I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

This film is the most moving war film I have ever seen. This is the only war film where the men who died won what they fought for. They died respected. They died knowing every one of them was a hero.

Glory was an absolutely amazing movie to watch. I was blown away at how historically accurate many of the scenes were and how it matched up with what I learned in my US history class. (For example, the refusal of the men to accept a lower pay than white soldiers.) It was definitely an emotional and moving movie to watch. The way that the battles and other events were filmed, plus the added phenomenal music choices truly makes one feel for what is happening on screen. I had the ability to sympathize with men of the 54th Regiment, as well as Colonel Shaw, who was trying to overcome his own personal battles while fighting for what was the best for his own men. What really blew me away was at the final battle scene at Fort Wagner, which showed just how much the men of the 54th were devoted to the Union, their comrades, and their leader; and were willing to make the ultimate sacrifice in honor of their country, even though they weren't even treated equally to their white counterparts. The most moving part was how Colonel Shaw made the ultimate sacrifice, and ended up being laid to rest along the men whom he gave everything for.

Glory is a powerful film about the 54th Massachusetts Regiment who fought bravely for the Union during the Civil War. Raw emotions are shown in the film through the wonderful acting of Morgan Freeman and Denzel Washington and at times it is easy for the viewer to lost him/herself in events of the film. It is truly a unique film in this sense. This film however, is not 100% historically accurate as it portrays the black men as fugitive slaves when in reality they were primarily free black men. Nonetheless, the patriotism, bravery and glory displayed by the Regiment in this film something, that in my eyes, have made it one of the best movies I have ever seen.

A great depiction of one of the most important regiments of the Union Army. With many aspects of historical contexts, it seemed very realistic to the Civil War. A great cast of the always great Denzel Washington and Morgan Freeman along with a great portrayal of Robert Shaw by Matthew Broderick fit the movie very well. This was a very different view of Broderick for me as I am used to seeing him in much less intense movies such as Deck the Halls, but it just shows his brilliance as an actor.A very interesting part of the Civil war, the 54th Massachusetts Regiment being the first African-American regiment, which isn't too well known being the focus makes for a very appealing movie.
