I really didn't mind Cate Blanchett's overacting, I thought it was really funny and didn't feel obnoxious to me at all. goooolly!

The plane crash scene beats the shit out of cast away. All the flying scenes are beautiful!

4. Cate Blanchett was horrifyingly bad. That was the most obnoxious thing I've seen in a long time.

JB, let me know when you've seen a Katharine Hepburn interview/film/anything that could give you the slightest idea on who she is.

Okay, I haven't seen an entire Katharine Hepburn movie, but I've seen enough to know there's some element of likeability there that's totally absent from Cate Blanchett's character. I've also heard from trustworthy [older] sources that it was a crude impersonation.

And the chemistry between her and DiCaprio didn't work for me at all, maybe because they're both doing impersonations of extreme people.

JB, I think you're so wrong there.

You go right now and watch The Philadelphia Story and pay attention to the chemistry between her and Stewart during the "drunk scene".  It's amazing and hot...it's reflected quite well in the flying scene in the Aviator... it's so classy and sexy all at once.

jeremiah i must agree with regkar here.

cate blanchett overacting? overacting isn't even an issue here. she nailed the part, almost too well, because at times she upstages everyone else in the movie.

I probably haven't seen enough Catherine Hepburn to appreciate her "charm." Cause I saw nothing charming in that performance.

So I guess that means Cate Blanchett didn't do a very good job of "channelling" Catherine Hepburn, at least not enough for an ignorant audience to understand.

Maybe I just don't like Catherine Hepburn.
