I am a big..big fan of the original Gettysburg..and a civil war buff.....I am not sure what happened but it seems like it was made by "Confederate lovers of America".....incredibly one-sided....cheesy preachy dialog... and laughable scenes of Sonewall Jackson praying with his slave to end slavery,(sure that happened!!!!)....and his slaves lying to Northern soldiers to keep their property from being looted....Was is really a war between with greedy North...and the Christian, righteous, glorious South??
the original Gettysburg was fascinating with equal time to both North and South....Why not at least one shot with Lincoln??? Would that shift too much sympathy to the North??
.while "Gods" missed this opportunity showing about 80% of the South.......Did we really have to Christmas with the Lees??
Even the music is a big step down from Gettysburg..
It really deserved its critical drubbing and box office failure....
