- Great movie
This is a must see movie. I think this should be a part of every high school's lesson plan concerning the civil war. It is violet, but not in the bloody gory way new movies are. A great history lesson we should all learn from!
Rating: - Gettysburg / Gods and Generals
One on the best Civil War movies I've ever seen. The starkness and raw emotions depicted in this movie, makes one think they've witnessed the carniage first hand. Historical in every way. Little known facts if what the soldiers endured are brought to the attention of the viewer. The reasons for secession from a southern perspective are expressed in a very frank way. An education for most who are not from the regions that comprised the Confederacy. A must see!

- good but not perfect
Good movies, glad I bought them. Gods and Generals have good cast members and I liked the whole thing but I am a northerner and so accept that you cannot please everyone. Gettyburg, side A was worth the price of the whole series. Side B leans a little bit too much to understand the south, but very understandable. Lee is not as well played as in God's and Generals. Great history and I should note that the extras on God's and Generals are also good. Too much description of how it was made in Gettyburgs ... Read More
Rating: - Wonderful set w/great extras!!!
These two movies show not only the various battles (Bull Run, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg, which got its own movie) but also the ideals on both sides."Gods & Generals" introduces us to "Stonewall" Jackson as he changes careers from VMI professor to a prominent commander that Lee relied upon.We see Lee turn down a Union command, only to pick up his sword for Virginia.The 20th Maine Regiment is formed, and the viewer is introduced to Col. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, his brother ... Read More
