Summary: one of the greatest civil war movies ever
Review: A very compelling story of the fight between North and South during the Civil War. Accurately depicted drama between the two forces, and the hardships faced in prisoner camps. Great acting, and spectacular drama. I recomend it to anyone who loves American history.

Summary: Worst of the Worst.......
Review: After watching most movies, you absorb it and a day later it is more or less forgotten. NOT ANDERSONVILLE! This movie stuck with me for a solid week after viewing. Very similar to the way I felt after watching Schindlers List......
However, I think this movie should be viewed as a look into what all of the Civil War camps were like. The Union obviously had prison war camps also. Such as Fort Jefferson, Fort Delaware & Camp Chase to name a few. Many of the conditions in these camps were just as bad.......
However, Andersonville was the worst of the worst of all prison camps North & South. And this movie depicts the conditions extremely well. Great movie!!!!!!

Summary: I loved this movie!
Review: Although this movie is nearly three hours long, it is definitely worth the time to watch it. It is the story of the Andersonville Confederate prison during the latter half of the Civil War. It begins as a certain few soldiers are captured and taken there. Slowly, the many horrors unfold and you can't help but get into it. The many actors did a great job in this film. Finally- a Civil War movie about something other than a famous battle. I highly recommend this movie!

Summary: Truth or Dare?
Review: Andersonville is one of those few movies that stick to the facts. The realities of war and prisoners of war. It's not a preety film, but it is gripping. And seeing it is what started my interest in learning more about Andersonville and the Civil War. I have even since taken 2 trips to Andersonville just to see the place that the events took place in. It is so moving. My children have also watched it, found it facinating, and hopefully learned something from it.

Summary: Puts chills in my spine
Review: Another great Civil War movie. Andersonville is a great historical and factual piece of work. It reveals how cruel men were back in the 1860's. I believe that the acting done by the cast was the finest i have ever seen. They truely made it feel like you were there in the prison

Summary: Marvelous!
Review: As a civil war reenactor and knowing that the majority of my regiment participated in this movie's filming, I consider this to be a civil war masterpiece! I have seen it at least a dozen times, and I still can pick out things that I've missed perviously...true, Captain Wirz may have acted nice on the outside, but how great of a person could he have been on the inside if he let the Union soldiers starve to death, get malaria from the piece of...stream, and let other union soldiers stab and beat the "Fresh Fish" to their deaths. If they had portrayed Wirz as a good mannered guy, it will seem fake and unrealistic. It was necessary to prove a point. Besides, it gives the Yanks someone else to hate!

Summary: More myth than reality
Review: Even Yankee authors have portrayed Captain Henry Wirz as a compassionate gentleman, not the monster seen here. Food supplies cut off by the Northern armies, refusal to exchange prisoners by Lincoln, and a death rate of the guards of equal percentage to the prisoners are just a few of the facts left out of this sham.

Summary: Andersonville is shocking view of Civil War imprisonment.
Review: I am a U.S. History teacher at a middle school. I showed clips of this movie to my students and it really brought a wide array of feelings out of my students. I found that the movie created great parallels of cruel behavior that can come out of even the so-called "good guys."I did more reseach about the Andersonville camp and showed overheads to my students. The images that I found were much more horrific than the movie depicts. I think this a great movie for any history buff that likes the off-the-beaten-track stories which I enjoy so much.

Summary: Andersonville was fantastic
Review: I enjoyed this movie greatly. I'm in 9th grade and we watched it in school recently. It showed a lot about what the civil war was like and all the suffering these men had to go through. And yes the confederates did have enough food and wirz was holding out so it was his fault that, that camp was so bad compared to the other ones. Why do u think they had a trial and hanged him for war crimes, let me tell you it wasn't cuz he was a nice man anyways I really don't know but this was a really good movie and I really recommend it to everyone because I'm not real big on the school thing but I loved this movie.
