Bad movie of book

Rating: 2/10 (18 August 2014)

For most people this would be an good or average movie, but for me it was just bad start to finish, just because, apart from the characters and places, nothing in the movie is like the book at all, and for this reason I think the movie ruined the book. One of Abe's first lovers, was missed out from the movie, which really makes a hole in the plot as she is supposed to change Abe as a character. Further more Abe's mother (in the movie) doesn't speak to Abe in her last moments, the words that compel Lincoln to do what he does.
I know it is hard to show a characters thought in a movie, but it doesn't show his suicidal thoughts after each character's death!
Overall it wasn't a bad movie, but it was a poor movie based on the book.
