Maidgethma Wonderfully offbeat film!

Dotbankey A lot of fun.

Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

view_and_review African-Americans have fought in every American war since Crispus Attucks was killed in the Revolutionary War and arguably there was no more important war for African-Americans than the Civil War. "Glory", largely based upon the book "Lay this Laurel", is about the 54th Massachusetts regiment during the Civil War which was made up of black soldiers. The movie picks up sometime in 1862 with the war already going on. Not long into the movie the idea is proposed and adopted to incorporate black soldiers. They were very willing but very raw. Many of them were runaway slaves and didn't know the first thing about army life or fighting in a war. It's both a heartwarming and heart-wrenching story that should be a source of pride for any African-American and even any American. It is a very patriotic story about men that wanted to fight for what every American cherishes: freedom. It just so happens that they had to fight for the Union Army to gain that freedom.

cinemajesty 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)

steelers-15892 The movie overall was one of the better civil war movies I have seen. The movie shows the hardships the Massachusetts 54th regiment faced which included the discrimination of the regiment and the hard fought battles. The movie does a particularly good job of connecting the viewer with all of the soldiers and not just the stars featured in this film. I would suggest this movie to someone who likes war movies.

masinmarkertcc Did not shy away from the harsh reality of war good men die and lose. Really emotioally capitivating and a good film all around protraied in my opinion all the character fairly and well.
