Agreed. However this soundtrack was done by the same guy, and I thought he did a great job once again.

Well the good thing is that the movie wasnt long as Gettysburg. Who wants to sit down and watch a 5 hour movie. :P

Nice little game to play as you watch the movie.

i saw it was a bit long but at least there was an intermission

I personally like long movies, as long as they are good, and G&G was damn good.

Sorry guys, haven't had time to post since I saw the movie. I liked it, can't wait for DVD "extras", but it's not for everyone. I, too, thought the monologues were a little long a times. I understand that the point was to try and emulate the book by making these guys "human" and not just historical figures but at times it was a little much. (ie - The long poem by Chamberlain).

I was impressed by the attention to historical detail (note the Confederate soldiers wearing US belt buckles upside down! - Jackson falling of the stretcher! etc) As for having too much praying, etc. by Jackson - not possible! What was portrayed is the watered down version. His beliefs were so strong that he would stop in the middle of a battle, raise his hand to God and pray for several minutes. He was always found in his tent on his knees in prayer. It might not make for an exciting movie but it is accurate.
