This is another movie staring DeCaprio which looks to be really good.

If it is half as good as The Departed it should be great. It also has Djimon Hounsou in it who I think is a kickass actor. Also it stars the hottest chick in the world Jennifer Connelly which pretty much makes it a must see for me....
Re: Blood Diamond
Not much of a fan of DeCaprio but Jennifer Connelly oh now we are talking.
Re: Blood Diamond
^^ yes sir...she is sooooo nice
Re: Blood Diamond
I saw the preview for this when I went and saw Flags of Our Fathers, and I really want to see this. I think it looks like a really good movie. Not sure what I think about Dicaprio in the roll, but we shall see
Re: Blood Diamond
i used to rag on him pretty hard like everyone else, but he is actually a pretty decent actor. i wont let him stop me from going to see a movie i think is good just b/c he is in it..
Re: Blood Diamond
^My problem is he still looks 6 years old.
Re: Blood Diamond
yeah he does look like a wuss boy
Re: Blood Diamond
^^ he sounds like one too
Re: Blood Diamond
he better not wuss out on his chance to make out with my woman in this movie or i will kick his ass :lol:
Re: Blood Diamond
Ok....so I saw this. Only reason was three lovely ladies asked me to go so I went. :)
Anyways....harsh movie. I know that was the point. Seeing kids forced to murder people was hard. And to think this is really happening is just mind boggling. Here I am after the movie, enjoying a drink with three beautiful women, not a care in the world and I'm thinking this is f*cked up knowing half way across the world mass genocide and other atrocities are happening.
*and Connelly? Beautiful.

admit it. you're in it for Jennifer Connelly too. :Naughty:
from the trailer, it looks as if decaprio is also suffering puffy disease. for other examples of this look at vince vaughn and john favreau. :CrackUp:
Re: Blood Diamond
^Yup...puffed up.
Re: Blood Diamond
he's got the most fake accent in this film. You can't truly tell where the hell he is supposed to be from. It sounds like he's a southern american welshman. It sounds so damn stupid to my ears.
Re: Blood Diamond
LOL...he is a bit of a dope. And the money he is getting...sheesh.
Re: Blood Diamond
good lord john favreau is ginormious nowadays; about as big as my wing ding dingaling is going to be when i see my future wife jennifer in this flick... :lol:
Re: Blood Diamond
you go for it bro. you might have to max out all your credit cards to keep up with her.
Re: Blood Diamond
^that would be ok w/ me. :lol:

Re: Blood Diamond

Re: Blood Diamond
obviously you aren't familiar with the south african area accent, because he did a really good job with it.

Re: Blood Diamond
I just cant stop thinking leonardo is retarded after seeing whats eating gilbert grape.
Re: Blood Diamond
then that means he did his job well in that movie...
Re: Blood Diamond
ok, not a dicaprio fan talking. he was super brilliant, come on guys...if al pacino was the man learning to speak with a perfect cuban accent in scarface what about leonardo di caprio? sometimes people just comment whether they like the actor or not, and this is one example. movie was brilliant, di caprio was super brilliant
Re: Blood Diamond
Good flick. A little preachy but good. I thought dicaprio was really good. Definitely recommend this one.
Re: Blood Diamond
second that comment^
Re: Blood Diamond
great movie, and decaprio did a good job. i think djimon hounsous performance was the best though.
Re: Blood Diamond
he's always good.
i like jennifer connelly's hair. :LoveYou:
Re: Blood Diamond
I can't believe he was nominated for Best Actor.
Re: Blood Diamond
why?
Re: Blood Diamond
Because he is Leonardo....thats why. :lol:
Re: Blood Diamond
good enough :lol:
Re: Blood Diamond
;)
Re: Blood Diamond
Caught this movie a few weeks back. The movie overall is pretty good although they could've done a little better with the storyline in terms of connecting all the random people together. Casting too was a mixed bag.
Djimon Hounsou (Solomon) was probably the worst part of the movie for me. I personally feel he added nothing creative/original to his part and the movie, making him a pretty drastic casting error. Only adding to this casting mistake was his acting. Overacting / overreacting and over-enthusiastical expressions to the point of being unnatural got annoying to where I actually wanted to fast-forward his scenes.
Jennifer Connolly did what she could do best but then again and while not in a negative light, I feel they could've easily picked up another actress more befitting her role (seeing her in Dark Water really put things off for me). Nicole Kidman would've probably been better - if not just as good.
Finally, to what makes this movie a fantastic watch even if I turn it on for the 4th time now is Leonardo DiCaprio. I cant even start to describe how frickin amazing DiCaprio is in this movie. I am absolutely disappointed that he didn't win an Oscar for his role.
Playing the young, out for a quick buck, ex soldier with a bad childhood wrapped into a Rhodesian accent is beyond praise. I mean it. From all the movies with all the greatest actors I have seen so far, Dicaprio probably holds top spot for me. Only adding to the icing of his spectacular performance is the consistency of his accent through every single one of his dialogues. I mean not once did you feel a slip up on his part.
"I'm from Rhodesia bruh" ..
Considering the fact that he plays the lead role has tremendously helped the quality of the movie. I'd easily give it an 8/10. This is a must see.
Re: Blood Diamond
finally saw this. I suck at reviews so i'll just say i really liked it and will watch it again.
Re: Blood Diamond
Just watched it on DVD and I'm with Kamal on DiCaprio's performance. Hell, this has gotta be his best role ever. The accent, the soul he puts into it, the credibility. This is by far the best acting I have seen over the past years...
Blood diamond has gotten a special place in my collection. A must see indeed, especially with the crap Hollywood has been throwing at us lately! 9,5 kinks :RockOn:
