Also, as much as it would have pained me to say this about 10 years ago, he is a really good actor. I daresay he is the best actor in his age group, at least I can't think of anyone else in their mid-30s that I will make a point of seeing their movies solely because they are in it. Let's limit that last part to male actorsZing said:
. And it's a good thing to, because now we will have a high quality actor for the next 30 or so years at least. He always was a good actor, and you could tell that just by watching What's Eating Gilbert Grape. When I watched that movie, I had to see that it was actually DiCaprio in the credits because at the time I watched it the world knew that DiCaprio was a terrible actor. I guess he finally started to try out actually acting again when (as mentioned) he did Catch Me if you Can with Tom Hanks. Though it's surprising that a movie with Hanks made him start acting and a movie with Jeremy Irons, John Malkovich, and Gerard Depardieu, didn't make it happen first.
Since it seems most haven't seen this movie I won't go into detail on why the end of the movie was absolutely awesome. So instead I'll talk about the collective "dahhhh" that came from a filled theater last night. During the previews everyone was kind of rowdy and excited then the preview for Devil came on, people were intrigued, everyone settled down and the theater got quiet. Then right in the middle of everyone enjoying the potential of this movie the trailer reads "From the Mind of M. Night Shyamalan", and then came the collective, audible, simultaneous "dahhh" of disappointment. It's sad that his career is now synonymous in the movie goers mind with failed execution, everyone was interested until it said his name. Funny.
It's already out on DvD, and been reaired on the movie channel as well. So you don't have to wait for Papurika.pranabowjake said:
Hope you do the Spoiler Warning as well on Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Though ever since Batman Begins I haven't been wanting to see anything that has come out by this director because I was bored watching Batman Begins and Dark Knight. So does Inception have any of the same problems as Batman Begins or Dark Knight? Since that is the main reason I don't want to see this movie.
The only other actor I could say the same for in his age group is dead.obisean said:Also, as much as it would have pained me to say this about 10 years ago, he is a really good actor.

Empire Magazine called it similar to Stanley Kubrick... that's an instant watch for me.
As for people suggesting Decaprio is bad, most hate still stems from over 10 years ago when in Titanic he was the cliche pretty boy for the female demographic... but he's grown out of that. In recent years he's played "crazy".

I stopped when the words "Spoiler" came up. I'll watch the move first and get back to the review MB. Wouldn't normally do this but well most films I've figured out within the first five minutes of watching so it's already "Spoilt". This however looks like a film I might have to actually think about when watching and thus... I'll wait until I've watched the movie before going further in to your review.
Stopped at the spoiler. Just like everyone else. Seriously want to watch this. Haven't seen a movie since Elm Street and that was shit. Just have to wait till the 22nd here in Aus.
Semi-Related: No, I didn't get the Matrix the first time I saw it. I was also like 10 or something. So yeahh.
I will eat this shit up like a plate of chips. Not often does ANYTHING AT ALL come out that I actually look forward to.Zing said:

im probably one of the cretins that won't get this movie. Best to wait till i have it on video to make sense of it after a few watch thrus.
Saw it last night at the midnight showing. I thought it was incredibly predictable, can't really go in depth with out spoilage though.
Action scenes were awesome, so had a good time anyways. Have to scratch my head at how people didn't see the ending coming a mile away though.

I see what you did there, Bob. You've made me want to see it so I can get rid of that nagging sensation in the back of my mind that I'm missing something after that spoiler warning.
Damn it, now I've got to see the movie to avoid the spoilers from ruining the movie because I can't stand not seeing an entire Escapist review all the way through, but I can't see this one all the way through until I've seen the movie. Well played, good sir, well played.
