Gods and Generals is so bad...Ed Wood could've improved on it.

. . . even Steven Seagal wouldn't be in it.

My wife and I went and seen it on opening night. There was a fair amount of exicted people wearing Civil War uniforms Civil War drsses standing in the line waiting to see it. They were notably less existed as they left the theater in their Civil War uniforms and dresses.

... the cast and crew of Battlefield Earth slept soundly for the first time in 3 years.

. . . even Ron Maxwell wouldn't . . . oh, wait.

. . . even Steven Seagal wouldn't be in it.

His haircut isn't bad enough.

i can't possibly comment on it as with all the bad press i've never seen it (i have it, though)

 

[Sultana65]

Great, and this is the movie that I haven't seen yet that was going to motivate me to work out every day...yeah...no. I will watch it tentatively, but if it's as bad as everyone says I will just put it at the bottom of the pile and watch "Andersonville" or "Twelve Years a Slave" again. I have to admit, the first few minutes where Stonewall and the Misses sit in the parlor gazing into each others' eyes and speaking eloquently to each other just left me cold. If the whole movie is gonna be like that then, as they say in more urbane circles, ain't nobody got time for that!

Personal opinion and other people's views obviously differ but it is alright (I'm not going to go any higher than that). Mostly I think the problem with it is how much worse it is than 'Gettysburg' and how much some of the actors have aged despite the fact they are playing younger versions.

Gods and Generals is so bad...Tom Neal and Ann Savage should've played Joshua and Fanny Chamberlain.

... but, on the other hand you can really see how hard 20th maine has campaigned in that year

Yeah. Look at all the weight Chamberlain lost between Fredericksburg and Gettysburg.

 

[Schwallanscher]

Yeah. Look at all the weight Chamberlain lost between Fredericksburg and Gettysburg.

but if it goes to beards groucho marx would have been an improvement to gettysburg

 

[John Hartwell]

Yes. Jeff Daniels did a wonderful job as Chamberlain in Gettysburg, but they really should have re-cast the role for G&G.

 

[John Hartwell]

I really don't think the Gettysburg beards were all that bad. There are photos of the real Longstreet, for instance, where his beard looks more fake than Tom Berenger's -- even the real Stuart's looked downright silly at times.

I agree - other than Tom Chamberlain, the beards weren't all that bad in Gettysburg.

Oh, no! Does my beautiful Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain really look like that in G&G??? Noooooo!!!

Seriously, if they were going to make a movie ten years later about the same men who were in "Gettysburg" only they were supposed to be two years younger, they really needed to recast the whole lot of them. I was kind of wondering what this was going to look like, since the only actor I have seen in G&G so far who was in "Gettysburg" is Stephen Lang and it's really kind of hard to tell if he looks drastically different since he is playing a different character and has a lot more facial hair.

I've heard so many bad things about it I don't think I'll ever get around to watching it. Though the idea sounds good...*sigh* Why does it have to be so bad?
