Not very good, fair at best.

Rating: 3/10 (12 July 2003)

The movie made me think of 'Hook' with Dustin Hoffman. The children had all grown up and no one was fooling around anymore. This movie was a real fantasy. I can't complain about the acting. The actors all played their rolls quite well, especially the Bill the Butcher character.
The story was just ridiculous. The scenes were just too fantastic. It just didn't resemble reality to me in any way at all. If this was supposed to depict American history, I don't think it was done very well.
I think it was too big a production with too many hands in the mix. It ended up a big mess. I couldn't rate this more than 5 out of 10. I'm surprised that the overall rating is as high as it is.
