A very boring movie.

Rating: 1/10 (28 February 2013)

Lincoln is probably the most respectable president in American history. The assassination made him a tragic hero. What a shame that Spielberg failed to make this movie a touching one. Right from the beginning he tried to "tell" the viewers how great Lincoln was from the mouths of two black soldiers. The whole movie is so boring and didactic. A great story was thus wasted. It is full of tedious fights and arguments between parties and politicians.
As a history movie fan, I enjoyed movies such as "king's Speech", "Ghandi" etc. "Lincoln" disappointed me. It is more a propaganda than a drama.
