Movie Reviews of The Patriot (Special Edition)
Movie Review: The script needed a rewrite
Summary: 4 Stars
Because it had too many sub stories that does not propel the overall plot. And the endless slooooooow mooooooootioooooon all over the place, ack! Great Bloody action throughout to give it four stars. The only thing I don't like is that they don't have an option for me to be taken to those blood soaked splattered moments to relish. Come on! You telling me you came here to learn some American History?! On a Hollyweird production?! By a tree hugging hippie director from the euro side of delusion?!!! This is like trying to get Paul Verheoven(sp) to do a period pic. All he'd do is insert nazi asides to show you how corrupt those American/Euro/Romans where in the way back past.Movie Review: Intense, exciting
Summary: 4 Stars
Gibson plays a character who originally does not want to get involved until the Brits wipe out most of his family. It is more than a story of revenge; it's two minds at battle with each other. I don't see why the scene of the church could not have happened. The Brits at that time were at war with what they considered traitors. Gibson's character is full of fear, retribution and courage all at once. yes, there are other revolutionary war stories out there, but this one is a popular one and would open ones' eyes to search for more.Movie Review: The truth is usually more entertaining than fiction!
Summary: 3 Stars
Isaacs and Gibson both excell in this action filled movie.Unfortunately the theme of the movie was once again based on the 200 year old myth regarding the anti-hero Tavington(Banastre Tarleton)played by Jason Isaacs
Again branded as the villain Tarleton was a brilliant tactition who played the American militia at their own game and won.
Tarletons efficiency made him feared by the Americans but his tactics never reduced him to be the mind-less butcher that he is always portrayed as.
These tactics were reserved for the likes of Ben Cleveland and Light Horse Lee who were infinately more cruel but were almost always noticably absent when Tarleton was around.
In real life Tarleton died peacefully in his own bed in his 80th year and not on the end of Mel Gibsons bayonet.Pardon my soapbox but I feel that another opportunity has been missed to tell history as it was and now this movie is destined to live in the part of the bookshelf housing Grimms fairy tales etc
Movie Review: Mel Gibson's Best
Summary: 5 Stars
The Patriot has humor, romance and action to the hilt. I watch this many times and it is always good.Movie Review: Blu Ray Perfect for "The Patriot"
Summary: 5 Stars
The Patriot is another very good movie by Gibson ... entertaining, good plot, action, character development, and believable acting.
Blu Ray adds greatly to this movie with superior definition, color, depth, and much better audio and soundtrack. The extended cuts in this movie are value-added.
Certain movies are good candidates for Blu Ray; this is one of them.
