$20 says that Tom Hardy outshines Leo.
Well based on the reviews, critic's awards, and early award nominations, it would seem that Hardy puts on a great performance, but not as great as Leo's.

I guarantee you I've seen more movies in theaters this year than you so I'm not going to lose sleep about downloading a couple movies.

You know why I started pirating again? Because I've been burned so many times spending $30+ for a night out at the movies to leave disappointed in the product. Perhaps movie production companies should start putting out a better product. I have not pirated a single album or song since the advent of Spotify because I can actually listen to album before buying it on physical media (I.e. Vinyl). If there were a service that allowed me to view a movie before actually paying for it, I'd be all for it and it would probably stop pirating for me as Spotify did.

I'm sorry you feel the need to fill the pockets of greedy production companies that put out shite product 95% of the time but I'm sure they're not hurting and neither are the actors. Please let me know when we see movie production companies start hurting as if they're in the Oil & Gas business.

Leo was great, the movie was beautiful, but it was pretty boring. I was really looking forward to it, but disappointed.

I'm sure I'll get roasted but I thought it was completely overhyped. I like Leo, like his movies, like watching him. He tries so damn hard but I just never completely buy in to him as the character he's playing. It seems like in every movie now he has that scene or scenes where he's yelling, shaking, and about to bust a blood vessel in his face. I swear I think after working with DDL on Gangs of New York he adopted a "intensity will get me an Oscar" strategy. It just doesn't seem natural or organic with him. The actors who say they choose to stay out of the spotlight so that people see a character instead of a celebrity have a point. It's hard for me to buy a guy that dates only supermodels and brings home 20 girls from the bar as a hard arse frontiersman. As amazing as the story of Glass is it's pretty restricting on film. I agree the cinematography was amazing. So amazing that it's the star of the film and should be the only thing that wins an award. Hardy was good but like Bane I didn't know what the hell he was saying half the time. I did catch myself wondering how the movie would be with him in the role of Glass. Leo is an A lister and gets to cherry pick roles, but this kind of role just doesn't fit him. He shines in movies that are more polished and glossy. This movie was more artsy and I thought it was too easy to just watch him act instead of forgetting that he's acting. It was like watching a pop star try and pull off prog rock. Blast away

Watched it last night loved it. I can't imagine how gorgeous the cinematography would be on the big screen.
