I know they had to squeeze in two years of the war but I was dissapointed they did nothing on this battle and Antietam.
The movie was such a mish-mash of unconnected incidents that it was impossible for anyone not a Civil War buff to follow it. I saw it in a theater and as I was walking out of it, I swear to God, a girl walking ahead of me turned to her boyfriend and asked, "Now which side did this Jackson guy fight for again?" That miserable scene where the actors are singing "Bonnie Blue Flag" ran longer than some battles. All in all a miserable picture. "Gettysburg" was the better effort.
