Sheen did a phenomenal job as Lee and today when I think of Lee I see Sheens face.

That entire movie was special, and Sheen's portrayal of Lee was spot on.

Sheen’s portrayal was wonderful. The scene of him on the horse as the troops cheer him on brings me to tears every time I see it and my mother’s family fought for the Union at Gettysburg.

Love him or hate him, R.E.Lee was a man to be respected and listened to at the very least.

I think it was very profound what Sheen said about giving the command to send men to be slaughtered. What it must have done to Lee, Longstreet, Pickett as well as Northern Generals. I think Sheen’s portrayal of Lee was exceptional.

The gold standard of Robert E. Lee on film. An absolutely perfect performance by Martin Sheen. If you read about Lee, especially the biography by Freeman, it becomes clear that Sheen captured his essence to a tee.

It is said that Martin Sheen, playing Robert E. Lee, had a kind of <b>spiritual moment</b> in the film: Gettysburg. In a scene just before Pickett's Charge, General Lee (Sheen) is riding his horse thru the Confederate troops (re-enactors) as they respond with cheering (as it was planned for movie). However, this cheering grew to became so tumultuous that it rose to the level of the actual event. It both shocked Martin Sheen and intimidated him to feel the love of the troops for Lee. .{also in retrospect was a compliment to his portrayal of Lee}

Dayum, what a professional. Just awestruck watching him effortlessly switch to Lee's drawl and then to JFK's Boston accent. Amazing actor.

I think Martin Sheen portrayed Lee very closely to what Lee probably was, A very humble, religious gentleman, still possessing a fierce temper when provoked, such as when he rebuked Jeb Stuart after his disappearing act.
