This One Is For The Prose, The Epic & Sheer Amendment!

Rating: 7/10 (27 December 2012)

The most crucial, entertaining and amazing time period in this movie of over 150 minutes is from 110th minute to 130th minutes. Rest is just too lazy. Because if the film starts, it is too lazy to stop.
Day-Lewis has done a wonderful job and I believe this is his best. Sally Field just complements the husband-wife pair. Spielberg chooses to be more of a verbal in this rather than the remaining aspect as compared to his other masterpieces. Music is sharp, screenplay adaptation is better, so is the photography. But, the modern and ancient flaw is to mediocre to find. But it sure grabs some brownie points over the history and research.
Niceties have been taken care of and that is what matters if you are to make a movie on Abraham Lincoln. This is one heaven of cinema! Yet I vote it 7/10 as it lacks pace & matter and has plenty of melodrama.
WATCH OUT FOR: Tommy Lee Jones' amazing performance.
