Cheex Incarnate Posted July 17, 2003 Report Posted July 17, 2003 Me, well I loved the movie. But my opinion is a tad biased based on the facts that A) I cream my pants at the sight of Robert Duvall, and B) i've been genuinely interested in the Civil War for a few years. I own the Gettysburg DVD already (god, i hate flippers), and I will pick this up soon. The four hour movie is a trial to sit all the way through and watch, but overall I still thought it was a beautifully made film. Any thoughts (braces self for onslaught of smarks hating the plodding, war movie ) -Cheex
Guest Lord of The Curry Posted July 17, 2003 Report Posted July 17, 2003 Isn't this movie like 4 hours long?
Guest Kahran Ramsus Posted July 17, 2003 Report Posted July 17, 2003 I haven't seen this film, but I love four hour run times. When I go to a movie I want it to be an event. Something like Ben-Hur or Lawrence of Arabia.
Guest TonyJaymzV1 Posted July 17, 2003 Report Posted July 17, 2003 I'm the same way with WW2. Me and my grandfather (who was in WW2 which may be a reason why) buy any film/documentry about WW2. Except pearl Harbor...we saw that in the theater and decied that was a def no. Band of Brothers is the best.
Guest godthedog Posted July 17, 2003 Report Posted July 17, 2003 i used to love a good long ass movie, but i find myself liking short movies more and more. i think it's from taking so many film classes, where watching movies (even good ones) becomes like a chore, since they're associated with class, and you want them to be as short as possible. and after watching so many great movies that are so short, long running times seem excessive. i'll watch just about anything under 90 minutes. no, i don't have anything to add about 'gods and generals'.
Guest Ravenbomb Posted July 17, 2003 Report Posted July 17, 2003 I don't care how long a movie is, if it's good it's good. Haven't seen G&D
Guest MarvinisaLunatic Posted July 17, 2003 Report Posted July 17, 2003 I know the PC game sucks. I cant sit still for 4 hours to watch a movie. and the DVD is double sided and you have to flip it over halfway through or something..
Guest Ripper Posted July 17, 2003 Report Posted July 17, 2003 I saw G&G and honestly thought that it sucked. i loved Gettysburg, but this film just didn't do it for me. And I LOVE long films. I can't put my finger on it, but G&G pretty much was crap. Although if you are a Civil War enthusist, I see why you would like it more. As a film, it wasn't that great.
