I have the same fear. Good for you for pointing it out.

I don’t think that’s necessarily likely, but it’s something that worries me nonetheless.

Sun, 12 Aug 2012 21:04:02 +0000 http://www.awardscircuit.com/?p=27830#comment-30422 I also have high hopes for this one. Even disregarding its lack in quality, “War Horse” was doomed from the start because it really wasn’t a film anybody wanted. Even Spielberg took it as a way to fill his time during post-production during Tintin. I feel that “Lincoln” isn’t a movie that people are rooting to fail: it has a lot of elements in it that are appealing and this could be one of those heavy Oscar contenders that end up being as great as it says it wants to be. I’m certainly hoping that it will.

I don’t think he’s made a real Spielberg-tier film in a decade (2002 saw Catch Me If You Can and Minority Report, both good credits to his body of work) but I think he can pull ahead here. There’s simply nothing to suggest this film will be anything less than quality. I mentioned before that I think the studio is playing this one really smart by saving the promotional materials for a short period right before the release, making sure the hype can’t die down once it hits in full force.

Mostly because of the casting and story.
