Lost Lincoln

Rating: 6/10 (22 November 2012)

This was an extremely boring movie, and frankly I am extremely disappointed and disgusted, based on all of the media gaga that has been swirling around it and the amount of money that went into making it. As much as I love Obama, how much more could a move hide behind political correctness, and stick to a worn out script that has been shoved down our throats since grade one? And this so called "script" was based upon accused plagiarist Doris Kerns Goodwin's "Lincoln" biography! Shame on Stephen Spielberg for using this source material and for instead not finding historical documentation of what would exemplify the humanity in the characters of Lincoln and his wife Mary Todd. Has anyone ever seen a human Lincoln? Not me (unless I include the one I saw at Disneyland). Spielberg's characterizations in this botched and failed effort were extremely stiff, unyielding and extremely unbelievable. Did we ever see anything in the movie that portrayed any intimacy between him and his wife? For God's sake, we do know that they had sex with and loved each other! And, if I wanted to witness a replication of the exact scenes that took place between him and congress, I would have goggled it, or watched C-Span. It also ticks me off that he had to include his trademark Spielbergian light LaLa in some of the scenes here.....dude, this isn't "ET". What a waste!!!!!! And to not give Sally Field any good scenes in this movie is a crime!!!! Shame, Shame, Shame!!!!!! Note to Academy: do not dare nominate this for best picture, just because it is one of those "awe-inspiring", politically correct and insipid "Ghandi"-esque films that you all just love to adore to cover your a**es for a year of horrible filmy product. Please, please give us all a break this year. Thanks, for we are still all recovering from your inexcusable vomit-inducing hyperbolic cover your a*s* star f**k of last year's most boring movie of the year, "The Descendants"!!!!!!
