THE BEST CIVIL WAR MOVIES EVER MADE!, August 21, 2004
This review is from: Gods and Generals / Gettysburg (2-Pack) (DVD)
Based on the bestselling novels by Michael and Jeff Shaara, "Gods and Generals" and "Gettysburg" (based on the elder Shaara's "The Killer Angels") are the most excting and emotional Civil War epics ever filmed. The battle scenes are the most exciting and realistic Civil War battle sequences ever put on screen. The acting is phenomenal, with the likes of Jeff Daniels, Stephen Lang, Tom Berenger, Robert Duvall, Bruce Boxleitner, Martin Sheen, Richard Jordan, Sam Elliott and Mira Sorvino, but to name a few of the fine actors and actresses in these two movies. Director Ronald F. Maxwell has created a masterpiece with his first two films, giving rise to the hope that the last film, "The Last Full Measure," will complete what will hopefully be the best Civil War trilogy ever made!
"Gods and Generals" Movie/DVD Grade: A+
"Gettysburg" Movie/DVD Grade: A+
Overall Grade: A+

Gods and Generals/Gettysburg, November 18, 2004
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Gods and Generals / Gettysburg (2-Pack) (DVD)
These two Civil War movies are incredible! Even though they are a bit long, they still are great to watch: especially if you like history. The acting and music (score) in both of these movies are well-done. 'Gods and Generals' and 'Gettysburg' will actually make you feel like you were living during the time of the Civil War while watching them.
Gods and Generals: 4/5
Gettysburg: 5/5

The two greatest Civil War films!, August 8, 2005
A Kid's Review
You can't go wrong with this 2 pack edition. These are by far the most accurate historical films made to date. Jeff Daniels does a great job portraying Civil War hero Joshua Chamberlain! These two films won't let you down!
