a good friend of mine recommend this movie to me and since we be both in history at university i think i would give it a shot . the beginning of the movie i be really interested and fill with action and a sense of revenge for the main character . however and it just start go downhill from there . i find that there be too many useless character that bring little or no addition to the plot . most of the film be fill with uninteresting dialog and plot twist . in all honesty and this movie should not have be over 2 hour long . i just find that there be too many scene that need to be shorten and get to the point . overall and gang of new york seem to drag on and on . while the cast be excellent and the acting be amaze the story be just awful . after the first hour of the film and i find myself not connect with the character and hence become extremely boring . film which be push a 3 hour time span should keep the audience entertain with character development and action and and story . however gang of new york seem to fail at all of these except bore the heck out of me . i would much rather watch pearl harbor than gang of new york .
