MCT:September 5, 2008
T.I.A. This is Africa. And from Africa comes a perfect scenery for a movie, Blood Diamond. Set in Sierra Leone, this movie just got me.
Well, I can't say much for my review's opening, but I just wanna say that the cast of this movie simply a good one. Picking Leo as the main cast? Such a brilliant choice! His performance wasn't outstanding but still a very good one from Leo. He used different accent which was so cool. Djimon Honsou, this African-born actor simply caught my eyes. For him, his performance simply outstanding! Next is Jeniffer Conelly. Well, to be honest her performance is an adequate to be Leo's love interest in this movie. Arnold Veloso as one of the bad guy or the antagonist I might say, well just an average acting performance from our "Mummy".
Enough for the cast, now we're going to travel to the land of the plot, score, etc. Right, the plot of this story is a good one, but still not enough to make this movie a masterpiece. Well, a something shocked me at the end of the story, for I was hoping for a "Perfect-Happy Ending". But that's good.
For the score, I would say that it was a good one (three out of five). And almost forget about the set and the effect. Setting a movie in Africa always provide us with a beautiful scenery and for the special effect, it was a good one, for the producer could make a good gun fight in this movie. One last thing, this movie has lots of good quotes and it was unexpected (for me). Well, I guess that's enough.
Alright, this is the end of my review. To conclude this movie, Leo (and Honsou) really done well to raise this movie up. Good performance from 'em. To end it, I just wanna say one of the best quotes of the movie. The Third World is not a world apart and the witness you will hear today speaks on its behalf. Let us hear the voice of that world. Let us learn from that voice, and let us ignore it no more. -
MCT:September 2, 2008It Was a very long moviei only watched because i like leonardo Dicaprio and djimon Hounsou Great storyline but it just didnt do that much for me

Pretty good movie, but really sad. It really made me realize how fortunate - but also spoiled - we American's are. Loved the ending; heroic endings are my favorite!

This movie has what Last Samurai Lacked a hard and straight message. I liked the female lead, Leo was his usual good.
Nes voiced phenomenally for "Shine on 'em" -
MCT:August 26, 2008great movie, this was one of those movie were i wan't to see a happy ending usually i want controversial endings...

MCT:August 25, 2008
Excellent script and acting. Di Caprio gives a fantastic performance. The story is importnant, interesting and touching.
-
MCT:August 23, 2008ok so i didn't completely pay attention to this movie, but it was good, seemed to go for a lifetime but still good

MCT:August 23, 2008
Fantastic flick. Di Caprio yet again in an awesome performance. Being a true story of what happened in this part of the world at that time and the way it was captured was brilliant. Jennifer Connelly has such seductive eyes and she actually is pretty hot, which I haven't noticed before.

two good central performances
a touch heavy on the hollywood hand wringing, but still a pretty decent movie -

A diamond smuggler, a fisherman in search of his family, and an American journalist become joined in a common quest to recover a rare diamond that will transform their lives. Great cast.

I think that the movie is very exciting and thrilling. Some plot of the movie is really touching, especially the character of the movie Solomon Vandy tries to persuade his son Dia Vandy to put down the gun in his hand. The words that Solomon says to him really touch me. Another plot that touches me is the character of the movie Danny Archer sacrifices his life for Solomon Vandy and his son. When I saw he saying goodbye to them and Maddy Bowen, I felt very sad and it really touched me. I think the movie is an excellent movie, it reflects the society problem of blood diamond. Some people kill others for blood diamond or money. I felt sad after I saw the movie. The film lets me realize that there are many people now suffering from the war of blood diamond. I hope that the blood diamond won't be appeared anymore.

Very good once I got past Leo's awful South African/Rhodeshian accent which sounded like Australian every now and then.

MCT:August 8, 2008
this movie was a very informative movie for me, I loved the performance of leo here and one of my fav actress Jennifer Conelly! :O

Horrifying, sad and actually, nothing we didnt know or suppose. To feel as if walking in their shoes was traumatic. Di Caprio was excellent. Not enough local music. Smotth americanised production but don't know how it could b better when aiming to be a blockbuster

High professionalism but a tedious sequence of "real events".Di Caprio and Hounsou are stellar and there's a fast,agonizing pace and that's it.

MCT:August 6, 2008

Welcome back leonardo! This movie was.. well great! A sad ending like the old Titanic though with the death of Leo.
Was quite disapointed. I also found his SouthAfrican acsent quite funny! liked it but was kind of fake! but cute i quess. -
MCT:August 5, 2008
I have to admit that DiCaprio is getting better and better. He is doing a great job in this one, even if Hounsou dominate it completely :)

Damn!
All that for a freaking diamond! OK, I know the diamond could've changed their lives for the better, but it just shows how bloodthirsty people can get for these kinds of things.
But it does make us aware of what goes on in this kind of industry and it is sickening!
Djimon Hounsou is a standout in this film and Leonardo was fantastic as usual apart from his ridiculous accent. -
MCT:August 3, 2008Noe to Leo, just because you PLAY a smuggler, doesn't mean you ARE a super cool moster badass dude. you are STILL a pretty boy.
-
MCT:August 2, 2008
This movie was extraordinary and insightful to much of the events taking place in Sierra Leone today. The acting was phenomenal buy Leo and Djimon. This movie was very good... watch out for adult content, Language, and gore violence, but it is a good one to watch. I say See It... or rent it.

Djimon Hounsou great acting... dicaprio was quit good. And the movie goes away from the traditional hollywood way; not too far away of course, it's still hollywood... Good, they are moving foward.
