One of the best movies ever!

Rating: 9/10 (3 September 2004)

I was pleasantly surprised I must say. I didn't expect much out of this movie, but what I got out was a story that was both moving and well told. The acting was very good (with Morgan Freeman doing a most excellent job as usual). Although the special effects were nothing spectacular, it was at least believable. The only bad thing I could say about this movie was that at times it was a little drawn out (for example, the gospel singing near the end of the movie). If you have not seen this movie, I highly recommend that you do, you won't be disappointed. Even if you're not much into the history of the Civil War.
9/10
