Not too Shabby!

Rating: 7/10 (13 July 2006)

This film was OK. Though it was not too historically accurate or realistic, the Revolutionary War buffs will still love it. The fight scenes and ambushes are the most entertaining part of this movie. The fight scenes are extremely well made and are not in the least bit watered down. The best part of this movie was when the guy got beheaded by the cannon ball. It was so gruesome and real! The low point of this movie was the initial ambush by Benjamin Martin. Though he was craving revenge for his lost son, the British soldiers were extremely bad actors. They just watched Benjamin Martin run through the trees without firing a shot, and seemed to be confused that all of the shots were not coming from one area. Other than this (which was still a good scene) the movie was really good. Occam and Dan Scott also get honorable mention for being awesome characters. I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone. Just don't nit-pick it apart - it's not a documentary! An overall fun movie. 7.5 / 10
