Comments on: Leonardo Dicaprio (Blood Diamond Reviewed) http://danielfranklingomez.com/blog/critiques/leonardo-dicaprio-blood-diamond-reviewed/ Mon, 09 Jan 2012 01:49:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Dee http://danielfranklingomez.com/blog/critiques/leonardo-dicaprio-blood-diamond-reviewed/comment-page-1/#comment-7990 Dee Wed, 31 Jan 2007 07:00:04 +0000 http://danielfranklingomez.com/blog/2007/01/29/leonardo-dicaprio-blood-diamond-reviewed/#comment-7990 I thought the movie was pretty good. Two thumbs up to Leonardo DiCaprio & Djimon Hounsou. As for Jennifer Connelly, she didn't really have alot of scenes did she? I thought Leo had a weird strong Aussie accent; considering he was suppose to be South African. One scene (more or less the whole movie) where he was trying to 'sound' African didn't quite work it with me. I thought the movie was pretty good.

Over the years, LeoDiCap actually have become into a much more matured actor. Titanic was just medicore but it helped him to be really famous though. Many didn't know that he was a child actor until that sinking ship movie came along. btw, it's not funny to make fun of my hair! I agree with Jems.

Apocalypto is a great movie! And while you're at it, download Pan's Labyrinth as well.

Not a fan of Leo but only because his look is too boyish - if he has a rough manly face, I'm sure I would feel differently. I'm looking forward to enjoying him and his work as he gets older and his face gets more mature, haha! And agree that Ben Affleck is only popular because of his supposed good looks - although not to me. Havent watched the movie and will definitely do when it comes to HBO (!).

I was more impressed with the movie overall than with Loe's action, which frankly wasn't quite bad after all (he's one my my least favourite actors). My wife bugged me to find out if the diamond on her engagement ring is "conflict free". Check the cert (which we kept) - whew! Watched Blood Diamond last night.
