"Gods and Generals" : For the first time in my life I found myself agreeing with something in The National Review, namely their very positive take on this movie, along with some reasons why virtually every other critic detested it.

The film's big flaw is that the dialogue sounds too much like a nineteenth-century novel. Nobody could have spoken routinely in such long, perfectly formed sentences ! Could they ?

Other than that, it's exceptionally well done and very believable. Even better than "Gettysburg," IMHO.
