5.0 out of 5 stars BEFORE "GETTYSBURG," THERE WAS "IRONCLADS!", July 28, 2003

By 

Steven Hancock (Winston Salem, NC United States) - See all my reviews

Although this film will never reach the popularity that "Gettysburg" and it's prequel "Gods and Generals" have achieved, "Ironclads" is still a worthy addition to anyone's library of Civil War films. The battle scenes between the Ironclad warships U.S.S. Monitor and C.S.S. Virginia (built on top of the captured remains of the U.S.S. Merrimac) are awesome to behold, and the acting and costuming are top notch. I hope that they release it on DVD soon! Grade: A+

2.0 out of 5 stars Cheesy love story, January 17, 2000

I liked this movie despite the cheesy, tacked on love story. The battle scene at the end is great and mostly historically accurate- when you finally get there. This movie is for Civil War buffs only.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good history despite the flaws., April 28, 2000

Definitely a flawed movie, particularly the stock love story. But the scenes about the construction and especially the battle scenes more than make up for it. The special effects are not going to impress you. But considering this is a made for TV movie they are quite acceptable.
