    He gets awesome roles in awesome movies, but yeah, I'm not impressed with his acting.

    People love to hate on Titanic but there's nothing wrong with that movie. If the song gets on your nerves that's one thing but I thought the movie was great.
    I liked it.. but I also saw it before there was any hype. It was just a random movie choice for the night and it happened to be its opening night. I went in expecting nothing special, but it ended up being one of the better movie experiences I can remember, and despite the crap that came after, I still have a soft spot for the flick.

    Had I seen it after people starting going goo goo for it, I'm sure my expectations would have ruined it.

    Relevant? He's never been far from the top and is on top now at just 35...he's been in so many incredible movies it's sick...anything he pisses on turns to gold...gold..
    No see that's my point... anything he does is already gold... he gets GIVEN the gold :D and for me, he's been the only issue I have with most of the films. I don't DISlike the guy... like I said I think he's good and I guess the fact that I question his ability means he stays in my head... but I just don't think his performances have ever been anything to write home about. I think with the level of films he's been given, he needs ONE absolute stand out and knock em dead performance. I think he kinda owes it.

    There has been a ton of 'knock em dead' performances mentioned in this thread..to each their own I guess...if you don't think he was exceptional in 'Revolutionary Road' then you just simply don't recognize great acting..end of story and thread ;) ..


    jesus champ...i'm surprised you're able to type with leo's cock in your mouth ;) :P :lol:

    seriously, if y'all think he's the greatest thing ever, have at it...for me, everything i've seen him in he doesn't rise to the quality of the film

    actually, leo was at his best in titanic because the story was so light and uninteresting that his acting seemed right at home

    He kicks ass in these ones. Probably my favorite actor if I had to name one.

    i wanted to die during "revolutionary road"
    wahlberg and alec baldwin were better than him in the "departed"
    one of the best movies no one here has mentioned yet is "this boy's life"
    he's o.k.

    You of all people should know that a cock in the mouth doesn't hinder typing capabilities ;) ....the majority feel that he is a great actor, and if anything, underrated due to the backlash of Titanic....one side can't convince the other, and Helen is always right anyway...so let's all hug it out and have a drink or two..see you fuckers later..

    bums on seats thats why. you get the girlies in and they will drag their boyfriends/ husbands with them. and the boys will go cause they know theyll get lucky after a love story, especially a tragic love story. plus james cameron had a boy crush on him. ;)

    i thought the sfx were brilliant. i wondered(still do) where all those lovely furnishings went and thanks to celine dions song i knew jack was dead before that ship left the dock.

    Perhaps it would be more accurate to say I've liked his performance in every movie I've seen him in! He was good in the Howard Hughes picture too. But Gangs of New York is one of my favorite movies.

    Damn, I completely forgot about 'Revolutionary Road.' Even though I've always enjoyed his movies, I think after that performance is when I was like 'what the fuck, this guy is amazing.' That performance floored me..I couldn't see any other actor in that role...phenomenal acting by both Leo and Kate..

    Samesies. :lol:

    I watched Shutter Island (very good, that, by the way) with workmates a while ago and afterwards we got into a conversation about Leo DiCaprio. I think we all agreed that, yes, he actually is a pretty damn good actor. Although one of the girls said something along the lines of "But ew, he's so old". :roll: But she's a damn kid, what does she know? :P

    All in all, I disliked the guy for a while.. I haven't a clue why. :? But now I've savvied up. 8-)
