Excellent and NOT boring at all

Rating: Null/10 (2 January 2003)

I'm really confused by some of the reviews here. It seems one extreme or the other. Let's just say this .... if you are of the type that loved Magnolias or Memento then you'll probably hate this movie. My wife and I hated these films but others loved them. It comes down to personal preference of movies and what you think is good.

It had non-stop action and we were not bored in the least. It's true that character development was weak at best but the depiction of what many in this country endured at the hands of earlier settlers may be uncomfortable for some but regardless, the movie depicted another sad chapter in our history that many would just as soon forget.
Two thumbs up from a person who couldn't stand "Crouching Tiger". Please use this as your guide. Gangs of NY is not fantasy (although don't know if THIS story is true) and many may not like that these things DID happen.

9 out of 10.
