Once Upon A Time In Hollywood Trailer Reactions: 6 Ups & 2 Downs

1. Leo Is Back

"That was the best acting I've ever seen in my whole life."

It's been four years since Quentin Tarantino released a film but, even worse, it's been four years since Leonardo DiCaprio starred in one. 2015 was the year of The Revenant, which won Leo his Oscar at long last, but the actor hasn't been in anything since then (to be fair, just about anyone would need a break after that shoot).

So it's absolutely glorious to see him back and, not only that, but in a role that looks truly worth of his talent. Whether it's cheesing it up with his dance moves, the egotistical tearing up at the end, or just looking incredibly slick for every other shot, this looks like being another grand entry into DiCaprio's increasingly ridiculous filmography.

The actor already has one Oscar but, even just based on what little we see of him here, he's absolutely going to be in the running for another one.
