Not worth a penny...

Rating: 1/10 (30 January 2013)

It's bad enough that this movie is such a deadly bore but it is also misleading. I suggest people educate themselves about the real Abraham Lincoln. He was not as this movie portrays him. The movie does, interestingly, mention a few of the tyrannical actions committed by Lincoln, but these go unremarked upon (and uncontested) for the rest of the movie.
Daniel Day-Lewis does a top-notch job but I feel compelled to point out that this is my least favorite role of his. I'm disappointed that he chose to come out of semi-retirement to play it. I think even Bill the Butcher was a more positive role model; he was certainly responsible for far fewer deaths.
