Good, but not great.

Rating: 8/10 (3 August 2000)

Really great dramas leave you speechless. Good dramas you leave wondering why your not. This was a good movie. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it thoroughly, but it was missing something. There is just something about a movie like Braveheart or (don't laugh) Titanic that just rips your guts apart. They made me cry, as where I never came close in the Patriot. The pain and the joy just didn't come through for some reason. At almost three hours long, I can't see myself watching it again anytime soon, as where I've watched Braveheart a dozen times, thrice in the theater. That said, it beats the hell out of 85% of the movies I see.
