Braveheart meets Maverick

Rating: Null/10 (22 July 2000)

This is two movies rolled into one. On the one hand, you have a serious war movie. On the other hand, you have a really corny mess, with bad attempts at comedy. This movie starts out good, but as time wears on, it becomes more and more sappy. It shouldn't be a surprise that this movie would degenerate into a brainless "Hollywood" movie. After all it was produced and directed by the guys who gave us "Independence Day" and "Godzilla". And written by the writer of "Saving Private Ryan". "Glory" was a quality film that did a good job capturing the Civil War. This movie does the opposite for the Revolutionary War.
