My personal favorite movie/war movie ever. The absolute best.

Rating: 10/10 (13 June 2002)

Why is "Glory" my favorite war movie? Probably because I don't any other war movies. "Saving Private Ryan" and "Pearl Harbor" are good movies but I don't like them. Those movies use to much special and computer fx for my taste. "Gettysburg" is too long, I think it was over four hours long, and just looked boring. "Glory" looked different. I first saw it in my 8th grade history class. Back then I did not pay close attention to it. A year later I saw it in a store and remembered the end. So I bought it and watched it with my dad (I'm 15).This time, which was a couple days ago, I payed close attention to the film and the messages it showed. After that I was hooked. The actors were stupendous.All of them really hit their spots. From Matthew Broderick to Cary Elwes, and from Denzel Washington to Morgan Freeman. All of them got the characters emotions down. You can't forget Andre Braugher and Jihmi Kennedy who portrayed their characters excellently.The music/score is perfect. At the end it almost wants to make you cry. This is now, which I am proud to say, my favorite movie of all time. My previous favorite movie was, get this, a horror movie. It was "Halloween" 1 & 2. "Glory", in my mind, should go down as one of the greats of all time. It should also go down as a true classic. My rating: 10/10
