bad, bad movie, but you'll probably like it

Rating: 3/10 (19 April 2001)

My first comment blasted The Patriot so hard that the comment was rejected by IMDB.
All I'll say this time is that it's movies like this that EMBARRASS me as an American. It's movies like this that make citizens of other nations wonder just how big-headed Americans are. Once you strip away all the explosions and glitz, you'll see what amounts to a cliche-ridden, predictable, cheesey, braveheart wannabe. The movie is endlessly biased and historically inaccurate.
Nevertheless, I'm definitely a minority here. Out of the group of about 10 people I went with, I was the only one who truly hated the movie. The average American will praise this movie as a patriotic inspiration and a historical masterpiece.
