	Review: Glory (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Glory opens with a brief prologue at Antietum, one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War.
		Glory is constructed as an inspirational tale, but the inspiration is not forced or false.
		Glory's climax is a perfect mix of triumph and tragedy — an epitaph to the 54th that brings tears to the eye while uplifting the soul.

	Glory (1989) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Seeing Glory for the first time only a couple of years ago, and then only because I knew of James Horner's wonderful soundtrack to it, I was immediately impressed.
		The film itself shocked me (in a positive way), the cinematography is wonderful, and all the acting is top-notch, even if Matthew Broderick does seem a little too weak sometimes, and does not totally convince when his role asks for assertiveness.
		But apart from these little glitches, the whole film is a wonderful, poignant piece of work.

	IGN: Glory Road Review
		Glory Road is the kind of movie that audiences love and critics sneer at.
		Rupp is the "villain," of the film, but his portrayal is one of the standout aspects that made me respect Glory Road.
		The film is by no means a classic, it's simply too mundane for that.

	DVDFILE.COM: Paths Of Glory review
		Many war films have been made, but most are formulaic and dull, with little to say and even less to recommend.
		Paths of Glory stands out among this collection of mediocrity as a haunting work and a searing portrait of World War I. The year is 1916, and the place is the front line of the World War I battlefields.
		Paths of Glory was banned for several years in France because of its negative portrayal of French generals.

	Filmtracks: Glory (James Horner)
		The Oscar-recognized film's vivid brutality during the opening scenes of the battle at Antietam would allow the story of the 54th Massachusetts unit to be told without actually showing the gruesome violence that would meet them along their journey to respect.
		A second crucial element to Glory is Horner's employment of the Boys Choir of Harlem to accent the use of a full adult chorus throughout the score.
		That cue in particular is positioned in the film to be accentuated by the ceremonial firing of cannons as a (pseudo) tribute to the unit.

	Blu-ray Review: Glory Road \| High-Def Digest
		The film's color scheme is typical of sports films recently -- everything is bathed in a gold/amber light, I guess in an attempt to make the team's players look even more like glorified icons.
		Mixed in with the film grain appears to be large, alive areas of blockiness.
		Admittedly, 'Glory Road' is not that heavy on the surround activity, but I felt for this type of material this mix is about as good as it should be.

		Glory Road has its share of clichés and is fairly one dimensional character-wise, but nonetheless surprises as an absorbing film.
		While Glory Road is primarily the story of the fl players, it would have been more interesting to have the white characters explored as well.
		Glory Road is not on par with the great sports films, but is a worthwhile attempt to match them.

	The Reel Deal \| Movie Reviews by Mark Sells - Blades of Glory
		But apart from the concept and a handful of inside jokes, the film misses its opportunity to break away from the technical routine, earning solid marks, but not enough for the awards stand.
		In "Blades of Glory," Ferrell exaggerates the skating style of Elvis Stojko while adding his own quirks to create Chazz Michael Michaels, "an ice devouring sex machine?forged in the hell fires of Motown." At times, his performance is uncomfortably over-the-top; other times, just plain silly.
		In "Blades of Glory," the filmmakers and actors understand how to poke fun by embellishing the costumes, the behind the scenes drama, the fantasy, the broadcast spectacle, and the fan base.

		Film and military historian Lawrence H. Suid's updated version of Guts and Glory: The Making of the American Military Image in Film now includes images from the Persian Gulf war and the U.S. intervention in Somalia.
		As such, Guts and Glory is a study in cinematic sociology, with ramifications for political science.
		He lauds films such as The Killing Fields (1984) and Southern Comfort (1981) that stand "above the political issues" to let "the visual images of slaughter speak for themselves," and he addresses issues surrounding whether or not certain films proved effective or interesting, and why others did not.

		The manner in which Colonel Shaw dies in the movie is based on fact; his last words really were "Come on 54th!" before he was shot through the chest.
		At the end of the movie, a summary of the battle for Battery Wagner states "The fort was never taken." What the film meant to say is that the fort was never taken by direct assault.

	"Glory Road" (2006) / review and/or viewer comments - Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		The film opens with a collage of shots and images of the world of the mid 1960’s, setting the context of this unbelievable story so that the audience can understand the magnitude of the events that are about to take place.
		Glory Road is not only about an incredibly talented team but also pays respect to a coach that took a chance against the norm, challenging the belief systems of the day.
		Although Glory Road is clearly about white racism in American society in the 60’s it is also very careful to point out that racism was not an exclusive right to the white culture but to the fls as well.
