Title: Gangs of New York
Rating: 2/5

I have just seen this recently, I thought it started off really good, surprised there were so many good actors in it.

I started off liking the good fight at the begining, and Qui gon Jin Died again. Then when the character came back, I liked seeing how all the people who survived the fight at the begining had changed what they beleived in and what would have been great would be if they all came back to the right side.

When It got to the end I felt like the fim could have had a desperatly better storyline.

I was not looking forward to it cos it looked like one of those Americans being all American in the trailer, but after that cool start, it was just too crap and finished really badly.

Leonardo DiCaprio gets headbutted ten or fifteen times though, if thats not worth paying to watch i don't know what is.

That is true, its just a really bad way of getting to it. Why the hell did he take so long to get round to killing him? He had so many chances where no-one was around, and even more when loads of people were around. I Thought the ending was dreadful aswell

BG, sometimes I think you are this guy :(

Haven't seen the film though. Looks a bit ropey despite being a Scorcese film.

I don't think he has been in hardly any good films, but Catch me if you can is not too bad. I can't see why he is supposed to be good looking though

DiCaprio is an ugly, talentless gnome-faced fuck. FACT.

He was good in "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" Because he was playing himself

I thought it was an excellent movie. A lot of blood and gore though.

It was kind of ruined by the whole last 3 qurters of it, with the lack of decent things happening, I just stopped caring then

I think gangs of new york could have been a lot better it tried to do way too much. Leonardo can't pull off the kick ass Irish guy because he's too much of a pretty boy, but Daniel Day-Lewis was pretty damn good.
