Saw it, liked it except for two things
a) The violence was so over the top, it almost became cartoonish at times.
b) The ending nearly made me barf, such a fucking cheap attempt at plucking your heartstrings. Scorsese should be shot for resorting to such a cheap tactic.
Other than that it was a good movie, Daniel Day Lewis should win an oscar for this, he carried the movie, DiCaprio pulled off a decent job, I didn't expect much, the accent was too forced but other than that it was a good movie....I am suprised how poorly it did this weekend, I knew it had no chance against LotR, but 4th fucking place? I hope word of mouth helps this movie because other than a few ultimatly minor complaints it's a fantastic movie.
