Not too bad

Rating: 7/10 (4 January 2015)

Overall, the movie had many factual errors and held significant bias. At many points, the Union was portrayed as fighting for equal rights for African Americans, while many were actually fighting for peace and unity within America. There were also historical mistakes regarding the point in time that the Civil War took place, such as too many stars on flags and incorrect currency. Although errors were displayed, Gettysburg depicted history with great detail and was closely related to the real event. It took its time to get to the point, which is both helpful with information and incredibly boring. There were points that were exciting and ones that seemed more like a lecture or watching paint dry. It was worth the watch though!
