benfthomas The battle scenes are very captivating and always kept me on the edge of my seat. The underscoring music throughout the movie was very moving and each piece that proceeded the next fit the timing in which it was placed in the movie. After watching this movie you will feel and become more informed on the behind the scenes of fighting during the civil war, especially for an all black regiment, which was an unprecedented breakthrough for the time period. Overall an interesting and mesmerizing movie to watch, you will have a hard time taking your eyes off of it.

andrewmeliacc Glory is a powerful film about the 54th Massachusetts Regiment who fought bravely for the Union during the Civil War. Raw emotions are shown in the film through the wonderful acting of Morgan Freeman and Denzel Washington and at times it is easy for the viewer to lost him/herself in events of the film. It is truly a unique film in this sense. This film however, is not 100% historically accurate as it portrays the black men as fugitive slaves when in reality they were primarily free black men. Nonetheless, the patriotism, bravery and glory displayed by the Regiment in this film something, that in my eyes, have made it one of the best movies I have ever seen.

dperk-01380 A great depiction of one of the most important regiments of the Union Army. With many aspects of historical contexts, it seemed very realistic to the Civil War. A great cast of the always great Denzel Washington and Morgan Freeman along with a great portrayal of Robert Shaw by Matthew Broderick fit the movie very well. This was a very different view of Broderick for me as I am used to seeing him in much less intense movies such as Deck the Halls, but it just shows his brilliance as an actor.A very interesting part of the Civil war, the 54th Massachusetts Regiment being the first African-American regiment, which isn't too well known being the focus makes for a very appealing movie.

rileymcilmoylcc This movie is one of my favorite war movies, I really loved how it was focused around a battalion that had freed slaves in it. Because most movies about the civil war don't ever really talk about the fact that slaves did go and join the union after the emancipation act. And even some of the discrimination the soldiers faced in the battalion. Also the characters are all very dynamic and have a nice character arch. I would recommend this movie to anyone who is a matthew broderick fan or someone who is a fan of war movies.
