Customer Reviews of The Patriot [Region 2]

Braveheart Redone
Yes, it was. Braveheart taken to a different century and country. Otherwise, it's pretty much the same movie. -Shrugs.- I think Mel has something against the English. <
> <
>Oddly enough, the best part of this movie was the English, vilified character of Colonel William Tavington, played by one of my top two actors, Jason Isaacs. Isaacs has always been a phenomenal actor, and this time, I think, he saved this movie from flopping. <
> <
>The coolest thing about this movie was Tavington's Green Dragoons... or was it his long silky brown hair... or was it his accent? Hmm. It's a little of everything, I think. <
> <
>Anyway. Great movie for the sake of seeing Isaacs in another awesome role. <
>Gibson? Not so much. See Braveheart.

Never irk a peaceful man!
Director Roland Emmerich is used to conduct big budget movies. He usually delivers good pieces of work as "Independence Day" (1996) and "The Day After Tomorrow" (2004). <
>"The Patriot" (2000) is arguably his best film up to today. <
> <
>The story centers on a peaceful American that abhors war due to his past experiences. In an incident, one of his teenage sons is murdered by a British officer. This event drives him mad and he launches "all-out" guerrilla warfare, rallying his neighbors into active resistance. <
> <
>Mel Gibson is fleshing again a patriotic hero enraged by injustice as in "Braveheart" (1995). He has the knack for doing it; viewers will empathize with his character. His performance is high quality. <
>The supporting cast is very good, all his sons & daughters especially Heath Ledger and Skye McCole are great. Joely Richardson as Charlotte Shelton his sister-in-law and later fiancé; Tcheky Karyo as Jean Villeneuve the French officer; Jason Issacs as Col. William Tavington the "bad guy" of the film; Adam Baldwin as Capt. Wilkins and last but not least Tom Wilkinson as Gen. Cornwallis flesh their characters very believable. <
>Reconstruction of the period is very accurate. Battles are filmed with sure hand, very good visual effects and outstanding coordination of mass movements. <
>It is a great movie for history buffs and general public. <
>Reviewed by Max Yofre. <
