Excellent filming, poor interpretation

Rating: 5/10 (13 December 1998)

I must admit that some of the battle scenes were so breath-taking riveting and well-crafted, my eyes were completely glued to the set as I watched everything unfold. However, I must agree with a previous post that the cast did a pretty POOR job interpreting the men that bore colors of blue and grey. That ended my fascination there when everyone started to talk. It appeared to me that the directors and producers wanted to glorify the battle even beyond and that is a total thumbs down. If you're looking ot see a Civil War movie, try "GLORY" instead and skip this.
