Movie will win awards, but just okay!

Rating: 6/10 (7 December 2012)

Lincoln is just an okay movie. Here is the good and the bad of Lincoln. The good: Lincoln had excellent directing, acting, and the sets were outstanding. One experiences the feel of the times for Lincoln. What I experienced from Lincoln is Washington has not changed at all from 1865 to present. The movie is full of political corruption, bribes, trickery, and lies. The bad: The movie should have been called how to get an act passed through congress. Lincoln is a drama with too much dialogue. I thought there was going to battles, and information on the conspiracy and assassination of Lincoln and was disappointed. I thought Lincoln would be closer to Bill O'Reilly's book. Lincoln is a long winded movie, but made well enough just to be okay. I give Lincoln a six out of ten.
