It was a good film, but I do wish that the battles were portrayed with a little more context. I think Gettysburg did better at placing the battle in context and explaining the strategic and tactical aspects of it. I realize that that's not what G & G is about, per se, but I do think it would have helped strengthen the narrative.

They did leave out a huge chunck but it would have been much longer if they'd done it all. I think Civil War buffs noticed the omissions and feel an explaination of the battles leading up to The Wilderness needed to be there, but all in all it was very good.
