Gods and Generals Ratings & Reviews
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Meticulous Civil War story runs a little long.
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
Everybody is so good and decent that it's hard to tell where the generals leave off and the gods start.
Chicago Reader
Bill Stamets
Maxwell continues his textbook emphasis on military maneuvers, but despite literally thousands of Civil War reenactors recruited for the film, the wide-screen canvas fails to map the tactics or evoke the terror of battle.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Full of windy speeches about honor, god, fealty, and so on, the movie comes to a literal standstill whenever one of these noble addresses is about to be delivered.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Rudolph
As remote and unyielding as an untouched textbook, often so much so that its academic fanaticism causes it to resemble a spectacular parody of daytime television's breathy, on-the-fly awkwardness.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
Four hours including the intermission, I felt like I was seeing the Civil War in real time for awhile there.
Seattle Times
Ted Fry
A movie that crams in so many faces, chronological details and endlessly ham-handed stretches of dialogue that the impact of the legitimately moving segments is considerably diminished.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
It's a plodding, episodic film, reverent and sanctimonious, and its pro-Southern viewpoint -- a time-honored Hollywood tendency -- makes Gone With the Wind look like a Northern polemic.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
What the filmmakers fail to recognize is that history on the page is quite different from what it needs to be onscreen, namely alive and visceral.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
It may not be the worst war epic ever made -- that probably would be Battlefield Earth -- but it's darn close to being an unqualified disaster of that magnitude.
Newsday
John Anderson
A shameless apologia for the Confederacy as a divinely inspired crusade for faith, home and slave labor.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
An inert pageant of waxen figures that fails completely as drama even as it insults the sensibilities of anyone not clinging to rosy memories of the slave-era South.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
A viewing of this epic is likely to leave all but the geekiest Civil War buffs feeling as itchy and as restless as if they themselves were wearing woolen underwear -- soggy, unwashed, vintage 1860s, government-issue woolen underwear.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
One doesn't come away from it with any sense of what the victory cost in human terms or what it's like to face a rank of men shooting at you, or to jam a bayonet into somebody's guts or have one jammed into your guts.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The kind of movie beloved by people who never go to the movies, because they are primarily interested in something else -- the Civil War, for example -- and think historical accuracy is a virtue instead of an attribute.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
Few of [the actors] are able to compete with the wigs and the platitudes.
Arizona Republic
Bill Muller
On the big screen ... Gods and Generals plays woefully stiff, hampered by the breadth of its source material and the reams of exposition required to explain the action.
New York Post
Jonathan Foreman
It is so lacking in flesh-and-blood characters, so unclear in its depiction of battles like Bull Run, and so nauseating in its gruesome sentimentality that it is all but unwatchable.
USA Today
Mike Clark
Bad actors or normally competent ones (Jeff Daniels, Stephen Lang) serve up stilted deliveries of stilted dialogue in a near-flashback to the filmstrips we used to see in school.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
A lumpy three-and-a-half-hour glob of Civil War history.
