D B. @Honor Jun 26 Remarkable movie considering its age. Yes it is flawed , but still remarkable See more Jacqueline R @Ovate1019 Jun 22 Critics gave this a 91% but the mario movies a 59% and a 42% See more Elliot K @valos Jun 20 Going into this I knew it was old, I knew it was offensive. I was also under the impression it was groundbreaking technologically. And, I'll admit, the first act did manage to maintain my focus in a way that's very impressive for a 100+ year old 3 hour movie. The second act, however, was so awful I could barely stay awake through it. The drivel propagated by Griffith is so horrible it cannot make up for any of the filmmaking tricks he "created" with this movie. (As for how much Griffith actually created and how much he made up is covered interestingly in an everyday cinephile article I highly recommend). Nevertheless, the first half was engaging, second half fell apart, 2.5 stars. Somehow I hit a profanity filter with this and had to edit myself. So, take this with a grain of salt.

Sin embargo me costó bastante terminarla. Puede ser por el estilo, la época, o el contexto. Sin embargo reconozco que toca temas sensibles, y hasta interesantes, aunque pueden llegar a ser delicados para ciertas personas. Pero varias de las situaciones que nos muestran van hilando una historia llamativa, aunque desde mi punto, no deja de ser pesada para ver. No es mala, todo lo contrario, es buena y se nota el avance del cine de ese entonces en el punto de esta película. Solo que en lo personal no terminé de conectar del todo con ella.

The attempts to tell a large, sprawling Civil War story should get some credit, but you must hold your nose in the process. Watch for technical prowess, ambitious battle scenes only See more Read all reviews
