whatever happened to originality?

Rating: Null/10 (1 July 2001)

Although I am English born and bred and proud of it I take no offence from The Patriot.This is because I know this is just another American flag waving film that most foreigners and some Americans will just laugh at.A film made by Hollywood and involves American history.What I am saying is when a film is made by Hollywood and involves American history you can only expect a few things.These are as follows: 1).Americans are always the hero's . 2).Americans are all good and always but always play by the rules. 3).You can expect lots of flag waving and cliches.
But like me most of you probably already know this.
Anyway,the Patriot was just another film basically made for the average loud mouthed septic tank.Overall though if you have only one braincell you will probably find this film original and entertaining.If your not American you will probably just think , oh no not again. 5 out of 10 , but only as a cure for insomnia.
