Emmerich's battle scenes may look authentic to anyone who has ever stared hard at a history book, but in every other way the film is long, empty and bogus.
Make no mistake about it: The Patriot is a cartoon, even if it does have real people playing the parts.
A grand yarn with a sense of the weight of history and an awareness that the winners are often those who have lost the most.
Deserves a salute as the first Hollywood epic about the American Revolution to successfully blend ferocity and feeling.
I enjoyed the strength and conviction of Gibson's performance, the sweep of the battle scenes, and the absurdity of the British caricatures.
As long as it stays on the battlefield, The Patriot is a brutishly compelling broad-canvas entertainment.
Audience Reviews for The Patriot
Flawed, but works alright if you've nothing better to do.
Super Reviewer
I'm ashamed to admit that I really, really like this film considering who the director is. So let me say that the film drags in lots of places. And the acting, while good, is not excellent. I encourage rental as opposed to purchase.
