Although I am an avid re en-actor of all American living history, I must be honest with those that I know so well and appreciate. I felt that this was a little dry and tedious at times. In as much as I may enjoy the CW, there was entirely too much time spent on issues that although it transpired during these battles, than on the actual battles. To me the title "GUNS OF APRIL" and the context of this had virtually nothing to do with the battles. Too much time was spent on other issues. I understand that much went on behind the actual battles and the aftermath was horrific, and many contributed far more than can be counted.
I have known the people involved with the making of this documentary, and in my heart, I know that they can do far better the the rating that I have given. I know that there will be those of you that disagree with this review, however, it is an honest, and fair review. After all, these are my thoughts. Jim and John, you can do better, and I know that you can.
