Leonardo Dicaprio has a strong case to be the best actor of his generation...

[stoneface]

The point is to debate and discuss and get different takes on it. That's the point of the whole forum isn't it?

Yeah, i know, but as fascinating as everyone's take is, I dont think anyone's gonna change their mind off of em'

Norton has a few booty performances....thats enough to knock him out for me...

Depp is great. He's one of the best...

Bale had a few bombs but, he's in the conversation just off of American Psycho alone LOL...i love that film....

 

[rip.dilla]

I don't think working with the best directors in the game automatically qualifies you as a "great" actor.

Example: Tom Cruise who has worked with everyone from Kubrick (RIP) to JJ Abrams

Please elaborate on this Depp is one of the most overrated actors today. He's good but hasn't done anything outstanding in years.

Please elaborate on what makes Leo a great actor... He plays the same type of personality in every movie... Depp has been in so many different roles with deeper characters that show multiple expressions

I disagree with this thread, dude is extremely mediocre as hell. Him and Keannu Reeves just so luck up and always get the best roles for some reason, despite their mediocreness. It's kind of hard to fuck up a Scorsesse movie and all these roles he has been getting.

SMH at his shitty ass acting in Blood Diamonds, horrible accent.

No one need change their mind. It's just for the sake of discussion.

I've never been too impressed with Depp either. He's off to me, but that's about it. And I don't see it as a big stretch to play off-kilter roles like Edward Scissorhands or Jack Sparrow or Sweeney Todd because he's a weirdo in real life. It's not like he has to really reach for that.

 

[Iheart~Cali]

Dicaprio is the truth but he's lacking a dimension in his multifacted acting ability..playing a villain because I truly believe he would kill that shit. That's the only thing missing, but other than that, Leo definitely one of the best in this generation. And co-sign Cali... Christian Bale and Johnny Depp are about on the same level as Leo, not above.

Agreed. Every great actor has a key villain role in his filmography. But Leo's still young and he hasn't done alot of movies by anybody's standards. Something like 25 which is next to nothing. So give it some time.....I'm seeing a deranged felon in a legal drama. Ya that would be nice.

I am looking forward to seeing him play Hoover.

I like Leo Dicaprio and all, but Im glad someone else noticed, or was willing to admit this

Norton and Bale imo>>>>

Hes just an overrated dull boring avg actor.... He really doesnt seem to add anything to his roles hes just the same dude

Why people keep sayin Leo gets good roles....cmon bruh....every movie he's been in was just a role given to him? You dont make 5-8 great movies by just getting roles handed to you, it gotta be somethin the director likes about you

I don't think Leo's a great actor either I just wanted to know what makes Depp so great. Cause from what I've seen the last best roles he's done has been in those shitty Pirates movies and Alice and Wonderland. What am I'm missing? And I'm talking about recent performances. I'll give you Public Enemies if you want but that was just OKAY.

This is true, I was gonna say I dont know why folks on here are acting like Leo just goes around and nabs all the good roles. The majority of those were probably given to or maybe even written for him, for all we now. Film makers recognize his talent.

Money, when the nigga is a box office draw better believe they think about making money on their films too. How the fuck do you explain non acting mfs like Keanu Reeves, Nicholas Cage, etc. Dicaprio hasn't shown me shit as an actor once, showed no fucking range and has been playing the same characters throughout his career.Whenever i watch a movie with dude, i feel like i am watching him and not a character.

 

[rip.dilla]

Depp shits ALL OVER DiCaprio. Its not even close.

For example can Leo act a very good comedic role?

primal fear-norton went up with richard gere, and stole the show easily.. no one even ahd a chance..

death to smoochy-slept on classi..... but again norton stole the show....

american history x-norton played a psycho racist, and a rehabilitated feelon in the same movie, and both were scary convincing...

i don't even think american history x was that great of a script... norton just sold it...

fight club-c'mon son....him and brad pitt murdered that shit..the shit where he beat his own ass in the bosses office, then whislted out with his shopping cart and broken mouth....c'mon son...

the score-another slept on movie, with brando and deniro no less....

yo...norton gets it in....

Inception was boring and dull had no substance to it, just a bunch of junk and gibberesh covering up a dull movie. Blood Diamond was a good role that Leo added nothing too, IHe just picks avg boring roles to me where he doesnt have to do much to enhance the role.
