 "An endlessly fascinating, landmark movie that is as bold as anything the cinema has seen in years."
-- Glenn Whipp, LOS ANGELES DAILY NEWS
"Both flawed and delayed, Martin Scorcese’s Gangs of New York still emerges as his most vital work since GoodFellas."
-- Jeffrey Westhoff, NORTHWEST HERALD (CRYSTAL LAKE, IL)
"Belongs to Daniel Day-Lewis as much as it belongs to Martin Scorsese; it’s a memorable performance in a big, brassy, disturbing, unusual and highly successful film."
-- Brian Webster, APOLLO GUIDE
"After all the expectation, it is surprising how absorbing "Gangs of New York" is as a playing movie, rather than an event or a mark in the evolution of Scorsese's career."
-- Ian Waldron-Mantgani, UK CRITIC
 "Martin Scorsese cria um espetáculo visual que não possui alma - um filme esteticamente belo, mas emocionalmente frio."
-- Pablo Villaca, CINEMA EM CENA
"To better understand why this didn't connect with me would require another viewing, and I won't be sitting through this one again...that in itself is commentary enough."
-- John Venable, SUPERCALA.COM
"Even at a disturbing 168 minutes, the big, bold, bloody “Gangs” and its eloquently quiet ending likely will leave audiences with more goosebumps than scars."
-- John Urbancich, SUN NEWSPAPERS OF CLEVELAND
"An operatic, sprawling picture that's entertainingly acted, magnificently shot and gripping enough to sustain most of its 170-minute length."
-- Lawrence Toppman, CHARLOTTE OBSERVER
"Gangs, despite the gravity of its subject matter, is often as fun to watch as a good spaghetti western."
-- Gary Thompson, PHILADELPHIA DAILY NEWS
"A powerful, compelling and intelligent if imperfect work...a film of enormous ambition which realizes its aims more often than not."
-- Frank Swietek, ONE GUY'S OPINION
"Scorsese doesn't give us a character worth giving a damn about."
-- Christopher Smith, BANGOR DAILY NEWS (MAINE)
"A very good film sits in the place where a masterpiece should be."
-- Gabriel Shanks, COZZI FAN TUTTI CELLULOID MUSINGS
"It's a glorious spectacle like those D.W. Griffith made in the early days of silent film."
-- Dennis Schwartz, OZUS' WORLD MOVIE REVIEWS

"Despite its faults, Gangs excels in spectacle and pacing."
-- Phil Villarreal, ARIZONA DAILY STAR
"A film that suffers because of its many excesses."
-- Jeff Vice, DESERET NEWS, SALT LAKE CITY
"…a big, baggy, sprawling carnival of a movie, stretching out before us with little rhyme or reason."
-- Rob Vaux, FLIPSIDE MOVIE EMPORIUM
"Gangs of New York is an unapologetic mess, whose only saving grace is that it ends by blowing just about everything up."
-- Joshua Tyler, FILM HOBBIT
"It's a gruesome masterpiece, savage and majestic, unbearable and irresistible all at once."
-- Tor Thorsen, REEL.COM
"Take a handful of good-looking actors and dirty them up, add an epic-loving story-telling director and an intriguing revenge-filled story and "Gangs of New York" is the most entertaining movie of the year."
-- Michael Szymanski, ZAP2IT.COM
"There is something heartbreaking about my final conclusion. “Gangs of New York” could have been brilliant. The way it stands now, it is a towering accomplishment, albeit a bit watered down and, tragically, unfocused."
-- Steven Snyder, ZERTINET MOVIES
"This is one of the most visually stunning and thematically moving epics in recent memory, and in spite of numerous minor flaws, Scorsese's best in more than a decade."
-- Silverado, IOFILM.CO.UK
"The best part about “Gangs” was Daniel Day-Lewis."
-- Dan Marcucci and Nancy Serougi, BROOMFIELD ENTERPRISE
"While Scorsese's bold images and generally smart casting ensure that "Gangs" is never lethargic, the movie is hindered by a central plot that's peppered with false starts and populated by characters who are nearly impossible to care about."
-- James Sanford, JAMES SANFORD ON FILM

"The world needs more filmmakers with passionate enthusiasms like Martin Scorsese. But it doesn't need Gangs of New York."
-- Stephanie Zacharek, SALON.COM
"The story's scope and pageantry are mesmerizing, and Mr. Day-Lewis roars with leonine power."
-- Philip Wuntch, DALLAS MORNING NEWS
"A magnificent throwback to an almost vanished era of epic filmmaking by great filmmakers in thrall to their own passions, rather than to the studio bookkeepers."
-- Michael Wilmington, CHICAGO TRIBUNE
"The streets, shot by cinematographer Michael Ballhaus, may be as authentic as they are mean, but it is nearly impossible to care about what happens on them."
-- Kenneth Turan, LOS ANGELES TIMES
"A triumph of pure craft and passionate heart."
-- Peter Travers, ROLLING STONE
"A historical epic with the courage of its convictions about both scope and detail."
-- Susan Stark, DETROIT NEWS
"This is historical filmmaking without the balm of right-thinking ideology, either liberal or conservative. Mr. Scorsese's bravery and integrity in advancing this vision can hardly be underestimated."
-- A.O. Scott, NEW YORK TIMES
"A muddle splashed with bloody beauty as vivid as any Scorsese has ever given us."
-- Lisa Schwarzbaum, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
"The result reverberates on the screen with a deadly force and fury more intense than anything Mr. Scorsese has yet achieved on the meanest and most beloved streets he could imagine or recall."
-- Andrew Sarris, NEW YORK OBSERVER
"For almost the first two-thirds of Martin Scorsese's 168-minute Gangs of New York, I was entranced."
-- Jonathan Rosenbaum, CHICAGO READER

"This is Scorsese's finest work, and one of the best films of 2002."
-- Alex Sandell, JUICY CEREBELLUM
