I saw it not really wanting to go watch it [would have preferred to see 300, and hopefully Dad and I will].
When the movie ended, I said to Dad, "We need to get this on DVD."
I loved the dialogue; it was very snappily written and delivered.
Ingy: I don't think they "glossed over" his Christianity. Did they make it the central theme of the movie or beat you over the head with it? No, they did not. But they did, IMO, make a good point about it. The early part of the movie is about his question of whether he should serve God or go into politics, and the answer given was that he could do both. His scenes with Newton, as I recall, reminded the audience of the part Christianity played in his life and motivations, and these were spaced throughout the whole movie. YMMV, I guess.
Top-notch film, at any rate. Go watch it ASAP if you haven't already.
