Movie Reviews of The Patriot (Special Edition)
Movie Review: The Patriot is like Saving Private Ryan: But is it better?
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this movie opening day, and who could blame me? The previews were running constantly, promoting the movie that made Braveheart look terrible. From the beginning of the film to the very end, The Patriot was amazing. It wrapped you into it so much that I was afraid to go to the bathroom or leave because I didn't want to miss anything. Although it got a little stretched out at points (but it wasn't as long as Saving Private Ryan), The Patriot still was very entertaining. The battle scenes were magnificent. I wanted to chear when the Americans were taking out the British army. Along with the great action scenes, it actually had some very funny humor, which was mostly Mel Gibson a.k.a. Benjamin Martin, playing tricks on the British soldiers.
Now don't get me wrong, the Patriot isn't a comedy movie. Actually, it was very sad. But of course, I didn't cry. If you're a guy, (like me) you might want to avoid this movie because of the sad scenes. DON'T! You may think that it's going to be one of those sad movies...it is sad, but loaded with action and war scenes to over satisfy you when you leave the theater.
If you in any way liked Saving Private Ryan, I'm sure you'll like the Patriot just as much. But is it better than Steven Spielberg's masterpiece? Not quite. But coming from a huge Steven Spielberg fan, I have to admit that this is as close to SPR as you can get. So go and see The Patriot, you won't be disappointed. Come on, what's better to see? Gone in Sixty Second! Give me a break!
