The problem is that this is a crappy movie.

And I say that as a card-holding member of the VRWC.

Way too long. Skips over long periods of Jackson's and Lee's history, then spends huge amounts of time dwelling on minutiae.

Very disappointing.

Also thought it was rather funny that apparently the Army of Northern Virginia was primarily made up of middle-aged, pudgy, clean-shaven men.

Concur. Only Ted Turner could make the Civil War boring and trivial. I left during the intermission.

The bottom line here is that Turner makes terrible movies.

Sorry my friend, I loved it, and so has everyone I sent to see this great movie. I could see this movie ten more times, and I say it as a collector of civil war documents, and first person accounts of the affairs surrounding the war.
