Saw it this afternoon. Interesting depiction of the early days of the Father of Our Country, from his time being raised by his half-brother, Lawrence, thru his combat experiences in the French and Indian War.
Good performances throughout and a high quality production. I can highly recommend it for this 4th of July weekend.

Didn't the Irwin Brothers and Angel Studios do that?

Accurately shows the ambition he had was met with heavy failure that started a global war. Followed by his redemption at the Battle of the Monongahela.
They did change the story of his relationship with Sally Fairfax to fit a love story angle in the movie. George was 16 when Sally was married. They make it look like she’s unmarried when George first meets her. There are many letters he wrote to her when she was already married though.
I wish there would have been a ~1 minute scene with a young Daniel Boone who was a wagoner on Braddock’s expedition to Fort Duquesne. But overall I thought it was great.

How does it compare to John Adams?
Until something better comes out, that'll be the benchmark in telling the story of the forming of the nation.
Looks pretty good and with an impressive cast.
But Animal Farm still leaving a bad taste in the mouth... ooof.

I saw it last night, and thought if was very good. It was well made with good acting, particularly by the British actor who played Washington. It definitely leaves you wanting to see more when the film comes to its end.

Just got out. Surprisingly good. Theater was packed. It would be hilarious if it beat out Super Girl. Not sure they have it on enough screens though.

It made $ 7.6 million yesterday.

That’s the tough part. Because after they take the abandoned Fort Duquesne and make it back to Virginia Washington resigns. Doesn’t put a uniform on again until the Revolution.

Caught the matinee today. Overall enjoyed it a lot and left me wanting more. Glad to see a sequel in the works, but it needs to be like 4 hours.
I don’t know if it will ever be done, but Washington deserves a well produced 15-20 hour miniseries. I mean he’s the most important person in American History.
I want more on his relationship with Lawrence, his attempts to become upper class, more surveying, marrying into upper class, life on Mount Vernon, which got financially dicey a couple of times, slowly becoming political, then obviously the Revolution, relationship with Lafayette, Presidency, and death.
