Let's see, well it was worth seeing for me; however, I wished I had waited till is came out on television -- Because it was really a "movie of the week"... do they still have those? To say this movie was weak on facts would imply they got it ALL wrong - Yes, they made some things up doing the "hollywood thing" but they didn't even attempt half the history so they couldn't have gotten it ALL wrong! Parts of his life missing were glaring!

They glossed over years -- Heck decades at points, concentrating on Apple more than Steve Jobs in my opinion... maybe a better name would have been "Apple & jobs - Some of the Years"!

Wait for the movie to hit your TV and know you will still be missing more than half the story!

The movie was good, the story great, and the cinematography excellent - I suppose this was a great film; however, I didn't leave feeling it was a great film!

I didn't hit me like the *Lord of The Rings* trilogy had… was I anticipating it to much, expecting to much? …and it just didn't live up to my expectation?

I don't know, it felt slow at times giving us gaps that did nothing. We would see the beautiful world (middle earth) but there was no "building of the story" or filling in the blanks in these "down" periods.

Maybe we are just all to familiar with "Middle Earth" and the characters and that familiarity lends itself to boredom.

Still I would recommend seeing this movie - Just don't expect to much, the anticipation might kill it.

Lincoln was an excellent movie about a very important figure in national history - George Washington may be the father of our nation but Lincoln held it together and kept it from collapsing while still in infancy… The movie captured this pretty well, probably the best a 2.5 hour movie could!

The acting was exceptional and direction superb! This should have a great Oscar night and one of the few, Oscar winning movies, I would say I actually enjoyed!

My only let down was the the lack of young people seeing the movie - My wife and I were one of the youngest couples in the movie… and I fear education and immigration are destroying our national identity by allowing "the people" to forget our history!

I recommend all Americans see this movie and take your children.

There are some "hollywood moments" but you will not find a better movie to start a discussion about a time in our history that was both sad and exceptional!

Enjoy!
