Well, I do admit that "Gods and Generals" has a script that waxes a bit turgid and overblown at times... ;-)

Still, I enjoyed it, because I love the history so much.

Now I'd like to see a really superb film (or series) on the glory days of the Army of Northern Virginia, with topnotch portrayals of Robert E. Lee., Stonewall Jackson, Jeb Stuart, and Jame Longstreet...plus Jubal Early, Mahone, and all the rest of them. Stirring stuff, to be sure. No army ever had more style, finer fighting spirit, or a more poignant and tragic ending.
