well acted but dull movie

Rating: 3/10 (5 April 2013)

First I must say Daniel Day Lewis was dead on & fantastic as Lincoln. The other actors did their jobs but the script was boring, mostly all talk and the film was rushed during important events like the ending where he gets shot. Boothe is not shown nor is the assassination just some dude standing in front of a closed certain telling people the President has been shot & Lincolns kid reacting. The scene is like only a few seconds. Even at his death bed Now he belongs to the ages was rushed. I wanted to feel for Lincoln & his family. I did not. They left out quite a few actual events. Sally Field doesn't even really resemble Mary much because mary was plump, temperamental & Manic depressive more so than whats shown. Great Actors, terrible script & handling of things.
