Daniel Day Lewis becomes Lincoln

Rating: 9/10 (23 November 2012)

I thought going into this movie, that it was going to be bio about Lincoln, but it was not quite that at all, Lincoln was a big part of it, but it's more his team, and all the supportive characters seem to have there chance to shine. But it was still a great film regardless.
President Lincoln(Daniel Day Lewis) struggles to end slavery, during the Civil War, with the help of his main crew, he hopes too win in the end, but will he? And his Marriage to Mary Todd(Sally Field) is on the rocks a little, and his son Robert(Joesph Gordon Levitt) wants to fight in the war.
My biggest problem with this film is that Joesph Gordon Levitt was not giving much too do here. Maybe he had a bigger part, but I think his part was toned down, in order to make the film not has long. But still a good film, brilliantly directed by Steven Spielberg, well acted by Daniel Day Lewis, he really gets in the role to the point, you'll forget he's British. Tommy Lee Jones is also good, a scene stealer in spots. Sally Field is also good as Lincolns suffering wife, a possibly Oscar nomination. This film has a great 1865 setting. Although i thought the film was great, it should have been titled something else.
