Worst DiCaprio movie ever

Or worst Eastwood movie:
There's so much to criticize.
There's so much to criticize.
This movie was, first and foremost, incredibly boring.
NOTHING HAPPENED!
Even movies based on history should have some suspense, or at least some believable character development.
The big reveal here: Hoover was a (mostly) closeted, repressed, homosexual.
We are shocked!
If this wasn't filmed in a closet, it should have been: everything looked so dull.
The 'aging' make-up was so bad as to be totally distracting: actors in Planet of the Apes look more realistic.
The interwoven story lines (always a clue that there's no single story worth following on its on) we hacked up then intermingled in a way that made no sense.
Dicaprio's erstwhile grimace looked confused instead of menacing, and one never got any sense of how this tortured soul had such contriol over so many people for so long.
Stay away from this movie.
For more effective characterization, more interesting plot, and more three-dimensional characters, I'm heading to Puss-in-Boots!

Run away from this movie, if you can run faster than Ford's stunt doubles, which should not be hard.
He was old, but no longer cool.
Karen Allen has not aged well: spunky no longer comes in her size
Shia leboeuf can only out-act robots.
the plot was a rehash of a rehash of an x-files episode, and not a good one.
effects were just not cutting edge, and the 'era' was better characterized by Marty McFly and company.
Nothing original for two hours.
Nothing funny for most of that.
a really, really bad movie: some sequels should stay in development. Better Ford becomes Han Solo, retiree for Star Wars 7, 8, 9: The Force goes to Florida
