Was Jessica Chastain really that spectacular?

her yelling seemed to cover for the fact she didn't really know what she was talking about, what,
exactly
, to put emphasis on. she'd yell an entire paragraph! this didn't make her character seem 'intense'. it made her seem like a loon.
The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity. -

I agree with the OP on this one. Jessica Chastain is a good actress but her role in ZDT wasn't mind blowing. In fact, nothing about the film was particularly spectacular, though that's a whole other thread..Anyway, personally I think that most of the hype surrounding Chastain's performance in this film came from the fact that she's one of Hollywood's "It" girls at the moment.

I could not stand her, worse part of the movie. Felt like a very fake and forced portrayal and just going for a "girl power" theme. She is just like those overly "serious" "no nonsense" cliched female characters in CSI shows, Bones, Castle, etc. Corny, in reality the woman she is portraying to not play anywhere near as big of a role of finding Bin Laden nor did she act anything like that.

I felt the same way about Jennifer Lawrence too. Jennifer and Jessica have quickly become two of my favorite actresses. Jennifer did a good job in Silver Linings Playbook and Jessica did a good job in Zero Dark Thirty, but neither of their performances were Oscar worthy.
