Painfully Too Long, And "The Chip" Was In It.

Rating: 2/10 (24 December 2000)

This is Mel Gibson's worst war movie, and another Gibson movie having a dig at the English because of a chip he seems to have on his shoulder. "Braveheart" was ten times better than "The Patriot", and "Gallipoli" was ten times better than "Braveheart". This makes for a very, very ordinary movie.
Mel (or as I like to call him "The Chip") needs to take a good hard look at himself in the future. People like Heath Ledger need to be shielded from "The Chips" growing extremist views, and his dictatorship of the Hollywood circus.
If "The Chip" makes a fourth war movie, no doubt England will cop it again, and we'll all be bored out of our brains like we were for his third installment. Yes, "The Patriot" was AWFUL.
