Reviews

danialbazj Altough Daniel Day Lewis is great as ever, big disappointment here is from Steven Spielperg. full with purely notionistic dialogues impossible to understand if you are not a historian who knows it all already. you understand the film after 10 minutes, then follow 2 hours of useless, though with great photography, scenes on nothing, no depth, no contraddiction in characters and above all nothing about turning points. you can skip it altogether.

cricketbat Lincoln may be an interesting film for some, but not for me. I didn't like it. This movie seems like it's nothing more than a vehicle for Daniel Day-Lewis' monologues, with filler lines from other characters in between. People argue, Lincoln interrupts and tells some random anecdote for five minutes straight as the camera slowly zooms in on him, and then everyone else nods after he finishes. Plus, this movie made me see Lincoln as just another egocentric politician instead of a hero. It's too long, it's too boring, and it's too bad that this film made me think less of the real Abraham Lincoln.

Luiz Felipe The film is about the 13th amendment, that is clear, despite the fact that in the trailer we are shown outside scenes, combat scenes, they are not what you will be mostly seeing here. It would be better translated as "the backstage for the 13th amendment", because we see how people are convinced to accept it.Now, something that disturbs me is one of the top reviews (and controversial), even though I believe he is right at some points, such as in the "no sense of space", he truly believed that this film was about Lincoln's life, he was under the impression that he was probably going to see a biographical film, his infancy, his time at the army, probably the years and years he tried to get elected. Nothing explains his misinterpretation of the film for his score, he probably read "Lincoln" and thought "oh this is a film about Lincoln's life", when his expectations were not fulfilled he demolished the film with his review, I don't think a generalised title such as "Lincoln" should make you believing that you would be seeing all about his life, it would be the same as being annoyed when you watch "The Neverending Story" and the film ends, but isn't it "neverending"?

Kingslaay I had high hopes for Lincoln, one of most respected figures in American History. We know there was a lot of material that could be dramatized regarding this great man's life. However I was quite disappointed. The film only focused on a certain part of his life. Now if you direct it with enough finesse and make it captivating then it could be a great film. This has been done successfully with 13 Days about the JFK and the Cuban Missile Crisis. However this period of Lincoln's life was dramatized in quite a dull manner as it followed the legislative hurdle Lincoln faced. It was disappointing to take such a large figure like Lincoln and make a film about his battles with Congress when there was so much more that occurred in his life that was more eventful and entertaining. If one were to make a film today about JFK with the tag line JFK or Kennedy one would expect a more complete and eventful dramatization of his life. We would not expect Kennedy spending most of the film fighting with Congress and observe a 100 days worth of this legislative battle. Therefore it follows that a film called Lincoln or about him should have been more complete and eventful or if it were about a period, choose an interesting period. Congress and political battles are not worth dramatizing. Perhaps the title should have been renamed to 'The Bill' or Emancipation Bill or something specific. Besides the big flaws the acting was very good and DDL deserved an Oscar for his portrayal. 6.5
