Gangs of New York : DiCaprio was miscast, imho

DiCaprio was miscast, imho

Cillian Murphy should've played DiCaprio's character. DiCaprio is an excellent actor. That's not the issue. It's just, you see DiCaprio more than you do the character.

Murphy would've been the perfect choice. He was the right age, Irish, an excellent actor with heaps of charisma. Personally, I think it would've made the whole film more interesting.

Diaz was also miscast. Have yet to figure out her [hypothetical] replacement..




"He's about as much use as a marzipan dildo.

Re: DiCaprio was miscast, imho

I don't think Cillian could have saved the movie, it had a lot of problems. But your right Leo was terrible in this. Just....terrrbile.

Re: DiCaprio was miscast, imho

Every time I watch the movie I envision Heath ledger in the role. I think he would have been much better than Leo, and ledger vs DDL would have been incredible.

Re: DiCaprio was miscast, imho

I love this movie and i think dicaprio played his role well. I like cillian murphy but don't really see him in the part of amsterdam. I agree that heath ledger would've been incredible and is probably the only actor that could've come close to matching daniel day-lewis's amazing performance as william cutting. Good call.

Re: DiCaprio was miscast, imho

Di Caprio and Cameron were miscast (no chemistry between them either). I think DDL is just sooo good no other actor had a chance!

Re: DiCaprio was miscast, imho

Cillian would've been a great choice. Leo and Cameron both were average. It's like goodfellas, it's my favorite movie but I never really liked Liotta in it

Re: DiCaprio was miscast, imho

I'm glad people like you aren't involved in making movies. If you were, there would be nothing but garbage out there

Re: DiCaprio was miscast, imho

i was just thinking what? how in the world could you have any any issues with liotta in goodfellas he made that film, he carried it.

he was the most memorable and significant performance and character.

this guy reminds me of the movie reviewer who loves every movie ever made no matter how bad it is who actually thought the garfield sequel was a good movie.

Leonardo DiCaprio was okay in this movie. But as much as I love Cameron Diaz, she was terribly miscast!

We don't talk about Bruno! No, no, no!

Re: DiCaprio was miscast, imho

you're wrong the problem is not the casting it's the inadequacy of dicaprio. a better actor would have shined but as it is his performance is flat and in the background in the fight scene at the end with day-lewis.
