Golden Door--Great Movie!
Fun, witty, and moving story of Sicilian immigrants and their Ellis Island experience. This movie was terrific! This is not the historical account that you've seen over and over. This family's story is told with a new twist. You'll have a new appreciation for the melting pot of people who built the U.S. after seeing this movie.

YAWN
Visually this movie was wonderful, but the plot was BORING. The characters were underdeveloped, and so was the story. I'm guessing the director was so obsessed with getting historical accuracy that they forgot to develop a plot.

The Golden Door
If you enjoy historical sketches with beautiful cinematography, you'll enjoy this movie. Don't expect to see a blockbuster with lots of action and [BLOCKED WEBSITE]plex story. This is a view of how Italian immigrants decided to come to the U.S. at the turn of the 20th century and the courage and difficulties they encountered in doing so.

Scorsese ?
Martin Scorsese did not direct this, Emanuele Crialese did and it was great.

Not Marty's best!
This movie looks good in the trailer but that's it! They didn't tell us much about the characters. They married and got there, but that's it, end of film. I was expecting more.....
