Lincoln is not a movie about Abraham Lincoln's life and presidency, yet it focuses more on the passing of the 13th amendment, which is the abolishment of slavery. It would have been nice to see a movie about Abraham Lincoln's life, but to be honest I think it was a good idea to focus the movie on the passing of the 13th amendment.
The acting is impeccable, from everyone, the main characters, the supporting actors, even the extras, all phenomenal, my only issue with the acting is the accent that is so obviously fake. I think it is attempting to be a southern accent, but it is so obviously not the actor's accent. Other than that, the acting is fantastic.
As for the cinematography, the visuals are incredible, it is a beautiful and attractive film. And for the audio, it is a very loud movie, a little too loud, I had it had 33, and I had to change the volume to 23...maximum is 100. But the characters sounded vivid, and overall the cinematography was good.
As for the realism, based on my research of course, so I might be wrong, but I have concluded that it is very accurate. A tad bit fictionalized and mostly grounded in reality. Which is a good thing.
Now I get to the entertainment, now the movie did not need to be 2 hours and 30 minutes. It was *way too slow*, it took a good hour for it to actually get to something. The beginning was very boring, and just not really necessary. There were not *that* many characters that needed a big introduction. But when it gets good, it gets great. But the movie would get a much higher rating from me if it weren't for the first hour of the movie.
For the emotional impact, it is a very important movie, and has one of the most emotional scenes I have seen in a movie. It is definitely more emotional than entertaining, which is not an issue, not every good movie needs to be both. The emotional impact gets a high rating, even if the entertainment level might not be so high.
And finally the ending, now as previously mentioned in the last paragraph, I said that there was one of the most emotional scenes I have seen in a movie. That happened towards the end, and the ending of this movie is a great ending, powerful, emotional, and just great to watch. I highly recommend watching this movie even though the first hour is boring as hell.
In conclusion: Plot: 9.5/10 Acting: 10/10 Cinematography: 8.5/10 Realism: 9.6/10 Entertainment level: 7.3/10 Emotional impact: 9.0/10 Ending: 9.5/10 Characters: 10/10
Final rating: 91.75%
