 Great movie May 27, 2009
Jeremiah Marceau (Seattle WA)
This is a must see movie. I think this should be a part of every high school's lesson plan concerning the civil war. It is violet, but not in the bloody gory way new movies are. A great history lesson we should all learn from!
Gettysburg / Gods and Generals May 3, 2009
Fred Patterson (Oregon USA)
One on the best Civil War movies I've ever seen. The starkness and raw emotions depicted in this movie, makes one think they've witnessed the carniage first hand. Historical in every way. Little known facts if what the soldiers endured are brought to the attention of the viewer. The reasons for secession from a southern perspective are expressed in a very frank way. An education for most who are not from the regions that comprised the Confederacy. A must see!
 good but not perfect April 20, 2009
James H. Nelson (Zhangjiakou, Hebei China)
Good movies, glad I bought them. Gods and Generals have good cast members and I liked the whole thing but I am a northerner and so accept that you cannot please everyone. Gettyburg, side A was worth the price of the whole series. Side B leans a little bit too much to understand the south, but very understandable. Lee is not as well played as in God's and Generals. Great history and I should note that the extras on God's and Generals are also good. Too much description of how it was made in Gettyburgs extras and less explanation on the history.
Wonderful set w/great extras!!! April 6, 2009
D. Munro (PA, USA)
These two movies show not only the various battles (Bull Run, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg, which got its own movie) but also the ideals on both sides. "Gods & Generals" introduces us to "Stonewall" Jackson as he changes careers from VMI professor to a prominent commander that Lee relied upon. We see Lee turn down a Union command, only to pick up his sword for Virginia. The 20th Maine Regiment is formed, and the viewer is introduced to Col. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, his brother Thomas, and of course a beloved character, Sgt. Buster Kilrain -- the very same men featured so prominently in the sequel, "Gettysburg." It was a treasure to see so many actors reprise their roles from "Gettysburg."
I recommend this set for the simple fact that you get both Civil War movies in one single package. Both movies are great and show not only amazing battle scenes, but also great human relationships in various ways. The music video for "Going Home" by Mary Fahl is amazing and shows scenes from "Gods & Generals." There are many more special features that extend the experience and leaves the viewer with a more solid understanding of the history without having to visit a museum.

Great movie, but the brand new DVD ( Gettysburg) froze several times. The movie was played on a new sony DVD player that had no problems with any other movies new or used. have yet to return it, but Amazon has lost my business
