Lincoln- Not for all

Rating: 4/10 (26 November 2012)

Lincoln, although a beautiful movie, lacks one thing most movies need now days, action. The film features a lot of talking in rooms. I was really looking forward to learning more about this 'immortal' president but all the focus was on the Emancipation Proclamation. Which, I already had a pretty solid knowledge of. President wanted to abolish slavery, people wanted to keep it. Back and forth and finally, it was abolished. He was shot. That is basically the entire 2.5 hour movie summed up in two sentences.
I did enjoy seeing all the cameos including one from the new boss of The Office, Robert California, but to me, it was pretty boring. I never play with my phone in the movie and I noticed I did it several times (Don't worry, there was only two other people in the whole theater).
I really recommend seeing another movie, unless you either love history (civil war era) or have to see every Spielberg movie.
I'd love to hear what others think, feel free to email me ryanhartford86@yahoo.com. Although I didn't like it, tell me why you did.
