Lincoln (2012) - BAD MOVIE
The story deals with the minute details involved in making slavery
illegal; conversations between pompous politicians are endless and dry
and I found it boring. I would have preferred a biography of Lincoln's
life; the nonstop speechifying was tedious in the extreme. None of the
dialogue sounded spontaneous; each line sounded well-rehearsed with the
result that it looks like a filmed play.
Day-Lewis certainly looks the part, but his Lincoln isn't very interesting or charismatic. His soft, high voice is particularly unengaging. For me, the movie was too long and a crashing bore.
