dreadful

Rating: 1/10 (29 March 2006)

I have only ever seen bits of this movie and this was enough for me to never bother to watch a Mel Gibson film again.I thought Braveheart was bad enough,but here he sinks even lower,the villains are now portrayed like a Nazi regime,is he trying to say something?Of coarse he is not very popular in England any more,people are now beginning to wake up and see the way he is persecuting us in films,he has done it to many times now,its so obvious..If Hollywood wants to make a film about American Independence thats fine with me,its history,but what Hollywood shouldn't do is pass trash like this,thats totally inaccurate,insults peoples intelligence,and portrays the enemy as an evil regime,rather than soldiers in the line of duty,after all they all died fighting the cause,so to suggest they were all as evil as can be is rather evil in its self.Hollywood should know better than this.As for Mel Gibson as the patriot,what sort of patriot is he first his American,then Australian,then American again,then suddenly becomes Scottish what next? Eurotrash.I know we are not supposed to be spiteful on this website,but then how can you help it,besides I'm English,and were supposed to be evil.If the film had told the true story of American Independence,i would have found it really interesting not offensive,to us its almost a forgotten piece of history,but we were badly underestimated in that the film makers thought we were going to believe this s..t we know what our fellow ancestors were capable of and what they weren't,all those who love this film are welcome to live in ignorance, its not teaching anyone anything only how to do Brit bashing in the 21st century.The film was selfishly made for an American audience it was meant for Brits to hate it why?its a shame Hollywood cant move on from its obvious racist tendencies,and make films that will be universally liked,instead of rooting for some sort of propaganda or other no wonder the worlds in such a mess just look at Hollywood .
