Good movie with a good point - take away the good point and its still a good movie.

Its got a lot of good action but the story is real reason to watch it over again. There's a lot of power in the drama it lays out for you and its hard not to get sucked into the character development because you know that this was actually happening.

This movie has so much presence - one of the one's you're still thinking about after its done.

Blood Diamond.. How should I start?
BLOOD DIAMOND was a movie that could have touched the hearts of anyone who watched it, and it was slightly educational. It made us aware that something like this was happening. It was also a violent movie physically and verbally, if you catch my drift.

I thought this movie was one of the best movies I've seen in a while, and I would love to see more like this. It put us in the shoes.. or feet of the people in Sierra Leone and let us see how it is like to have your hands cut off even just for hiding the smallest piece of diamond imaginable. The blood diamond business is cruel.

Also not to forget the child Dia Vandy and Solomon Vandy. Solomon is struggling to find Dia and once he does, it's not a pretty sight.

I thought this was a great movie and I look forward into seeing it again. If the Blood Diamond trade is still going on.. I hope that it ends and no one will ever have to experience something as horrible as that again.

Definitely a good movie. It tells a chilling tale of what went on back then and STILL goes on now in Africa, with those child soldiers. good acting allround. DiCaprio was good with the South African accent, which was convincing enough, aand very...

Definitely a good movie. It tells a chilling tale of what went on back then and STILL goes on now in Africa, with those child soldiers. good acting allround. DiCaprio was good with the South African accent, which was convincing enough, aand very emotional scenes between Djimon Hounsou and his son added greatly to the quality of the movie, as well as the surprising ending.

I loved Blood Diamond. I bought the dvd and I still love Blood Diamond. Blood Diamond is a good movie with plenty of good performances especially from Leonardo DiCaprio who channels his character brilliantly and is the best reason to see this film. Hounsou plays his character well too and you really feel for him and his family. Jennifer Connelly plays her character with emotion and understanding even though she basically is the movies conscience to make sure that you aren't buying a conflict diamond that was used to fund a war in Africa. The script is pretty good but, there are some parts to this movie that drag on a bit more than they should have. DiCaprio acts well together with Hounsou creating almost a bond but, only near the end does he realize the truth. The love relationship is done decently and I thought the end could have been different but Leo dies nonetheless. The direction is done well by Zwick and the action is very good. You should see this movie. However, whether or not you'll agree with it's message is entirely up to you.
