Dreary acting and mis-casting

Rating: 1/10 (20 December 2004)

Just another example of DiCapprio's lack of acting abilities. Not to mention mis-casting of the actresses. Shallow performances all around.
Story is decent, but overshadowed by the lack of skill of the cast.
I was hoping for a better bio-pic, but it seems to be a skill that Hollywood is now lacking. Gone are the days of great character actors playing roles in good films, they weren't always historically accurate, but at least they were viewable.
By the end of The Aviator I wanted my money back. It's so tiring to keep seeing the same group of actors who, because of too much media hype, think they are great acting talents. It would be interesting to see what Jim Carey would have done with the part.
