5 out of 5 stars A Little Long but an Impressive Achievement   November 9, 2008
Jason Kyle Richie (Hazard, KY)
"Gettysburg" is a film best watched in parts as it is very long (it needed to be lenghty though). This is one of the most accurate civil war films I have seen and an impressive number of reeactors were used in some of the battle scenes. Picket's Charge is particullarly well filmed as is the fighting on Little Round Top. Not all of the battle could be covered even in this epic and the cavalry battle on July third is excluded. The musical score is very appropriate and the film has a fine collection of actors. Jeff Daniels, Martin Sheen, Sam Elliot, and Tom Berenger portray their characters well and surprisingly, all of these four except Elliot look a lot like the historical figures they are portraying. The other actors generally do a good job as well.
Overall, "Glory" is still my favorite Civil War film as a movie, but "Gettysburg" is superb in its own right and unlike many Hollywood films seems fairly accurate.



5 out of 5 stars Best Ever Civil War Movie   November 2, 2008
Myron A. Skulas (Sylvania, TWP, OH)
This is without question the absolute best Civil War movie ever made. It is beautifully filmed, expertly directed, and features stellar performances by Berringer and Daniels. If you are a Civil War buff, you must have this DVD in your collection.

I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT THE DVD HAD NO IDENTIFYING LABEL ON THE DISC, THOUGH IT CAME IN A BARE-BONES PACKAGE WITH A PHOTO ON THE PACKAGE. IT LOOKED LIKE A BLANK CD!

SOMEONE FAILED TO CATCH THAT ERROR.

5 out of 5 stars A Classic Piece of American and Film History   October 4, 2008
Michael Mandaville (California, USA)
Gettysburg is a stunning film with strong characterization, amazing action and enthralling epic atmosphere. Jeff Daniels does his best film work ever as the Colonel from Maine who does a desperate bayonet charge to stop the Confederate onslaught. That single event held the line. The other actors are stellar, including Tom Berenger, Sam Elliott, and Martin Sheen as Robert E. Lee. I especially liked Richard Jordan (Confederate general Lewis A. Armistead) whose dearest friend was in the Union Army. The heartbreak that Jordan conveys in wanting to see his friend, separated by this war is so palpable that it's just heart renching.

This film is a Must See for anyone interested in America and American History.

The DVD arrived damaged. I returned it for a "refund" which was handled quickly. The movie itself was very good until it would no longer play.
