reminds me of another movie...

Rating: 7/10 (29 July 2000)

Comparisons to Braveheart are too obvious to make, but The Patriot also reminds me of another recent film - Gladiator. There's at least a few parallels: good visuals, convenient ending, lack of historical accuracy. So watching either of them is the same kind of experience.
So basically, if you like Gladiator, you'll probably like this movie and vice versa. Both are worth a viewing, both are somewhat moving, both are ultimately not that memorable. 7/10 (a point less than I gave Gladiator, true, but that's because I found The Patriot's score a little too generic)
