Alicia I love this movie so much
UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
bbhuffstetler Perhaps the title is a bit of a misnomer, as the movie is most focused on the passage of the 13th Ammendment rather than the life of our 18th president, but the movie is gripping none the less. It is relentlessly entertaining watching the maneuvering and postering that took place in order to pass the controversial (at the time, of course) amendment, but the real pleasure of the film is watching the myriad of excellent performances. Daniel Day-Lewis obviously carries the torch there, and not much more can be said about perhaps the greatest actor of his generation, but James Spader, as an eccentric whip, and Tommy Lee Jones, as a "radical" Republican who has long fought for emancipation, are smaller standouts. Lincoln is a great films, even if it is telling a story different than one may think.
danielguin-41017 I attempted to watch it cuz I thought I was going to actually learn something. what I did learn is it's riddled with filth right off the bat using God's name in vain so many times I couldn't watch more than about 10 minutes of it. Wish I never would have bought the movie. So if you have children I wouldn't suggest letting them here this whatsoever.
adonis98-743-186503 As the War continues to rage, America's president struggles with continuing carnage on the battlefield as he fights with many inside his own cabinet on the decision to emancipate the slaves. Daniel-Day Lewis does indeed give a really good perfomance as President Lincoln and the make up is pretty spot on on capturing the likeness of the famous USA President. Unfortunately the film drags alot and the pacing was a pain in my eyes, this film was 150 minutes and despite the great cast and good perfomances the pacing did threw me off from the film. Steven Spielberg's direction is of course brilliant as always but it's still not good enough for me to give this film a fair and share pass. (5/10)
SlyGuy21 I will remember this movie more for Lewis' performance than anything else. While the subject matter is important, and I liked the story, Lewis holds this movie together. I've never seen Abraham Lincoln, but I am 100% convinced that he is on screen in these scenes. The biggest problem the movie has is the length. It's 2 and a half hours, and all talking. Now normally I wouldn't have a problem with this, but I don't understand the passing of Amendments well, so I couldn't really follow some scenes. I stay out of politics anyway, so I don't have a problem with the views expressed by the Confederacy or other characters. I will say I respect what the Confederacy did, willing to go against their family, friends, and neighbors, and dying for a cause they believed in. I don't support their ideology, but I respect them willing to die for something they were so passionate about. Would I see this again, probably not, but I did enjoy it a lot. If you're more familiar with Civil War history, or politics in general, you may enjoy this more than I did.
