Just a small clarification.
I was by no means passing judgement on Deniro's own intelligence, as a
person. I would never do that because I don't know the man. I am also one
of his biggest fans and I love the guy.
I simply meant, and maybe poorly explained, that I think DeNiro finds his
comfirt zone when he needs to give voice to characters that find it hard to
express THEMselves.

While I agree Deniro makes poor choices in roles
lately, I don't think he's overrated. I saw him
Off-Broadway in Cuba and His Teddybear and he was
brilliant. He studied under Stella Adler and I was
studying under her at the time while going to NYU.
He's a very intelligent man and his parents are
intellectuals as well as his mother being a painter.
When you hear him speak of art, etc. he's quite
eloquent.
Of course, none of this will convince anyone of his
talent or intelligence.
It saddens me the roles that he has been taking
recently are not the ones that challenge him. He's
collaborating with Scorcese again and I'm looking
forward to it.

I think that its not so much that DeNiro is
over-rated, as much as his range
is limited. I honestly think there is a difference.
Some of DeNiro's performances (Taxi Driver, Raging
Bull, Dear Hunter and
more) could only have been achieved by the finest of
actors with the
greatest of talent, but it appears he can only excel
in portraying
characters of complex personality but limited
intelligence.
He's much less successful when tackling a character
of great intelligence
and/or sophistication. An example would be his
performance in Wag the Dog,
which was totally unconvincing, bordering on
embarassing.
In addition to that Deniro has made many poor
choices as to the parts he
accepts. It almost seems he lacks, or does not
exercise any critical
judgement in this department.
