Best movie I've seen this year

Rating: 9/10 (23 June 2012)

I went into this thinking "Oh no, not another book to movie adaption fail!" But I decided to go in with open eyes and I was SHOCKED! The movie had great acting, an actual story - not filler, excellent special effects and entertainment! Best movie for me by far! A must see!
They didn't mess around with the history too much. They showed Abe as a young boy - briefly. They moved on and showed you the strength behind Abe Lincoln and the family man. Not just the President.
I found the special effects were similar to 300...which I thoroughly enjoyed.
I see that this movie has an average of 6 out of 10 stars. I have no idea why. Critics are rarely right and I think there hasn't been enough feedback from people who went to this movie. I hope the movie gets the proper credit in time.
