How big a part does DiCrapio play?

The film has gotten great reviews - the best for a non-children's film this year, it seems. So for the first time in months I'm interested in going to the theater. (Last film I saw in the theater was the dreadful [i]Avatar[/i], in headache-inducing 3D CameronVision.) Two concerns though:

1) I hate DiCrapio and his baby face. He's always going to be the non-threatening teen girl heartthrob "Jack Dawson" from [i]Titanic[/i] for me. Every subsequent film I've seen in him ([I]Gangs of New York[i/], [i]Aviator[/i], [i]The Departed[/i]) he seems too young and too much of a lightweight to pull off the part he's playing. I can't take him seriously. Plus, he's a far poorer actor than critics give him credit for being.

2) This being a Nolen film, I'm concerned the film has an irritatingly incessant underlying musical soundtrack that makes dialogue hard to hear.

Can you suggest whether my fears of a bad night at the theater based on the above are unfounded?
