I think the lack of shouts on this page speaks for itself :). Personally I didn't enjoy the movie that much. The much praised Daniel Day-Lewis does indeed give a solid performance but that was basicly the highlight for me. The movie is well made and it has it's moments but given it's length I've found quite a lot of things irritating so I'll stick it a 6.

As for things that I didn't like:
- The score was often too distracting or tried to convey an uplifting feeling which was totally uncalled for.
- The opening scene already set the tone: Lincoln is a hero.
- The subplot with JGL should not have been in the movie (the family drama was maybe a bit misplaced as it is more about the 13th Amendment anyways).
- Lee Pace's character was almost a cartoon villain.
- As for Lee Pace; they should have casted some lesser known actors as congressmen. Having familiar faces there was rather distracting.
- Abe's countless anecdotes just sweep the people over. I don't know how much of this is known from history but this felt rather cheesy (and they repeat this multiple times..).

So yeah, I was a bit disappointed given it's positive reviews but maybe there is the factor that I'm not American :)...

The film is a bit too cheesy and romantic for me. They try to convince me that Abe was the superhero of his time, but there are a lot of darker sides about this President. Spielberg tried to hard putting sidestories in the movie, but failed to deliver rich content. The relationship with his family was just not 'real' enough for me. What a shame.

BoriNg !

This was a good movie with some excellent acting by many to include Daniel-Day Lewis. I am not sure how accurate it was in its entirety, but this movie was not all that I had thought it would be. Don't get me wrong, it was very good just not as good as I thought it should have been being that we are dealing with arguably the greatest President in American History.

Loved it. Yes it is pretty long for a hollywood movie. But considering I am from India, it was not that big of an annoyance for me. Brilliant acting by Daniel Day-Lewis. Has to be the best work of Spielberg in a long long time now!

This movie is VERY boring and lacked any build up of tension
I really tried to like it, but the story is so slow-paced... I almost fell asleep!
I gave a 7, but just because of DDL solid performance.
