In order to have a great movie,you have to have a great director,and that director must have a vision of what he wants to show us.Maxwell was never able to create the look of the  1860's USA.His pastures and battlefields were neatly bush-hogged and not realistic.The blue and gray soldiers were dressed in clean pressed uniforms.The Stonewall brigade,looked to have gone abeer too far,most were overweight,suburban looking chaps.Action sequences were haphazardly edited.Reenactors laughing as they charge across a battlefield,just does not relay danger to the movie watcher.A director change is needed.I thought "Ride with the Devil" and "Pharoahs Army" were great movies.
