IMO Lincoln could have been better with a lower budget

The whole movie tried way too hard.
The lighting was unnatural constant and distracting. Every face was side lit and overly contrasted. You could sense the harsh cold fluorescent white lights blaring from out of view. Every backdrop was packed to the gills with extras. I like very much both James spader and Tommy Lee jones but would have preferred no names, more no names, less money. The score was cliche symphonic “best picture” vibes. Just didn’t like it. It was a movie equal to Joseph Gordon levitt’s (one of my least favorite actors) acting, always over.
