Pros: great plot
Cons: very violent and bloody, which can be bad for some people
I went to see The Patriot the day it came out, because it was another movie starring Mel Gibson and I just had to see it. I was very pleased with the way it came out, and think that it is definitely worth seeing. I think The Patriot measures up about...

Pros: Great acting, special effects
Cons: Another Braveheart
Make no doubt this film rides on Gibson and on the acting front he certainly delivers. Two scenes especially involving his youngest daughter and his eldest son Gabriel really show off how good the guy is at performing. Nevertheless because he is there...

Pros: acting and story-line
Cons: really nothing, kind of long I guess, but worth the time!
"The Patriot" is a movie based on the American Revolution. It stars Mel Gibson and Heath Ledger. This is a movie that I had been looking forward to see for so long that when I was finally got ready to see it my excitement and expectations...

Pros: Patriotic Schmoltz
Cons: Contrived plot
The measure of truth in a country’s history really depends on who’s telling you the history. The English recounting of the colonies insurrection is quite a different story from the telling of our country’s patriotic revolution from the oppression of...

Pros: list too lang
Cons: can't find one
A movie review without the goo.
My mother and I took our lunch hour this afternoon to see ‘The Patriot’. I had heard the regulars commenting on how it would be some sort of ‘Bravehart’ meets ‘Paul Revere’. Of course I heard a lot of things...

Pros: fresh subject matter, overall quality
Cons: a few stereotypical roles, corny jokes
You will doubtless hear the naysayers bashing this flick before they've even seen it, claiming it is just another BraveHeart, that it is historically innacurate, that it is a "formula film" etcetera ad nauseum.
Well I have seen it,...

Pros: Action
Cons: A little generic
You wouldn't think a movie this patriotic could be put together by a German(Director Roland Emmerich) and two Australians(Gibson and Ledger) still, it was a movie that made you rush home to listen Jimi Hendrix' version of the Star Spangled Banner from...

Pros: Scenery, Costume, Acting
Cons: Predictable Story, TOO LONG
Perfectly decorated with perfect costumes, flawless scenery, war scenes that replicate the original with excellence, the Patriot is a well rounded Revolutionary War epic. It's story is both tragic and lightly satisfying, and it takes you through...

by rexhopper , Oct 03 '00
Pros: Mel Gibson and brilliant direction
Cons: Too numerous to mention
"'Braveheart Clone' Causes Brit-Fit"
The English are in a snit over certain elements in Mel Gibson's latest release, The Patriot. And rightfully so.
The film characterizes a British officer...

Pros: Costumes, cinematography, and battles are great. Fair story and very able cast.
Cons: More dramatic than was really necessary
I've spent long hours contemplating how Roland Emmerich could ever work his way back into my good graces after such dismal films as "Independence Day" and "Godzilla."
This movie put an end to those thoughts.
For...

by Valentina , Jul 09 '00
Pros: Goes beyond the surface to provide a deeper (philisophical?) look at patriotism
Cons: Warning- empty your bladder prior to viewing
I saw this movie because I respect Mel Gibson as one of the greatest actors of our day. I think one of the main reasons that I respect him so much is for his ability to choose movie scripts such as this one. I was not disappointed.
The...

Pros: Heath Ledger
Cons: Long, not well developed.
Gah. Erf.
I was on my way to snoring blissfully in the theatre during this film. The only thing that saved me from doing so was the appearance of the beautifully sexily beautiful Heath Ledger, who plays the eldest son (Gabriel) of Mel...

by reckreatiun , Jul 14 '00
Pros: Great characters, wonderful story plot, Mel Gibson at his absolute best.
Cons: Could have been more accurate/education in its approach of telling a story about Revolutionary War.
Mel Gibson hits huge with The Patriot in revolutionary proportions. Hollywood's version of fictional characters involved in the historical Revolutionary War between America and England is truly a must see.
Of course, this production was merely...

by Glorybot , Nov 03 '00
Pros: An "American" Braveheart, enough said.
Cons: Not as long as it's Scottish counterpart.
I am Glorybot, and this is about one of the most powerful movies I've ever seen. It's a lot like Braveheart, but a lot better... In this movie, Mel Gipson plays a colonial father who's wife has recently passed away and is still getting over the...
