Anyone seen "Lincoln" yet? - Page 1

Not yet, but I'm planning to. It received lukewarm reviews from  the "Tampa Bay Times" critic, but he doesn't seem to like many domestic films; prefers films with dubbed narrative. He belittled the actors' makeup and wigs, especialy Tommy Lee Jones and said it was too stuffy. Whatever, I'm still going to see it.

I do like the cast.
haven't seen it but did see the interview

I've heard lots of comments criticizing Day-Lewis'  interpretation of Lincoln's voice -- but if contemporary accounts are correct, he was right on target, Lincoln was said to have a high-pitched, "reedy" voice.  As a professional historian, I am looking forward to the movie but will wait until I can get it thru Netflix . . I hate movie theaters, they are so dirty, closed air systems, junk on the floor, etc.  Would much rather watch at home in my "jammies" with a glass of wine!

Well,went to see "Lincoln" last night and was proved wrong.Daniel Day Lewis was superb in the lead role,suggest he makes room on his sideboard for that 3rd Oscar.The casting of Tommy Lee Jones as Thaddeus Stevens, the radical Republican, was also inspired, as was the choice of Sally Field to play the First Lady.
The negatives,film was too short for my liking,could have done with another 60 or 90 minutes.Also,Lincoln's pre Civil War views on slavery were not mentioned.
Nevertheless,a worthy effort by Spielberg.
To balance Spielberg's account of Lincoln I will read DiLorenzo's,"The Real Lincoln" and see how the two compare!!!
