One of the best war films ever.

Rating: 10/10 (7 August 2005)

Glory is definitely the best civil war film ever. The film is top notch on the acting, visuals, realism and story-telling. Also, Edward Zwick sure does know how to make some great and heart-wrenching battle scenes (The Last Samurai as well directed by Zwick has some of the most intense battle scenes I've ever seen). This movie makes you feel for each and every one of the people under Shaw's battalion. In my mind, it is Morgan Freeman's best work (even beating out The Shawshank Redemption).
This is an underrated war film that is as good as some of the well-known greats such as Apocalypse Now, Platoon, and others.
Great movie. Nuff said.
