A Film of Epic Proportions On A Man Bigger Than Life

Rating: 10/10 (6 July 2005)

This film is one of the best I have seen in my entire life. I would personally rank it in the Top 100 or Top 50 films of all time.
It presents the viewer with an enlightened view of a General who was not given the credit he deserved in World War II; a General who was, in my considered opinion, resented by other generals mediocre at best.
George C. Scott gave a masterful performance as Patton and Karl Malden performed Omar Bradley with great skill as well. This is a film that I can re-watch time and time again.
We need more Pattons in our armed forces today and less Beedle Smiths, Dwight Eisenhowers et al.
I recommend this motion picture to anyone who values a military history film.
