Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
While sincerity obviously can't guarantee quality, it's still a refreshing step up from the blatant commercialism of most West Coast media projects.

fresh:
Mr. Daniels's luminous performance as the heroic colonel dominates ... half of the film. And when the actor all but disappears in Part 2, he is sorely missed.

fresh:
Gettysburg succeeds as a motion picture event, and as a re-creation of a pivotal chapter of American history.

rotten:
It's a movie that parades authenticity, but never settles on its own point of view.
