A Great MOVIE

Rating: 9/10 (29 August 2004)

What a good MOVIE!!--Movie is the key word here, everyone needs to stop expecting so much out of a MOVIE.. its as if the public is expecting to see actual footage from a war fought hundreds of years ago! You know your watching a movie, stop putting so many expectations on things and you may just enjoy them more. Now that thats been said lets move on to the movie:
"The Patriot" has a perfect blend of genre's creating not only a atmosphere of a great action-war movie but the feel of a great love story, and the bonds of family. "Braveheart" is known as one of Gibson's best movies (well deserved recognition), however I do believe that "The Patriot" was extremely under-rated. Unlike Gibson's "Braveheart", The Patriot does not only deal with the war aspect, but instead drifts off to explore many more underlying plots. This movie is not only ideal for a war-movie buff, but also to a woman who is known only to like the "chick flick" type movies. Be prepared to cry and laugh..(stock up on tissues!).
