Review of Gettysburg (1993) by James S — 14 Feb 2009

Absolutely gripping. My only complaint is that it almost romanticizes these battles, with the music and storylines. But, that, for better or for worse, is probably one the reasons its so good. Jeff Daniels is magnificent.

Martin Sheen gives a great performance in my opinion, but many disagree. Sam Elliott plays his part to perfection. All of this helps to overcome Tom Berenger's horribly fake beard.
