Leonardo Dicaprio Rant!!!
(The Wolf of Wall Street)
The Wolf of Wall street was probably the worst movie I have ever seen!!! And It's sad because it stars one of my most favorite actors. Leonardo Dicaprio!
I've always thought of Leo to be the actor that acts for the sake of acting like art for the sake of art kind of thing. To do things just for the pure enjoyment of doing them with no need for accolades. I mean, it's good to be appreciated but it isn't what matters in the end or at least it didn't seem to be for him. He just seems like he doesn't take EVERY script (like some actors. *cough cough* Johnny Depp) or work with just any old director or something. But he did take the wolf of wall street script, and he did work with whoever directed this piece of crap and all I wanna know is why??? Like why on earth? lol You do great movies like Shutter Island, Inception, Revolutionary Road etc. Gatsby was good but kind of started to go down this path and then BAM. This movie!
I'm not angry.. I'm just disappointed. Like when I first heard of The Wolf of Wall street, I was like I have to see it!!! From the exterior this seems like a good movie. But also in general, I've come accustomed to just watching everything that Leonardo Dicaprio is in. Like I let him pick the movie for me because that's how much I trust him as an actor. I ended up not seeing it in theaters and seeing it on Netflix (hence the delay reaction) and absolutely HAAATED it! This was his worst movie by far to me. He played this sleezy and corrupt business man that pretty much robbed his way to the top and called it success. And the story was directed so terribly also. Now that I really think about it, that might have been the bigger culprit of culprits in this movie. Some parts of the movie where like a montage of events instead of really going into them when it seems like it shouldn't have been. And the montage was terrible! lol The movie in general was so simplistic. It was like a 3rd grader told this story. Seriously!
And lastly.. they topped it off nicely with having him do his most horrible accent EVER!! lol I could forgive the accent in shutter island lol. It was sooo sleezy! Like seeing men be at their lowest selves. Just hated it! I couldn't even get through half of it! I don't know why these movies were chosen and done on his part lol. There is a reason but it is beyond me! I have a feeling Gatsby was for the girls and Wallstreet was for the men? lol LEO! Go back to quality movies PLEASE!!!!!
and THANK YOU!
