except Rotten Tomatoes audience ratings which is a bit low compared to the others. DiCaprio’s performance is good, but doesn’t compare to his more recent more mature outings.
