Got to agree. Plus Gene Hackman is one of the GOAT actors and his performance in this is way underrated.​

and makes some forgettable and wack movies

early in his career he was pretty good


aviator sucks, j edgar sucks, revolutionary road :comeon:

blood diamond, body of lies :what:, shuttery island, gangs of new york all forgettable


if it wasn't for titanic he would be on larry holmes status. he needed nolan da gawd to revive his career. even in inception the star was joeseph gordon levitt

I thought I was the only one who didn't really get into gangs of NY. But I totally disagree about the aviator. I thought it was really good. But maybe that's cuz Howard Hughes himself is just fascinating.

An he's got piff movies besides the aviator like the departed, inception and catch me if u can to name a few.

I'm the first to put overrated actors on blast... But Leonardo Dicaprio is NOT one of those actors. Dude has built a solid résumé since What's Eating Gilbert Grape. The only knock on him is that he often looks too young for the parts he plays, but as far as his ACTING its top notch. The Departed, Gangs Of New York, The Aviator, Catch Me If You Can, Blood Diamond, etc. are all excellent movies that benefited mostly from his performance. Inception is one of my favorite movies ever.


Saying that Leo is overrated in a world where Nicholas Cage still gets top billing?:aicmon:

I'm not even the biggest Leonardo fan, but when I look at the his resume :wow:

Dude has succesfully made the transition from Child Actor to Adult Movie Star which we know isn't easy to do.

Its at least 10-20 actors you could make a much stronger case for being overrated than him..

His strength is in the projects he picks and the directors he works with. He's in a position to pretty much pick any film he wants and he consistently picks interesting projects. Similar to Brad Pitt and George Clooney.
But I wouldn't call him a GREAT actor. He is very good and a true movie star, but one of the GOATs? No, not at all.

So George Clooney isn't a great actor either?

No, I don't think so.

When I say great I'm talking DeNiro, Brando, Newman, Hoffman, Day Lewis, Nicholson.

Clooney and Dicaprio just aren't on that level.

Name me a Clooney performance that is on the level of DeNiro in Raging Bull or Brando in On the Waterfront.

Just one film that deserves to be mentioned with those performances.
