Movie Reviews: Blood Diamond

the film was entertaining and is quite well done. i disapproved of some of the writing (the hardened character Danny Archer (DiCaprio) was far too weak to be believable at times), and I felt that the film was working a bit too hard to make battles dramatic rather than depicting the reality of it.

Finally, it was too long (2h23m!). There were definitely scenes that should have been cut to keep the story on track.

But these are typical hollywood flaws I have come to expect, and I still enjoyed the film.

It was just so silly how chaos would commence right as Solomon was in trouble. For the most part, I gained nothing from watching the film, but I am glad that some people have learned more about the inhumane "business" of diamonds.

its got its flaws, but still LOVED it.  (could it be because there was a certain HOT actor in it who gave a FANTASTIC performance? go jennifer connelly!!! jk.)  leo REALLY shouldve won an oscar for this film! 

Intense movie about the civil war in Sierra Leone which was motivated, in part, by the conflict over diamond mining.
