Very well executed

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Movie Review: "Glory" (1989)Under Columbia Pictures' affiliate Tristar becomes the exceptionally-humane "Civil-War" action-drama with encouraging thoughts of turning abolished slavery within the Northern Blue-Coat Union into the state of soldiering labor, letting "Glory" directed by Edward Zwick become a redeeming kind of a war-movie fairy-tale to a relentless drive in the hearts of any U.S. American citizen as long-lived immigrant on North American soil to stand up, fight for a cause and if personal belief becomes forfeit to die from it; here entertainingly as suspenseful conflicted writings by another real-life personalty of U.S. American estranged 19th century turning into acting interpretations by Matthew Broderick, who gives face to a seemingly timid, yet courage-finding just-Colonel-promoted Robert Gould Shaw at age 25, putting on all boundaries crossing towards his way pushings in order to create an infamous suicide platoon of the Union Army, detailed-researched and visually-dramatized by director Edward Zwick, charging toward an inconceivable Confederate coast-guarding fortress "Fort Wagner" on Morris Island, South Carolina on July 18th 1863."Glory" finds its strength in outstanding supportive performances, ranging from Denzel Washington, at Oscar-winning age of 34, with rarely-seen exposures of disobedience as runaway slave "Trip" turning Union private; and audience-witnesses of the overdue acting-breakthrough by 51-year-old Morgan Freeman to let this favorably-paced motion picture with its 115-Minute-editorial by Steven Rosenblum, which just misses a Best Picture nomination against a seemingly emotional-wider-spreading against an unforgettable uplifting premise shot with "Field of Dreams" (1989) starring Kevin Costner as internal-voice-hearing Iowa corn farmer; nevertheless here "Civil-War" actions technically as flawlessly-received in cinematography by Freddie Francis (1917-2007) and production design endeavors in favors to utmost accurancy from a battlefront-raging opening of desolation to no-win-situations between the Northern Union and Southern Confederates, given director Edward Zwick emotional space to develop the main character R.G. Shaw's story with less-to-no suspension loss, but then again missing a close-to-certain Best Director nomination by trusting solely on Glory's inevitable already historically as screenplay-given conclusion.© 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

Glory was an absolutely amazing movie to watch. I was blown away at how historically accurate many of the scenes were and how it matched up with what I learned in my US history class. (For example, the refusal of the men to accept a lower pay than white soldiers.) It was definitely an emotional and moving movie to watch. The way that the battles and other events were filmed, plus the added phenomenal music choices truly makes one feel for what is happening on screen. I had the ability to sympathize with men of the 54th Regiment, as well as Colonel Shaw, who was trying to overcome his own personal battles while fighting for what was the best for his own men. What really blew me away was at the final battle scene at Fort Wagner, which showed just how much the men of the 54th were devoted to the Union, their comrades, and their leader; and were willing to make the ultimate sacrifice in honor of their country, even though they weren't even treated equally to their white counterparts. The most moving part was how Colonel Shaw made the ultimate sacrifice, and ended up being laid to rest along the men whom he gave everything for.

The portrayal of the civil war soldiers in this movie was emotionally moving. The actors were very good. It seems obvious why this movie and its actors received so many awards. The action scenes were realistic and accurately helps capture the bloody nature of war. The internal turmoil of the characters makes it easy to connect with them.
