Spielberg movie LINCOLN

I went to a preview screening of Lincoln and would tell most people to save their time and sleep at home.  Spielberg  being who he is, the movie will likely get lots of play and even awards, and there was certainly some good acting – Daniel Day Lewis and Tommy Lee Jones in particular, but the story was not strong enough for a movie, and I think there was more interest in making a story than giving the facts.  To the extend there was a story, a story, Channel would have done a better job. 

That said, anyone wishing to see how corrupt politicians are, will get an eye-full.  Lincoln himself pulls punches Slick Willy would admire! 

It is surprising that Spielberg let it  this go out BEFORE the election, as  It shows the low level of DEMOCRATS in particular, and gives credit to Republicans.
