The movie is pretty good. It definitely reeks of "epicness", and is a bit more over-bloody and theatrical than it really was, although the place was no Disneyland. The best part of the movie, by far is Daniel Day-Lewis' Bill "The Butcher" Cutting. Although you might say he's reaching a bit and over-acting, I think it gives his character that old-time feel a bit more and definitely solidifies him as one of the greatest villains of the decade, in my opinion. The worst part, is Cameron Diaz. Not great acting, but even moreso, her part seemed completely unnecessary. She seems to be in there only to provide a love interest for the main protagonist (DiCaprio) and a link between the the main stars. Yawn. The rest of the movie is okay. Over-blown, but definitely interesting and fun. Lots of good, lots of bad, lots of ho-hum equals about 3 stars.
