The Blood Diamond

It's more than a good movie, it's an excellent movie.

I liked it too, and Di Caprio lately threw at us some good movies. Blood Diamond, The Aviator and the Departed were all pretty good!

I went into the movie expecting DiCaprio to fuck it up, but that guy did a great job. The movie itself is awesome. Two thumbs up!

I think Leonardo DiCaprio finally looks like a man and not an ugly boy. Ofcourse the plot is somewhat cheesy with the Jennifer Connelly in the picture, but not too cheesy. The message of the movie is strong and if you think about how those things described in the movie really happen in real life, it makes you feel sick. Good movie, well worth seeing.

This movie was actually dulled down and significantly sanitized for general display around the world.

The real brutality of Africa at war as so much worse than anything that movie could portay.

But it is good that these types of stories are beginning to be made - but there is a long way to go before the true magnitude of the humanitarian disaster that is Africa is fuly exposed.

Great movie.

Great movie.

Might I also recommend Lord of War too. I thought that was a pretty good take a well. Although definitely from a different perspective.

But I was actually surprise at how good this movie was. Yeah, like before anything with Di Caprio I might shy away from, but I was genuinely surprised at how good this movie was.

Definitely a Thumbs Up!
