Sad Spielberg Disappointment

Rating: 3/10 (28 March 2013)

Great production values, wonderful sets and costuming. Dreadful boring script and ponderous direction. Daniel Day Lewis superb as was all of the cast, but they could not make up for the script and direction. A sad disappointment. Didn't anyone notice that the plot line was ponderous with little or no action scene after scene? Didn't anyone notice that the dialog sounded like quotes from a textbook? Didn't anyone notice that YOU COULD NOT IDENTIFY anyone as a primary historical figure unless you majored in 1860 to 1866 in your history studies? I'm glad the 13th amendment got through the House of Representatives OK, but I would not advise anyone to sit through this bore. gil arroyo
