評分和評論

Movie designed to be an epic. Acting varies, monologues sometime too long and melodramatic. Scenes, particularly some lasting over 10 minutes of charging (walking toward battle), could have been edited (shortened) and the movie would have been just as good or better. I would probably rate it as 3.5, but compared to much junk today, I gave it a 4. Worth watching.

Best Historical Civil War movie I've ever watched in my life. It shows glory to both the Union and the Confederate, something which is rare for a Civil war movie. Also, a movie which broughts me into a Civil War buff.

By far the best Civil War movie. Manages to stay mostly apolitical and objective despite the divisive topic.
