All right, I need to explain myself.
I used to be a huge DiCaprio fan (albeit a very critical one) until recently. You can probably say I'm a bitter ex-fan now.
Basically, not one of my Leo's favourite performances is in a Scorsese film (except for the completely crazy scenes at the end of the Aviator). I've felt from the beginning that their relationship is based on practicality, not creativity. They desperately needed each other to save one another's careers. They've achieved that long past - Leo has made Martin commercially successful and Martin was Leo's ticket into serious dramatic scripts when it seemed like nothing could save his career.
But on a creative level, they're a disaster. Almost everyone admits that Scorsese movies in his Leo era are not on par with his classics. And Leo acts with a big A in front of his camera and seems to be encouraged in this (Shutter Island interviews) by Martin. Quoting a critic: "Although DiCaprio is never less than engaged, I wonder if the comfort level between this actor and this director has begun to work against both artists.”
