And, all apologies to Lynnie, Lincoln is way too long. Because, once again, Steven Spielberg doesn't know when to stop. Did you know Lincoln was shot? Oh wow!

After a moving story that redefines what a great man President Lincoln was, and after an ending that made me cry; Lincoln stretches on for 45 minutes to show us all that the civil war did end and Lincoln was shot. Turning a moving and surprising story into a Steven Spielberg epoch of bloated proportions and the subtlety of a swift kick to the nuts. Does no one, NO ONE, bother to tell him that we aren't all idiots!

It's not the Award for MOST direction.
