I’m surprised no one has said Leo in Titanic. He was too young and it always slightly ruined the movie for me. Not believable.



I know. By the time the water started pouring in I was hoping his character would die sooner rather than later.

Funny...I always thought Kate Winslet, though lovely, looked too old for this part. His character was meant to be young and boyish.

I agree. I also thought her acting was SO WOODEN in Titanic. And I love me some Kate Winslet.

Leo is good in some roles, but I do not buy him at ALL in Titanic. He and Kate were horribly matched.

I still can't believe that film won so many awards. They basically just gave him credit for the huge special effects.

The only Leo films I have enjoyed him in were The Departed and Catch Me If You Can. He's generally a reason for me NOT to see a movie.

He was played by Ricardo Montalban originally but RM was a European-Mexican (both parents from Spain) so as European as BC. Plus, since Khan is a genetically engineered being, again, you can’t really say that BC was taking a Latino role. He was great in the movie and really did seem to have the vibe of a young Khan as played by RM.

Ricardo Montalban was considered a physical specimen at the time and they were looking for someone that was brown since the character was supposedly Sikh (or at least from India). Jason Momoa would have been better a cast.

This. Abrams understands almost nothing about Star Trek and just caters to pubescent boys and weirdo girls who like skinny men that look like rabbit fetuses.

Jason Momoa was 3 years old when that movie was made.

WOK was made in 2013. Mom was 34. Perfect age.

Oh yes, could never understand why anyone liked this movie.

Because I will will watch the 'QUEEN' and Pierce Brosnan in anything. The singing was great! The whole thing was fun. Lighten up, it's a fricken' ABBA musical. You want to see actors who actually lived through that musical period.

Tom Hanks in anything. I'm sick of how much Spieolberg worships him. He's ruined most movies he's in because he only plays one character and Speilberg puts him in freaking everything. I live for Christmas movies and I hated Polar Express because of him. He ruined Bridge of Spies. I won't see The Post and my dh wants to see Greyhound but I refuse. I wanted to love Extrememly Loud and Incredibly Close but...

There are so many actors who aren't given a chance and for a decade it seemed he was in EVERY movie.

I can't. stand. Tom Hanks in almost anything BUT do watch The Post. It is so good I was completely taken off guard by it. Really, really good. trust me.

Polar Express made me nauseous because of the 'uncanny valley' of the animation. And then when those scary cretins board the train, my 5 year old started crying and I just noped the f*ck out. Tried it again when they were older years later and we all felt like we could vomit from it.

WTH how is this movie even a thing.

?? Avatar is the highest grossing film of all time.

Are you the same ninny who hasn't read Hunger Games and thinks Peeta should be "manly", doesn't realize that Wrath of Khan has been remade twice, most recently in 2013, thinks Mama Mia is some high art form deserving of operatic virtuoso. F*cksake, man, get a clue.

It's AVATAR THE LAST AIR BENDER, NOT THE OTHER AVATAR.

Wrong. Loved "Dances with Wolves".

Good God. I can't decide which was worse--his terrible acting or terrible directing.

Yeah, it only won seven Oscars, with another five nominations. What garbage.

But please, do tell us more. You're really putting that B- you got in the Intro to Film Studies class you took 25 years ago to good use.

Oh please. Goodfellas losing the Oscar to Dances with Wolves is one of the most embarrassing awards in Oscar history.

I’ll see you this and raise you Brokeback Mountain losing to Crash.

Forrest Gump winning over Pulp Fiction and Shawshank, anyone??

Keanu Reeves in Dracula was, from start to finish, the most laughably bad performance I've seen in 55 years of watching movies.

Strongly disagree.

Yes, I loved her in BJD!

You are a monster.

Another vote for Renee as the perfect Bridget

Wait. Nicole Kidman played Lucillie Ball? F*ck me, that's ridik.

Currently filming. With Javier Bardem as Desi Arnez. At least Nicole Kidman is a natural redhead.
