I actually think it’s a good article. I saw ZDT, and thought it was good. Won’t watch Lincoln though.

Won’t see ZDT seems vengeful. Hated “Lincoln”. “Argo” is a great film in my opinion.

It's not too bad, though it's badly flawed in some respects. The marble is still thickly encrusted, and the filmmakers had no inclination to indulge in flinty-eyed review of such topics as, "was a civil war really necessary? -- nobody else had one!" and "what was the real objective of the Civil War?"

The film's POV is that of a Lincoln-circle insider of the first or second ring -- say, Ward Lamon or Allan Pinkerton or Gideon Welles. But not the first ring. They would know the real reason Lincoln came to office determined to fight a war with the South and destroy it.

Argo was incredible. Lincoln was ok. Zero Dark Thirty was good. Django was surprisingly funny. I recommend all 4 but Lincoln is least enjoyable. Although like others have mentioned, Daniel Day Lewis was great and the costumes were pretty good.
