For some reason Martin Scorsese decided to choose Leonardo DiCaprio as his go-to leading man about ten or fifteen years ago, and he’s been suffering for it ever since. DiCaprio’s reedy, simpering voice and awkward attempts at capturing the mannerisms of his characters has led many of Scorsese’s movies to seem flat and forced.
Nothing Scorsese’s ever going to do will ever match Raging Bull – partially because De Niro was so good at being both pathetic and sinister. DiCaprio is the softest, wussiest actor ever – putting him in a Scorsese movie is like casting Elmo as Darth Vader.

Well said. Also disappointed with Spielberg casting him in The Aviator. Howard Hughes looked like Clark Gable not Julia Stiles. He was a pretty good child actor, but ever since Titanic, I haven’t been able to take him seriously as an adult.
