Who Went To See 'Lincoln'?
As much as I dislike politics I sat thru this movie and it was well worth it. Daniel Day Lewis owned the character of Lincoln and his performance was worth the price of admission. It is a long movie with very little action but Lewis's character gives the movie a life of it's own.
People were clapping and crying at the end. Not a movie you see without thinking about it afterwards.

Apart from that, how was the play, Mrs Lincoln?

There is a new historical novel out that I started reading about this and it's all about Lincoln recovering, the hunt for the would-be assassins, and the changes in the nation because of all of it.
Got about a chapter in and something else grabbed my attention and I bailed...

I love history, love Doris Kearns Goodwin, and I am finally in the mood to see a movie .
But seeing these promo leads, I see Daniel Lewis not Lincoln. How easily, among you history buffs, can you get used to Lewis as Lincoln? |

Saw it last night. I enjoyed it very much. Lewis is excellent as Lincoln and the likeness is uncanny. The movie is long, but did not drag at all.

Not yet, but it would be hard to top Kris Kristofferson's performance in Tad.

Overall, I thought the film was very good, but it still suffers from some Spielberg-isms that came off as unbelievable and sometimes over-the-top. Also, the screenwriter Tony Kushner's background as a playwright is all too apparent. The dialog is often way too stagey.
