This is the best film made about the Civil War, in my opinion. It capture the tenuous racial climate of the times, while featuring some powerful and moving performance from an all-star cast. The ending is incredibly poignant and emotional. The relationship between Matthew Broderick and Ande Braugher's character is especially captivating.

A good depiciton of the Civil War. The story of the first all black volunteer infantry is told in a more truthful manner and manages to make routine moments not feel cliched. There are certain parts that are very effective and the film still holds an inspirational grasp despite not having a winning outcome.

OMG... I cannot watch this movie without crying my eyes out. This is really an amazing movie. Great cast, great director just great everything and Denzel (looking gorgeous as ever) was definitely on top of his game.

This is probably Denzel Washington's best movie. And, it's probably the best movie on the civil war. It's a very inspirational movie, that's for sure.

Saw it on Halloween in the theaters. Basically, my parents used to force me to see a bunch of Civil War movies. Oh joy.

Great movie, great acting, great cast. The war scenes are well done and realistic. I can forgive the movie for the unrealistic dialog.

A great war movie that is typical of Zwick. An epic movie that is very well done, beautifully shot, well acted but has too much modern dialog to merit the time period.
