the second half of "lincoln" ended up being more interesting than the first, but still...

I've been chickening out on seeing Lincoln. I have liked the Civil War. Tend to stay away.

dont get me wrong, it is a good movie and one of the best 10 or so of the year, but the first half drags.

of the 9 best pic nominees i think it is my least fave so far. django (though fantasy) deals with the slavery issue in a much more interesting way, and zero dark thirty does political intrigue much more interestingly.

both of those seem like 2012 movies. lincoln feels like something you would have seen in the 70s or 80s. it's stodgy, old style, and kind of rigid. its really good, but...
