Roger P. Dec 3 Necessary viewing for any student of the civil war See more thiago s @Thiagostone Oct 31 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more James B Sep 29 Gettysburg brings the Civil War to life like few films can. The epic battle scenes are gripping, but it’s the personal stories—like Colonel Joshua Chamberlain’s bravery—that make it unforgettable. The movie takes its time, letting you really connect with the soldiers and leaders on both sides. For history buffs and movie fans alike, Gettysburg is a must-watch.

It is atonishingly literary, using excerpts line by line from the book (which I read and won the Pulitzer), it recreates the period beautifully, owing much to the reenactors, and the battle scenes, especially the fight for Little Round Top are exceptional. I Iove the scene when Meade arrives and says "Is this good ground, a place to have an army?" and Hancock says , "Very good ground sir, VERY good ground." How often do you see that in war movies? I was stunned to see the first encounter with Buford as to how they fought, firing in line at close range. I saw it in the theater first. I condsider the acting generally very good to excellent. I particularly liked Sheen as Lee and Daniels as Chamberlain. Two observations. The film slants its focus to Shaara's take on Longstreet's oppostion to Lee's plans and if there is one criticism, it spends too much time with the Confederacy and the Confederate"Cause". But overall it is a film I return to again and again as it is so thoroughly well done as an epic. Considered one of the best Civil War films ever made and usually a top ten in military historical films.

See more Cindy R Feb 24 I had ready Gettysburg by Stephen Sears before watching the movie. I enjoyed its focus on the conflict and decisions that where made before and during the battle. There was a lack of Hollywooding the historical battle and turning it into romantic deviations. It stayed pretty close to the battle and the outcomes of the decisions made. See more Read all reviews
