Car: 1992 Toyota Pickup Rep Power: 38 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I was able to watch Blood Diamond the other day and I have to say that it was quite the film. It had a very interesting story and was not short on dramatic action sequences. Leonardo DiCaprio performed very well as Danny Archer and Djimon Hounsou was impressive as always. If you have not seen the movie I suggest you do, you will leave satisfied. And for those who have not seen the movie, a short plot summary: Spoiler Text: (Click here to toggle display) So for those who have seen it, what are your opinions?

| Previously known as ssnapier | I liked it very much, I just wish it could have had a happier ending for Archer! Someone told me that the world's leading diamond producer had to spend more than 15 million dollars to counteract the negative effect this movie generated for their sales figures.

| So I guess I'm one of the few who didn't actually like it that much then. It wasn't a bad movie, in fact it was good....not great. I kinda found it boring to be honest, the action sequences lacked flair and the woman was only there to push the political agenda of the movie. DiCaprio was good, he's really coming along as an actor, especially following his impressive performance in The Departed, but I still can never forgive him for the cinematic shipwreck that was Titanic. | |

| Spoiler! I liked it pretty much. It was by far better than I expected... The acting was good, the action sequences are realistic AND there is very little of that awful hollywood formula of the main character being necesseraly attracted by a girl and getting to kiss/make love with her. It's ok in some movies but please, not with all of them! | |

| one word... AMAZING. That was truly an amazing movie, plus it really had an effect on me because last year my grade 10 planning class raised over $20 000 for people in Uganda effected by the LRA war. (not over diamonds but same basic concept with child soldiers and all) it's really horrible what happens over there, and to say this movie is based on fact is almost an understatment
