For a war film was way too nansy pansy

Rating: 1/10 (11 February 2006)

Patton I'm sure was an interesting guy.
Hell maybe even more interesting than me.
I'll even be as bold to say he might have accomplished more in his time than me too.
But that doesn't mean I want to see a movie on the guy! The only reason I had to watch it was it was on my to do list. It was only on my to do list because it won best picture. Which makes me now wonder why the hell?
The movie isn't as much about Patton as it is an anti war movie. Anti war not only in its message but anti war in the fact that its just a bad war movie. What war? The movie spends to much time looking at Patton. Given the title that can be forgiven. To a point!
Given my now greater understanding of the man I'm sure he would prefer a movie about him to be more about war. Hell I bet his favorite all time war cinematic experience would be watching Band of Brothers.
If you want a war experience watch Band of Brothers. If you want a nansy pansy depiction of what was really a tough man watch Patton.
Thanks Coppala for giving your soft feminine touch to Patton.
Scott was amazing as Patton though BTW.
