Great movie few hiccups but none the less a great movie

Rating: 8/10 (19 December 2015)

The movie Glory was a great movie from start to finish. The movie kept me entertained the whole two hours. The only problem I had with the movie was from a historical standpoint;not an entertainment one.
For example, in the beginning of the movie when Gould Shaw was asked to lead the 54th regiment, he without much thought, said yes practically on the spot. When in reality he contemplated his decision for a while before making the decision. Another flaw is when the 54th attacks fort Wagner. They attacked it from north to south when they actually attacked it from south to north.
Another minor hiccup in the movie was when all of the African American soldiers are talking in the tent 4 out of 5 said they were runaway slaves but in reality almost all the slaves fighting in the 54th were born free men from the north. Another example was when they were passing out the guns to the soldiers they said the serial numbers of the guns but they didn't start putting serial numbers on guns until the civil war was over.
But none the less a great movie. If your the kind of person who likes a good war or action movie or even a history buff you'd love this movie. There is action all the way through. Matthew Broderick plays a convincing leader in the role of Gould Shaw.Its hard not to watch a Matthew Broderick movie and not keep thinking Bueller...Bueller but he definitely sells the role here and makes for a great Robert Gould Shaw. And the casting choices in this movie were superb. Denzel Washington plays a very powerful and convincing role the only role that I enjoyed more was his part in training day. And Morgan Freeman what ever role he is in its amazing weather its the Sgt. in glory or big red in shawshank he is just a phenomenal actor. If your searching for a movie to watch I would definitely give this one a look.
