If you like Ken Burns you'll love Lincoln - Belongs on PBS......

Rating: Null/10 (4 April 2013)

A factoid crammed documentary disguised as a movie for getting votes on the 13th Amendment to the Constitution. No excitement here pure TV stuff. This looks like a blatant attempt to secure another Oscar for Spielberg (How many to date? 768?)and/or Lewis. Also, Spielberg and company missed a great opportunity to show how the civil war was made to go on for years grinding up the lives of 600,000 youth so the Unions Military Industrial Complex could make billions of dollars off the dead and wounded. Whenever this country has an economic turn down - thats the time to watch to see that we don't go to war to solve it. Argo is a much better movie on all fronts and it deserved the Oscar for Best Movie.
