Violent nonsensical historical crap

Rating: 3/10 (12 October 2010)

If your going to make a movie about a time in history you should first be able to tell a story, and it should be interesting. This movie made no sense whatsoever, it was just a bunch of scenes which were shot for bloody effect. The characters held no appeal whatsoever. A movie with the magic of making audiences care about the characters being portrayed is truly great. I didn't care whether any of the characters lived or died. I kept waiting for something to happen that would help this movie redeem itself but it never did. It just went from bad to worse and back to just bad again. If you want to watch a truly incredible movie about the gangs of New York, watch The Warriors. By the end of that movie you are "one" with them. You want to be a warrior. The name Scorcese associated with this movie has caused it to be way overrated. Mr. Scorcese you should be getting better at your craft but your not, your movies just keep getting worse. Overrated lousy piece of crap.
