Both excitingly well made and dispiritingly formulaic.
Blood Diamond has all the cinematic punch of a lengthy Nation article.
The whole thing is more Gerald Ratner than Harry Winston.
It doesn't entirely evade the issue at its core - conflict diamonds - in favour of pure action by way of guns and planes, thrills and spills; but it hardly embraces the subject fully either.
DiCaprio proves himself the most watchful and watchable actor of his age.
It succeeds well at what it sets out to do: wrapping a worthy message in a compelling story.
It's clear that Blood Diamond takes quite a while to wholeheartedly get going...
Despite fine performances, Blood Diamond is an unfortunate disappointment due to heavy handed direction which dilutes its message.
Diamonds may be forever, but Blood Diamond hopefully will only last through the Oscar season
After centuries of raping Africa for its resources, now we exploit its misery for our amusement.
Blood Diamond is a movie zircon. It doesn't cut glass, but it cuts plot, character, and credibility. It could be Hotel Rwanda, but instead it's Motel Deep-Six.
Yes, Blood Diamond is preachy, but it's a sermon we need to hear.
i love this movie i cried at the end this is a powerful true movie that you cant help but enjoy, Decaprio is brilliant and does accent brilliantly really powerful entertaining movie that shouldnt be missed!

It's a bit formulaic but the performances of the lead actors (Hounsou and DiCaprio) are great enough to make this film worthy.

DiCaprio, Hounsou and Connelly all shine in one of the best films ive seen in a long time. Just kept me glued to my set the whole time i watched this. This was a great film.
