Epic tale of the early battles of the Civil War
on June 14, 2014
Posted by: Yojimbe

Verified Purchase:Yes
Being a big Civil War buff I had to buy this remastered blu-ray of the epic 2003 film about the early years and major battles of the war. It's a long movie told in five parts and it spans the major events of the war prior to Gettysburg (another movie called Gettysburg by the same director covers that major battle). The characters are brought to life and vividly portrayed by a great ensemble cast led by Stephen Lang as Stonewall Jackson and Robert Duvall as Robert E. Lee. The battle scenes were excellently staged and filmed and this film could serve as course material for a history class it's so authentic. The one thing I didn't like about the film is that is slightly biased from the Confederate point of view.

What's great about it: The acting and characters
What's not so great: Told mostly from the point of view of the South
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very exciting story about Spec Ops in Afghanistan

Verified Purchase:Yes
I never read Marcus Luttrell's book about Navy SEALS special ops in Afghanistan but this movie told his story in a very intense and humanistic manner. A group of career military professionals on a secret mission blow their cover and are caught in a moral dilemma involving some innocent Afhan locals. If you liked ACT OF VALOR, THE HURT LOCKER and the HBO miniseries GENERATION KILL you will love this film.

Really good reboot of the original Robocop

Verified Purchase:Yes
I wasn't sure if I was going to like this film and thought it would be the usual retread of an original classic. They updated the plot and it looked really slick. I also like the blu-ray extras and the Best Buy steelbook is a must have.
