Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Btexxamar I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

Iseerphia All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

jamiemgreen Ignore the bad reviews for this film. Yes, this film may be historically inaccurate in some way. But this is a masterpiece, one of the best films I have ever seen! Watch it! You will not be disappointed.

schwartzlola It's the story of a man, Benjamin Martin, plays by Mel Gipson, who is pacifist, doesn't like war because he know what it cost, and so he doesn't want to take part in the independance war but he's going to be forced to take part and he's going to make manythings inclued heroic action. It's also a strong family story: Benjamin Martin had lost his wife, and stay alone with he seven children with who he have very close link.I really liked this film for the psychological side of the the characters, very complex and complete. Moreover, the links between the characters of the family are so strong that it made me very sensitive and show the beautifulness of the family's love. It still some aspect that I didn't like in the film like violent action or when someone the film make you like dies. To conclued, I thing that The Partiot is a film that you should watch !

austinlsweeney So if you are looking for a movie about 100% historical facts, go watch a documentary. If you are looking for the best representation of the American Revolution from a Militia standpoint. Then watch the Patriot. Though understand that the story is fictional in itself. However the uniforms, mannerisms, battle observations, military movements and procedures of war are pretty accurate. I think what the Patriot does it get to the heart of why and how the Revolution was founded. It was founded on a desire to get Independence and a desire to prove that the British were not all they were cracked up to be. The Continental Army was unorganized in large part and barley battle ready at best. Meanwhile the British Army was the main powerhouse of the world and their Navy, boasting ships with 80 guns. If you want a movie that tells the story of a man who doesn't want to fight and then being forced to fight due to extreme measures taken by a reckless British Officer, then watch this. I think this evil officer in particular was inspired by the Scottish and German Mercenary armies who fought for the British and made the Americans run every time they got to the battle. They were also known for killing anyone who surrendered and raping American women. Not that the American hands were clean, but this inspired it for sure. Were all British evil? Absolutely not, and they actually speak to that in the movie, Cornwallis doesn't like the way one of his Officers acts. Do they sometimes show the British soliders as not being as skilled as they should be? Yes, but at the same time, that is one of the ways the Americans started to win, was not fight the way the British did. With order and Officers leading the way and always giving orders. The Americans took to Gorilla style warefare. Go read 1776 for some good knowledge. Overall, Good movie. Historically accurate in most parts. Does it show the British in a bad light at times, yes, but thats because its an American perspective on the war and we Americans don't really like being owned by another country.

areatw For a so-called historical drama, 'The Patriot' seems to care a lot less about presenting the facts and reality of the events of the American Revolution and more about smearing the British through lies and deception. Not only are the events portrayed in this film misleading and historically inaccurate, but some are completely fabricated. In one scene, for example, a British soldier burns a church full of Americans to the ground, something that never happened during the revolution.Presenting these events in a fictional context would be bad enough, but including them in what's supposed to be a true and accurate historic account is dangerous. It's also completely unnecessary, what exactly was Mel Gibson trying to achieve by distorting the truth, other than to vilify British soldiers? Unfortunately, Gibson's political bias shone through in this film, which is a great shame because it had potential.
