Well, if you're genuinely expecting a man of thirty-plus to look like he did when he was seventeen... {shrugs}
I'm not unsatisfied by what I've seen DiCaprio do as an adult, by a long shot. His work in The Departed and Shutter Island is mature and gorgeous, IMNSHO; then again, I'm a big fan of what he does in Gangs, which I know is the exception rather than the rule. But then again, I'm a big fan of Gangs, generally, and I don't see him as Leo in that at all, just Amsterdam.
I think I'm aided in this by never having given a shit about him as a kid--Titanic bored me, causing me to sort of skip over him until he finally turned up in something I liked. As opposed to Kate Winslet...but then again, she was already coming off of Heavenly Creatures, so I cut her some slack.;))
