Amazing movie!!

Rating: 9/10 (11 May 2008)

This movie is absolutely amazing, it has all the elements of a work of art. This movie is guaranteed to play with every emotion you possess, and though some will comment saying that the thematic elements are shallow and predictable, I disagree, yes the whole patriotic, die for the land you stand on theme is a bit cliché, what about the underlying themes like self sacrifice, vulnerability, revenge, and morals. This movie is extremely entertaining and an extreme pleasure to watch, and though it is historically inaccurate, this is Hollywood, when was the last time anyone in that industry picked up a history text book? so instead of going to a movie, knowing that it will be historically inaccurate, and then criticizing it for living up to your expectations; take this movie for what it is, an extremely entertaining piece of art, and leave the historical accuracy for the text books....
Well done Mel Gibson!!! and the rest of the cast, you set the standards for what acting should be!!!
