I see no awesome movies on that list
He sucks, he's the same role everytime. Can't stand him...
Just to fuel the fire: After Blood Diamond and The Departed (and to a more recent extend, Shutter Island), i say Leo has become one of those actors whose movies i'll watch simply because he is in them. It might just be good movies making him look like a good actor, but regardless of what you consider good acting, a good movie is a good movie. As such, i am seriously looking forward to seeing Inception
Blood Diamond was absolutely terrible... I saw it in theater with a friend (I had no idea who was in it) and it's actually the movie that solidified how much I can't stand him. He's the female version of Jennifer MANiston... the exact same acting every time.
IMO, a good movie can be ruined by a terrible actor, same a good actor can carry a not-so-good movie. I can think of quite a few times I walked out a theater thinking "good movie, too bad they cast so and so instead of so and so...". Perfect example that comes to mind is The Matrix. I have nothing against Keanu Reeves at all, I think he's cool, a good person and hilarious. But he was absolutely NOT the person I would have used for the character of Neo. I'd crack up every time he'd get down in to a kung fu pose, he looked awkward and borderline ridiculous. Same thing for the Bourne movies... I fail to understand how ANYONE who has read and enjoyed the books could POSSIBLY accept Matt Damon as Jason Bourne. Bourne is a tall, rugged, muscular man's man of a dude. Not a short little guy. I love Matt Damon, awesome actor... but he's the LAST guy I would have cast for the Bourne movies and again, I thought the movies were meh simply because seeing him playing Jason Bourne looked stupid.
And don't think I'm pre-disposed to not liking actors in roles and whatnot, I can definitely be proven wrong... I was one of those people that thought casting Daniel Craig as James Bond was fairly stupid as I didn't think he was the right guy for the role at all. But about 5 minutes in to the first Bond flic with Craig, I was sold, I thought he was perfect! By the end of the movie, I felt that he was pretty much the best bond I have ever seen, with Connery right behind him.
Anywho, DeShittio will always be crap to me and will always think of a dozen actors who would have been way better than him in any given role. Hell, I think Steve Urkle would have been a better choice in any DeCrapio roles lol!
