Scorsese does Disney

Rating: 1/10 (19 January 2003)

By far and away Martin Scorsese's worst film. However, he's such a great director, I'll forgive him. This was history by Disney and if he'd backed off and not tried to make an epic history film it could have been OK. He should have narrowed down his canvas to a much smaller one and concentrated on just a fwe characters. But he tried to stuff the whole history of New York into a simplistic storyline. The characters weren't believable and Daniel Day Lewis did a remarkable job with terrible materaial. Put this down to experience Marty and promise never again to do history - leave it to Disney.
