Do people...

Yes. He is one of my favorite actors. I use to despise him until Gangs of New York. At that point I became a fan.

Big fan, but i've never thought of him as a good actor. Which is kind of what I think about Tom Cruise too. He's very good at being "intense" on screen. But he ain't no Gary Oldman or anything. He's a movie star. I like movie stars. I don't need them to be good actors.

He had better acting roles when he was younger. Really thought he was good in The Basketball Diaries, What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, and The Beach.

Still think he’s solid.

He was excellent in Blood Diamond.

He’s typical of todays low-testosterone males with small hands. Compare him to Scorsese’s previous muse - De Niro, that guy is a man.

That said, DiCaprio is a decent actor, and he is exceptional in Shutter Island.

He just seems like he’s pushing too hard and lacks any natural charisma. Brad Pitt effortlessly outshone him in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.

Never seemed all that good to me

He’s made some great films. But his range is limited. He often recycles his mannerisms and style. When I watching Inception, for example, I would sometimes feel I watching Teddy from Shutter Island; then in the next moment; I’d feel like I were watching Billy Costigan from The Departed; and the next moment, I’d feel I were watching his character from Revolutionary Road etc.

Sometimes, his acting can be cringe too

He's a nothingburger, imo. But I will say that his portrayal of the retarded boy Arnie Grape in "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" was sheer genius.
