Forever damned as one of the "50 Worst Movies of All Time" by those well respected critics (sarcasm) The Medved brothers, Abraham Lincoln is by all means not the worst movie I've ever seen, heck, I really wouldn't call it bad, it just a bit slow and has some hooty moments, but otherwise might serve as a nice early representation of a president on Film. Walter Huston, brilliant actor as he is, I don't think quite pulls off the role here. His Lincoln is awfully stiff, goes dreamy eyed when making Some Significant Statement. Actually, all the acting is quite stiff here, I guess being the time, they were still doing Silent Movie Acting and not quite getting the rhythm down yet for sound films. Least person to know this is the actress playing Mrs Lincoln, who always jumping around, acting acting acting. As for the story, I'm not American, so I can't really judge of what's true or not, but it does make coherent sense, So I have no complaints about this really.
