Really? My roommate said he really liked it but it looked pretty uninteresting to me

Well made movie, but I was disappointed. The previews and title made it seem like it was going to be a deeper portrayal of Lincolns life...not a debate about the 13th amendment. I guess that was my fault though.

If you go in knowing exactly what it is about, then you will appreciate the acting and how well made it is.

I'm more interested in the assassination and ensuing manhunt than listening to talks about the 13th amendment. Had high hopes, but definitely waiting for video after hearing reviews.

Thanks, that is what I have been hearing. I heard they didn't even show the assassination.

I thought the actual politicking and maneuvering to get the votes were the best part of the movie, as well as all the scenes on the floor of the Senate.

I thought all of the Lincoln family stuff was wasted crap, and the ending was weak. The movie is about the 13th Amendment and its passage, going through the assassination off screen was silly. The movie shouldn't have even touched on it. End it at passage, or Appomattox or something The last 25-30 minutes were superfluous.

I just saw my Lincoln log

and I give it a higher rating.

Very moving, threw tissue on it.

Kind of didn't want to flush it,

sort of like an old friend.

I saw Lincoln with my parents on a Monday night in December. My parents and I enjoyed the movie. I burned the movie to a dvd and gave it to my grandfather for Christmas. I have the movie downloaded on my computer.
