I think he's going to fudge it again somehow when his next film is forgettable. DiCaprio is like Brad Pitt in that they seem to have amazing agents who get them the best scripts while their acting is mediocre. Tarantino copies the best bits from a bunch of other directors but it gets a bit samey after a while. DiCaprio is more overrated as he never had a trademark style. It's so dumb. He's obsessed with the idea of ten great films (ten by fudging the numbers) and hasn't realised that different films appeal to different people and opinions on films change over time. He's in a position where he can make whatever he wants and it will get funded and people will watch it. He should be beyond caring about awards or box office or what people think. He can do passion projects like this, films that push boundaries, experimental films, anything. Instead he seems to be fixated on having a perfect legacy to the point of ruining his legacy because it's become all a bit too safe. I used to hate Clara as well for splitting up Doc and Marty and so preventing them from having more adventures. Now I realise they had to end the trilogy somehow. I just wish they could have written Clara better. She’s set up as a great match for Doc but spends the whole time needing rescued by him (runway horses, telescope broken, train rescue) or pining after him (dance, saying goodbye, on train). There’s not a single scene where she can just be her own person. The closest is when she’s explaining the stars to Doc and discussing Jules Verne. I don’t think a love story is a bad idea. They needed something to end the trilogy, might as well be that. She just looks stumpy and badly proportioned and no neck. Having a surname that sounds like poo doesn’t help either. He has an incredibly good PR team that has built up a (actual) nice guy image around him. He picks his roles very carefully and always plays nice guys. Being able to maintain that for decades is his real acting. Me. Part II used to be my favourite because the start showed the future but now it just looks a bit cringe. The movie is all over the place. The alternate 1985 is interesting but then it rehashes bits from I. Part I is objectively the best movie but I’ve seen it so many times that I avoid it now. That leaves Part III. It has a slower pace, more character driven. Exactly. Angelina Jolie is the same. I'm sure Brad must have one hell of an agent as he gets offered a lot of interesting scripts despite being a terrible actor. At least George can act. She has a new show coming out and has to say something controversial for attention. View all replies >
