They really captured some of period flavor.
The Tammany (HALL) Society really was that bad.
The politics and elections were really that corrupt.

The recuitment of Irish immigrants right off the boat was spot on.
"Sign here and your a citizen."
"Sign here and your enlisted."
"Now go serve your country, son."

The early parts were good, its just near the end it came up really wishy washy, like Scorsese was trying to throw it lots of historical footnotes. Its like he had a enough stuff for a couple of interesting movies with well developed plots and characters but tried to roll it into one big movie that just came out flat.
