cinematography and play aside - not a movie for all

Rating: 4/10 (27 January 2013)

I have to admit, I was delighted to have Lincoln and broken city premiere last Friday in my home town. my first option was broken city but looking and the IMDb ratings made me go for Lincoln. this turned out to be a big mistake. I don't want to talk about how the actors played or how witty the dialog was or about the golden globe DDL received for his role as Lincoln. I don't live in the US. it was very hard for me to build interest in the movie, for me it was very dull. instead of filming war scenes the director filmed 'round table' strategic war talks that would put to sleep even the most stubborn child. in short, don't be surprised if you attend the movie and realize that the King is 'in the altogether'
