Stunning American Civil War Epic

Rating: 9/10 (1 November 2000)

Fantastically stunning American epic. I recommend this movie to anyone who has forgotten why America and its people are so great.
Beautiful sweeping cinematography, great acting by the whole cast, one of Mel Gibson's best, well told story - flows smoothly and easy to follow, keeps your interest all the way through (good editing and writing). If I was to search for a criticism, it would be that the patriotic theme might have been over played, and the "bad-guy attacks from the dead" thing is way over used in action movies (but a legitimate and effective tool none the less).
GO SEE IT!
