In your opinion, is the better actor? Are we just now seeing the upswing in Leo's acting that is already established by Daniel? Is it fair to compare the two? Does their work or time period limit their comparison? Is Leo Dicaprio overrated, something inside me kind of says yes.... Also IMHO Gangs of New York is absolutely amazing and relish in both performances given, but especially Day-Lewis's, what an amazing character he brought to life.
IMO Day-Lews is a great actor, one of the best of his generation. DiCaprio on the other hand is overrated. There is no comparison.
DiCaprio isn't bad, he's done some good stuff (quite liked him in The Beach, Catch Me If You Can), but Daniel Day-Lewis - My Left Foot, There Will Be Blood, The Unbearble Lightness of Being, The Last of the Mohicans, In the Name of the Father, The Boxer - there's no competition...
