 Perfect blend of history, human nature and drama
Underrated by most of the people, this film may lack everything but seriousness. Scorsese managed just flawlessly to incarnate in the performance of each personage a very real human passion and also developes the entire story sorrounding this passions and natures. This picture shows that part of the History that school and studies try to hide and gives you the fact that History not always was build with the most sublime and beautiful feelings of the human being. Despite this argument I most say that Daniel Day-Lewis is just at his best, but maybe the strong themes and topics of the movie and its development hurt the fragility of the ones in charge to tell the prizes. However this picture talks by itself without the recognition of the so-called Academy and so on.

 Scorsese delivers the goods!
Finally you had a good reason for going to the movies and walk away satisfied. The rest of the new movies pale in comparison with "Gangs Of New York" which surely must rank with his best works. The cinematography is out of this world with Scorsese using full-scale sets almost making things larger than life. This is clearly evident in the opening scene, which only goes to show what a genius Martin Scorsese really is. The camera work with long scenes in one shot, tense action, a vibrant dialogue that shifts between being hilarious and ominous, and the soundtrack are things that make this film such a wonderful spectacle. You'll laugh and feel very uneasy at the same time. Not at all a bad trait for a director of Scorsese's caliber! Daniel Day-Lewis delivers his best performance ever - playing Bill(The Butcher) Cutting - and outrageous character. Cameron Diaz is okay, and even though you might think, that a ham like Leonardo DiCaprio is miscast in the role of Amsterdam Vallon, has he made anything else that's worth mentioning so far? John C. Reilly as a corrupt police officer is another gem in this unforgettable movie. When you watch this movie the second or third time, you'll begin to pay attention to the funny dialogue and all the details you didn't see or hear the first time. We are indebted to Martin Scorsese for it.

 Awesome movie with good performaces.
Gangs of New York was like one of the greatest movies I saw. C'mon, look at it. The riots are awesome in this movie. But I know it stinks when you have to change the disc because the movie is 167 minutes. So that equals 2 hrs and 47 minutes. Daniel Day Lewis was outstanding as the evil gangster Bill The Butcher. I mean it. He like stole the show. Leonardo DiCaprio did a real good job too. I would like to say that Gangs of New York is one of those movies you really have to pay attetion to of what's happening in 1863 New York and The 5 Points. I know some of you saw the beginning and you thought it was rough. Well, guess again. That's what happens in The 5 Points. Overall, I'll give this movie... Dos pulgrates arriba!

 Scorsese Is God
This movie is amazing, I'm so glad Scorsese is making movies with DiCaprio now, Daniel Day-Lewis is an incredible actor and helps make this movie as great as it is. Thank You Martin Scorsese for being born.
