    Smug and pedantic. Less about Lincoln, more about Spielberg telling himself "what a good boy am I." Totally agenda driven. DDL was EXCELLENT, though.

    "Lincoln" has the appearance of a low budget PBS effort. A poor film, dark small scenes, historicaly inaccurate, slanted to make Lincoln look to be as people imagine and not reality. Too bad many viewers will believe this to be history.

    Exceptionally Entertaining! It's dissapointing that most people on here are negatively calling Lincoln a " borinng, innaurate history lesson!" Sure, it's a little slow, but I still really liked Lincoln anyway!!!

    "It's one of the best films that I have ever seen about a famous historical figure!".I re-watched Lincoln on Bluray about a two days ago and I thought the movie was so incredible. The movie is of course a historical drama flick directed and

    As historically accurate as a movie can be...great political drama, with emotionally moving moments and exceptional performances by DD Lewis and TL Jones. Some slow parts but worth it to watch the higlights
