The most overrated film of the year.

Rating: 1/10 (6 January 2003)

It's hard to believe Gangs of New York was as boring as it was. In the opening scene, an eight year old boy watches his father's brutal murder, and we feel pangs of emotion but nothing more. The rest of the movie doesn't seem to be about anything at all. Unfortunately, it's so violent that you can't really sleep through it. But throughout the whole movie, I just wished Leo would kill the Butcher and let us all go home. The worst part is the length. Almost three hours of nothing.
