What happened?

Rating: 5/10 (15 February 2003)

First of all id like to say how truly disappointed I was with this movie. I think Martin Scorses is a great director but this time he finally blew it. This movie, which tells the story of early America in the 18 hundreds, isnt a bad movie, but it also isnt a good movie. Its simply average. Leo de Caprio was just horrible, he defitenatly helped ruin this movie which had so much potencial. His acting was just that bad, I wont even comment on his accent. Cameron Diaz was okay I guess and Daniel day-lewis was great! His performance was truly the best thing in this movie. Martin Scorses did a normal job directing this one, very violent (like most of his movies), but he could of have done a much better job. I guess he got a little overwhelmed with the big budget process and decided to use exaggerated and false scenes than just good and creative ones. Overall $$$ out of $$$$$
