NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

danielguin-41017 I attempted to watch it cuz I thought I was going to actually learn something. what I did learn is it's riddled with filth right off the bat using God's name in vain so many times I couldn't watch more than about 10 minutes of it. Wish I never would have bought the movie. So if you have children I wouldn't suggest letting them here this whatsoever.

cinemajesty Film Review: "Lincoln" (2012)Entirely built on Daniel Day-Lewis out-standing performance as the 16th President of The United States Abraham Lincoln (b. 1809) in office from 1861 to 1865 under the most violent Civil War with more than 500,000 soldiers deaths over differences in the way of living between "The South" and "The North", when Academy-Award-Winning director Steven Spielberg summons up the horrors of the independence aftermath in one fulminate shot of a puddle-drowning soldier with an opponent's foot in his face in the striking opening scene for "Lincoln" that then delivers a historically-accurate biopic picture for the ages written by playwright Tony Kushner, who had been sharing the script for "Munich" (2005) with DreamWorks Pictures, igniting on plenty dialogue for literally transforming vocal strings by Day-Lewis in ultra-stark, atmospheric as darkness-striving cinematography and dust and smoke pooling production design to indulge on.Director Steven Spielberg brings passion and skills to the project that paces through a fairly-receivable 140-Minute-Editorial by long-term "Team Spielberg" member Michael Kahn, who then utilizes the elegant visuals conceived by cinematographer Janusz Kaminski in scene-covering Spielberg-signature, shot-combining manners coming from a master-director's hand, whose only flaw has become to shy away from physical violence towards the second half of this highly-dramatic picture on a legendary as biographical-romanticized character of "Lincoln", when 12 Academy Award Nominations at the 85th edition of the Oscars Ceremony in February 2013 are righteously-earned, but can only be translated in two wins for the Leading Actor Daniel Day-Lewis and utmost authentic production design by Rick Carter due to a highly-competitive season, where pictures as "Life of Pi" directed by Ang Lee and "Django Unchained" directed by Quentin Tarantino just had been daring more in their individual film-making executions."Lincoln" must be enjoyed several times to fully comprehend its glory with a sublime supporting cast ranging from James Spader as votes-hunting, scenes-owning character of B.N. Bilbo, Sally Field as close-to a nervous breakdown wife Mary Todd Lincoln, Tommy Lee Jones as reptile-looking Thaddeus Stevens and my personal favorite scene of meeting heart-breaking Jackie Earle Haley's interpretation of historic Southerner Alexander Stephens, when Southern surrenders are nigh in a slowly-received second half of this unless railroading empathetic motion picture, when audiences must realize that fighting for a cause as abandon slavery has only one winner that is the people. © 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

SlyGuy21 I will remember this movie more for Lewis' performance than anything else. While the subject matter is important, and I liked the story, Lewis holds this movie together. I've never seen Abraham Lincoln, but I am 100% convinced that he is on screen in these scenes. The biggest problem the movie has is the length. It's 2 and a half hours, and all talking. Now normally I wouldn't have a problem with this, but I don't understand the passing of Amendments well, so I couldn't really follow some scenes. I stay out of politics anyway, so I don't have a problem with the views expressed by the Confederacy or other characters. I will say I respect what the Confederacy did, willing to go against their family, friends, and neighbors, and dying for a cause they believed in. I don't support their ideology, but I respect them willing to die for something they were so passionate about. Would I see this again, probably not, but I did enjoy it a lot. If you're more familiar with Civil War history, or politics in general, you may enjoy this more than I did.

ajourneywithjake As a history fan, I found this film to be very enjoyable. A lot of attention to detail was put into imparting the feel of the Civil War to this film and it really shows in terms of quality. I also greatly enjoyed the political debates and arguments, which were brought to life by the excellent performances of the actors and actresses. Not only are these events and arguments an integral part of American history, but they resonate today and still have great impact. The main characters are very enjoyable to watch, having great emotion and vibrancy to their portrayals of historical people. Lincoln alone is a perfect portrayal and has many amazing scenes and speeches. I also found the locations to be excellently created and the cinematography to be perfect. While it might be low on the action side of things for action fans, it still is a very powerful film.You can read this and other reviews on my blog at https://ajourneywithjake.wordpress.com/
