Well I enjoyed the movie, I don't think it was the best this year but it was good. Daniel Day Lewis and the Kill Bill Trailer were worth the price of admission alone. I also think Leo DiCaprio gets far too much crap tossed on him. He's not that bad an actor it just seems that whenever someone does a hugely sucessful movie everyone has to shit on them. So you didn't like Titanic and think it didn't deserve to make 2 billion dollars and you think hes too "pretty". Go watch This Boy's Life or What's Eating Gilbert Grape if you think hes a bad actor. Anyhoo I think he did his job in the movie, but Bill the Butcher was just too powerful a character that he overshadowed Leo's character. But then Bill the Butcher (Daniel Day Lewis' character) pretty much put everyone else in the movie to shame. That was the point though and it worked well.

It did move a bit slow, and the opening scene was very gruesome, but this is a Scorsese film. This is the guy that put someones head in a vice and crushed it folks. I think people need to realize that this isn't just a revenge movie, its a bit more than that. And it was a history lesson in part as well, I didn't know about the draft riots that took place during that time.

Anyhoo, I enjoyed it but it isn't for everyone.
