Rolling Stone - Peter Travers
Gangs of New York is something better than perfect: It's thrillingly alive.
91
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum
Everything is vast and hugely ambitious in Martin Scorsese's magisterial, scrambled historical epic.
88
USA Today - Mike Clark
If Martin Scorsese's staggeringly ambitious one-of-a-kind finally has too many flaws to be great, it has as much greatness in it as any movie this year.
88
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
Rips up the postcards of American history and reassembles them into a violent, blood-soaked story of our bare-knuckled past.
75
New York Daily News - Jami Bernard
The movie turns choppy in the final third, but it is a monumental achievement nonetheless.
