I wanted to sleep through the entire movie.

Rating: 2/10 (24 October 2015)

This movie is the most boring large budget movie I've ever seen. It was shot well the acting was great...but nothing happens the entire movie!! The entire movie could have been summed up in a few words, "Slavery was lame so President Lincoln made it illegal". I thought there might be some civil war battles or some type of conflict to show how bad the war was for the soldiers fighting in it but they just show a pile of severed limbs and make Lincolns son cry. While the amendment he was trying to get passed WAS important they way its shot is like watching C-span for two and a half hours. Even at the end *Spoilers* they don't show Lincolns assassination! They show his youngest son watching a play WHILE HIS DAD IS WATCHING A PLAY IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION!! then they say "Oh hey....the presidents been shot..." The point of movies is to entertain people!! I saw this movie because Daniel Day Lewis is one of the best actors to ever live and even he couldn't make this movie watchable. 'There will be blood' was a slow moving movie but it had events in it that made it interesting to watch. If you want to watch a film that's more boring then learning about the civil war in school then this movies for you!!
