Surpassed all my expectations!

Rating: 9/10 (12 February 2004)

"Glory" is definitely one of the best movies to come out of the 80s and might just be one of the top 10 or 20 war movies ever. I was tempted to give in to my critical nature and only give 9 out of 10, but the ending was too unforgettable that I have to give this one a 10. I don't usually give 10 out of 10, but there was just something about "Glory" that stuck with me. A few things for example: (1) James Horner's score was freaking incredible. Maybe his best besides "Braveheart" or "Aliens" (2) Denzel's performance, of course (3) Matthew Broderick's surprisingly great performance and (4) the shocking unhappy ending. Stuff like the fake facial hair and the accents were somewhat bothersome, but overall, they can't take away from how awesome this movie is.
10 out of 10
