The most boring film of the year!

Rating: 4/10 (18 January 2013)

I had HUGE hopes for this film. I was very excited for the Lewis/spielberg combination and the critical debate about slavery and its consequent abolishment. However, the way this movie was presented was extremely boring given the huge potential in subject matter. Lewis gave a good performance, expected as usual, but it was very far from saving the huge failure of this movie. I honestly cannot fathom how in the world this got nominated for Best Picture when it is clearly one of the worst movies made in the past year. I am sick to death of movies made in relation to significant historical events being given good feedback when the movie of itself was very poorly executed.
Avoid at all costs!!!
