Wonderful war movie

Rating: 8/10 (25 June 2014)

Patton is a great biographical account of one of WW2's most enigmatic Generals. Confirming the view that 60's and 70's war movies are better than modern incarnations. They were able to capture the atmosphere of war better back then..
This movie is free of the propaganda that is in many war movies that depict the Nazis as barbarians and the allies as liberators. Patton is correctly depicted as a man of the military. He even admits it during the movie unlike Montgomery,Bradley or Eisenhower who have different attitudes.
Patton is seen more like an officer of the Afrika Korp than an Allied General. This movie does a great job in being true to form in portraying him and showing the viewer the mind set of the General who is clearly not a fan of ceremonial military forces but a force that can repel attack and launch daring Napoleonic warfare against enemy forces.
This movie is well worth seeing.
