Movie Reviews of The History Channel Presents The War of 1812
Movie Review: The War of 1812 is outlined precisely and POWERFULLY!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are looking to understand this War and intricate details - this is an excellent documentary to watch. I recommend it for all teachers/professors out there who want to give a visual perspective to their students!!
The actors playing important roles are believable and it excited me to want to visit Fort McHenry in Maryland to see where Francis Scott Key wrote the poem "The Star Spangled Banner". I have sang that song countless times but after watching this movie I will be compelled visually to replay certain scenes of this documentary while I'm singing only to add more heartfelt emotion to the moment!
The History Channel did a professional and thorough production. I hope all of you interested in our American History will buy this documentary (DVD) or at least rent it!
A great movie for parents who have school aged children!!!
