About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a long, detail-heavy Civil War epic focused on strategy and major set pieces, similar in spirit to Patton; Not for you if you need brisk pacing or a grittier, less sentimental war tone.
Pros: large-scale battle scenes; strong historical detail; memorable performances | Cons: very long runtime; uneven pacing; sometimes melodramatic tone
