Gods and Generals is one of the best war film of modern times. The acting is brilliant and characters are believable and,realistic and the film is historically accurate in every detail although some of the actors are a bit chubby for the period. The beards are better than in the film Gettysburg and some of the speeches are a bit to long, but the action shots are some of the best on film. This is a mans film and I don't think women will enjoy it so much. It contains all the emotions, Sadness . Laughter etc.,. I first purchased this film as a boxed set some years ago, but my copy of Gods and Generals got scratched so I had to buy this film again, because it is such a good film. Try it ,you will, I promise , enjoy it.

This is a magnificent film, containing within it a true story, and the personal experiences of two actual men in the American Civil War. It is an accurate portrayal of the American Civil War and it's consequences, and the opposing view points for the conflict from the characters of both sides. The battle scenes are exceptionally well done, as they did not use hired extras.. but the American Civil War society, and other similar re enactment groups, who really know their subject well, and can perform such battles with total military accuracy, and this fact is very noticable when watching the film. As much as was possible it was filmed on the actual locations of the battles, and where not, it was filmed as close to the locations as possible, so the landscape scenes give the viewer as true a perspective of the actual battle terrains that these history changing events took place on. This is a superb film, and if you have only a vague subject knowledge, or just mildly interested in this period of American history, this film will probably kindle more interest in the subject. like the previous film by the same production team "Gettysburg" (also using the same format for the battles) Gods and Generals is (I am sure) a film you will want to watch again.Read full review
