Not as Good as the Hype

Rating: 6/10 (23 February 2001)

I believe that Amistad was a good movies with above average acting. However, I was disappointed as I watched in the theater. The movie was slow in many parts. Anthony Hopkins was very good in his role, but besides Sinque was one of the few great parts of the movie. The media hyped this film way too much. It was disappointing in both its plot and historical accuracy. I encourage people to watch this movie, but do not believe the hype. It is a disappointment if you do.
