A Big Bloody Boring Mess!

Rating: 2/10 (27 March 2003)

Some reviews call GONY a throw back to an old style cinema ala Cecil B. DeMille. I say throw it back period - this film is totally fake - fake sets - fake history and the worst acting i have seen in a major motion picture. Fake blood lots of it. I searched in vain to find something to like about this film - Scorcese has certainly made better movies than this - the same could be said of Stanley Kubrick whose last movie was also a disappointment. Kubrick used a fake New York made in England & Scorcese made a fake New York in Rome. the result is more like a bad Mad Max movie or a deranged opera. Without the music.
