Movie Reviews of 1776 (Restored Director's Cut)
Movie Review: Fun and historical movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I think this musical is a great mixture of history, humor and enjoyable music. The characters were well cast. William Daniels as John Adams is superb--okay, not the most melodious singer, but expressive and perfect for the part.
1776 is an excellent choice for viewing on patriotic holidays, especially July 4, of course.
My biggest objection to the movies? Using "Jesus" repeatedly as an exclamation. That is offensive and totally unnecessary.
Movie Review: Director's cut and commentary are brilliant!
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this on Broadway and in the movies when released. The restored director's cut is a vast improvement in picture, sound and continuity. I love the justice that 30 years brought in allowing the director to have the final say. Take that, Jack Warner!
William Daniels is so magnificent,I've been unable to get him out of my head in subsequent Adams works. He IS Adams to me.
Movie Review: July 4th Set to Music
Summary: 4 Stars
Although heavily panned at its original release and the film did not enjoy the same accolades as the Broadway musical, American History students may find 1776 an easy way to enjoy learing about the men and disagreements behind July 4th. I have used this movie for a college level History class. Most students find it an interesting way to see the founding fathers and the events that led to the declaration of American independence.Movie Review: 1776 Movie
Summary: 4 Stars
The movie was worth the wait. It is quite accurate and depicts a moment in our history that is the foundation of our country. The acting is believable and takes you to the spot were this all happened.
Worth the money , it should be in your library
Movie Review: Still holds up
Summary: 4 Stars
I first saw this movie in 1976 when just about every television station ran it as part of their Bicentinnial celebration. More than 30 years later, the film still hold up as a very entertaining (if not always historically accurate) take on the birth of our nation. Seeing Howard Da Silva's Ben Franklin alone is worth the price of admission. The commentary provided by the director helps put the film in its 1992 context. So does the fact that the movie ends with a simple "The End" title instead of 20 minutes of credits.
