Great film, One of the best of 2012

Rating: 8/10 (24 November 2013)

Lincoln is such a fantastic film. I don't know if i like it so much because it appeals a lot for me, since that i'm very interested in historical films with super- productions, but anyways, i love it.
It's always fortunate when you can at the same time appreciate, learn a bit and being entertained by a film, and Lincoln guaranteed provides all these elements to the viewer. The stories told by Lincoln, in a great but overrated performance, are really great and entertaining, and i can forgive the fact that they are pretentiously put in the film just to make Lincoln appears as a great and almost flawless 'hero'.
But even better than Lincoln's stories are The Courtroom discussions. This is where the film reaches it's apex, in my honest opinion. It's just fascinating to see Tommy Lee's character prosing and doing his oratory pro- Abolition of slavery. His words are funny and eloquent, just showing how bad-ass he is.
However, i think that Lincoln had an unnecessary final 20 minutes, telling his death and stuff. I mean, there is no point to show his death at all. The film should've ended ten minutes after of the great climax. Unnecessary as well was Joseph- Gordon Levitt character's Robbie, whose importance to this film is irrelevant to the main subject. The music was also disappointingly cheesy and generic. Overall, Lincoln don't appeals to a great audience as the super- hero blockbusters, but can be as entertaining as one of them, if you watch it with the right eyes. 8.2/10
