Prehaps the worst movie I've seen in the last 10 years

Rating: 1/10 (24 April 2005)

This was the most over long, not good enough to be a TV mini-series (except in length), piece of garbage. I found it to be manipulative, sentimental tripe. Historically it was simply ridiculous. 2 3/4 hours I'll never get back. Mel Gibson can get any movie made if they'll make "The Patriot". The idea that the British were on a level of evil with the Nazis is idiotic. Setting this movie in the Carolinas, where there was 50% black slave population and then not even adressing the issue, again shows a level of ignorance that is really startling. It's like they made this junk up as they went along. I suppose Gibson is so well established and the audience so ignorant he can get away with it.
