And The Truth Is Known

Date of Review:  Mar 12, 2000
Review: Amistad is a strong movie that stands on its own with its content, it plot and the heavy duty conflict throughout the film.

Very few movies potray the reality of the days of slavery and the down right cruel acts of mankind. Push aside all...

"Amistad" - Ho Hum, Another Uplifting Epic

Date of Review:  Mar 3, 2001
The Bottom Line: A weak story, with a weak plot and characters.
Review: I got to see "Amistad" for free, since someone else took me and paid for it. That certainly helped, since I would not have gone to see the movie on my own. Though I generally like Steven Spielberg movies, they tend to be a bit schmaltzy and...

Good, But Not Great

Date of Review:  May 7, 2000
Review: While hardly a failure, Steven Spielberg?s Amistad begs comparison to his classic Schindler?s List because it uses a similar formula of dramatizing a little known, yet uplifting, historical person or event. Unfortunately, Amistad does not have the...

Historically accurate but dramatically dull

Date of Review:  May 30, 2000
Review: Steven Spielberg's 1998 movie Amistad has a great subject matter, a cast of riveting characters but very little passion. That's not to say that it's not an enjoyable film...it is, it's just that it could've been so much more.

The initial...

Spielberg pulls no punches in addressing the horror of slavery.

Date of Review:  Jan 16, 2000
Review: Steven Spielberg tackles slavery in his second go around at being a "serious" director. He proves once again, that regardless of the subject, he is cinema's master storyteller. This is one of the best films of 1997, and probably the most serious...

Freedom is not given. It is our right at birth.

Date of Review:  May 4, 2000
Review: This is a great movie. A classic. It has a great story, great acting, great actors, and a great message. Any one of which are good enough to make watching the movie a worthwhile experience but together they make not watching the movie almost a...

Date of Review:  May 15, 2000
Review: This story was one of the greatest movies I have ever read. I read this movie b/c it was so deep. The part the affected me the most was when one of the captured men was given a Bible. The pictures in the Bible were the only way he could understand...

Important Piece of American History

Date of Review:  Jan 27, 2001
The Bottom Line: Enjoyable movie that will educate you on slavery and a piece of American history. Well done performances, storytelling, and direction.
Review: The second of three movies by Steven Speilberg to take one part history, two parts of injustice towards humanity, and three hours of film. It?s a roller coaster of a ride through American history as we are taught about slavery in our country after a...

Freedom

Date of Review:  Dec 15, 2009
It's Good For: Entertainment, Women, Adults, Men, Teenagers, Education
Review: Amistad is based on the true story of a slave revolt on the slaver Amistad. And how the slaves ended up in a US court with their freedom at stake. Powerful, gripping tale of a historical event rarely told.
