GustavoH.R.Jun 19, 20047A powerful film, but not among Spielberg's best. It's rather dry, it doesn't have that emotional punch "Schindler's List" has.

MikeW.Dec 2, 20054I think the flow of the movie was too choppy...It didn't appropriately depict the trajedy and hardship that the Africans were put through.

Nov 27, 20115The pace within the film makes it boring in many parts. The pace made it feel slow as well. It has a few inspiring moments and some great performances which makes it mildly entertaining.

67Cinque, the rebel leader, is played by former model Hounsou, a mountainous figure who speaks in a gutteral roar and seems to embody the rage and confusion of an entire exploited continent.

60There's some excellent comedy early on involving the mutual incomprehension of Africans and Americans, though this eventually gives way to solemn, ethnocentric mush about one African's reading of the story of Jesus, demonstrating as usual that sustained subtlety is hardly Spielberg's forte.

75What is most valuable about Amistad is the way it provides faces and names for its African characters, whom the movies so often make into faceless victims.
