Stupendous...the PERFECT film

Rating: 10/10 (2 July 2000)

If you see one movie at all in your life from here on out...go and see this amazing film!!!!!! Come Oscar time I would bet that you will see this film on Best Picture, Best Costumes, Best Actor, Best screenplay...the list goes on. What I love most about The Patriot is that it is a throw back to glamorous epics...Ben-Hur, Gone With The Wind, Lawrence of Arabia...DeMille must be smiling in his grave. There is no sex, limited swearing...and not surprisingly...a fantastic achievement. maybe the studios will perk up their ears and see what movies should be about again. Wow! What a cast! This film is the epitome of ensemble acting...from Gibson to the children to Rene A. (Clayton from Benson)fabulous, effortless..these are words I would use to praise this film. GO SEE THIS FILM!!!!!The battle scenes alone will help you to find a new seat on the edge of your chair. Wait until you see the smoky imagery at the Battle of Cowpens...it will leave you wanting more and not wanting the film to end.
