Gettysburg

“A very good movie for those interested in American history. It features extensive and accurate depictions of battle scenes and historical details. The film evokes a range of emotions and portrays a certain depth that is quite challenging to capture on the big screen.

However, it’s a bit of a shame that F. Maxwell and the team started with this in the early ’90s and then produced ‘Gods and Generals’ ten years later, providing an alternative view of the war. It feels a bit backward to begin with the final phase of the war and then produce a different perspective on it.

Regardless, in my opinion, it is a highly watchable film. I give it a 9 out of 10 and highly recommend it.”

I try and watch it around the anniversary, July 1-3.

Good epic movie about one of the most iconic battles in American history.

I hate to rip off another reviewer, but I kind of like what Ebert said about this movie. Despite having been to Gettysburg and read a lot about the battle, I learned a few new things about the conflict. The movie was well-acted and Sheen does a fantastic job as General Lee. It is a shame that a few more of these men aren't household names.

An ambitious film. Impressive scope with civil war reenactors involved as extras (the "Making Of..." documentary is an interesting companion piece) Running time is intimidating making it an easier at home watch. The ONE complaint is on some facial 'wig' work that is just too WTF, especially as original photographs are also displayed.

this film romanticizes the south and this battle way too much the American civil war was a tragedy and was brutal way too many emotional speeches the effects aren't very good and the confederates weren't heroes they were traitors and 620,000 men died in the civil war it shouldn't be romanticized it should be remembered the way it actually happened the south stood for slavery and oppression

This is one fantastic Movie!!
