Interesting concept. I doubt I'll go see it because I don't go to movies often, but at least it's an original idea.

Because he was too strong.. It made him boring and hard to relate to... However, the new movie does look promising, and I've never been interested in anything Superman..

Saw Great Gatsby. Didn't do anything for me. Too much of a love story and too much cgi. Leo was good tho (as always).

Finally watched Silver Linings Playbook, it was an excellent movie.

Should I go see Gatsby today? I was excited for it (i guess..), but the reviews don't look great and seems some on here liked it, and some didn't.

I was going to watch but everyone I know says it is boring and not worth the time

I'll probably skip it for those reasons.

Might go check out Pain and Gain today.

Yeah I liked it a lot. My favorite movie from last year was a tie between Django and Life of Pi. I was actually really shocked how much I liked Life of Pi, great movie and story

No surprise, since SB didn't like Gatsby, that I would really enjoy it.

Fucking awesome movie, imo. Highly recommend.

This is the first positive review for GG that I've heard. All of my friends that saw it said it was terrible, which fits my perception based on its pathetic trailers.

Time to take Leo off the great actor list IMO. Hasn't made a good movie where he was the star in quite a while.

LOL uhhh, no. Leo is a great actor and is spectacular in every movie he's been in lately. He was absolutely fantastic in this movie.

I didn't see J Edgar so I guess I can't say every movie.

My point still stands though--Leo is a great actor.

Blood Diamond
The Aviator
Django Unchained


Heard Revolutionary Road is good, just not really my style of movie. I also liked Shutter Island a lot.

Aviator I thought was boring, and bad. Django, he wasn't the leading role. Revolutionary Road was boring as well, but not "bad". Just dull. Blood Diamond was alright, but again nothing great IMO.

Didn't like Inception at all. The plot was pretty much shit and doesn't hold up under any scrutiny, much like the latest Batman flick.

Right but we're not talking about your opinions. We know you don't really think much of Leo or his movies.

The point we're making is he has been in good movies and is a great actor. You don't think so; but giving your opinions on his movies won't change our minds LOL

Edit:

I dont think he's a bad actor, just chooses bad projects. He pretty much plays the exact same character in every movie as well.

So you thought Aviator, The Beach, Man in the Iron Mask, Revolutionary Road, and Body of Lies were great films?
