DiCaprio is GOATY

[Rafaisdabest]

That's his best movie by far! Love it!

Also, he's good in Titanic and SI.
What's Eating Gilbert Grape was the first movie I saw him in and still love that movie till this day, first saw that when I was only 15 at school.

"Leo Dicaprio needs to stop yelling and start acting"

That's bullshït. He can act very well and it definitely looks realistic a lot of times.

"every time I watch a movie of his, I feel like I'm watching Leonardo DiCaprio play the same person, only dressed differently."

That's not true either. Compare his Billy from The Departed to his Jordan Belfort in the Wolf of Wall Street and Calvin Candy in Django Unchained and that rêtarded kid in What's eating Gilbert Grape.
And you will find that the statement is false.
Or rather a highly simplified version of truth.
Which brings me to what is written below.

"the characters he plays are always intense but intense in the same exact way, not intense in a way that makes sense to each individual character"

This statement is perhaps the closest to truth among the whole poast except the bolded part.
He isn't intense the exact same way.
But he is intense the same 3-4 ways.
He has 3-4 different templates each for a certain type of role and he draws upon them according to the role which means that although not all his roles are the same but he is not quite the chameleon that Al Pacino and DeNiro once were in the 70s, which Daniel Day Lewis has been for his whole career.

Leo doesn't bother to create a completely new character everytime he plays a new role which automatically disqualifies him from the list of legendary actors but he is still a very good actor and the review by Elise De Los Santos of the Chicago Tribune implies the contrary.

But honestly only a few people in Hollywood are actually "character" actors who believe in drawing out a unique character. Most don't bother. A handful like Day Lewis, Bale, Phoenix, Christoph Waltz, Javier Bardem do.
Those are some of the few great chameleons we have.

I have sold out and started using other celebrity quotes. Unlike Leo, he still hasn't sold out to Marvel.

Once upon a time in Hollywood would be my personal Leo goat performance. The brotherhood with Brad was Tremendous.

One of these days Imma sit and watch The Irishman and Once Upon back to back.
Then I'll say, "Today I settle all family business".
