biggest waste of $8 and 3 hours of my life

Rating: 2/10 (15 April 2003)

i actually didnt plan on seeing this movie, but my sister dragged me to the theater were we both awaited a great disappoinment. i'm amazed that i hated this movie. i love to study history, simple as that. the only reason i gave this movie a two was because daniel day lewis was superb, and the setting and feel were good. otherwise... i was amazed at the violence. i compared the violence of this movie to that of saving private ryan.
compared to other long movies such as fight club, lord of the rings and saving private ryan, i was intrigued and interested the entire time. with gangs of new york i was wondering where the movie was going and when it was going to end.
on a side note, other than "whats eating gilbert grape," has leonardo dicapro not had sex in a movie?
