He will be considered great over time. As his roles mature and he matures.
An example:
Tom Cruise. Cruise wasn't even in the same league as Dicaprio at the same age. But, over time Cruise is now considered a very good actor and probably getting better and better with age (Vanilla Sky, Minority Report).
Dicaprio is certainly a better actor and more accomplished for his age. I think he'll end up being considered great. Not Deniro great. But great.
But, then again, there is The Beach. <_< (Actually, that movie didn't bother me as much as most people. I think it is one of those hate to love it movies for me. Not quite as bad as Joe vs. the Volcano though.)
