flag waving patriotic piece of junk

Rating: Null/10 (31 May 2002)

I must admit that i didn't expect this movie to be bad when i started watching. It started pretty OK but after that it was all downhill... To see Mel Gibson wave a flag in slow-motion ten minutes in a row is enough for anyone but the american average watcher to throw up or at least shut down the TV...I'm so sick and tired of these Hollywood movies about historical events. This movie is to make americans feel good about their selves. Watching an american slaughter an entire company of british soldiers was a very one-sided part of the movie. The british are looked upon as heartless creatures without a free will.
Next time someone makes a movie about a historical event, study a bit and learn about the background. And please...No Flag-waving-in-slow-motion-while-playing-the-american-national-anthem-scenes ...
