The patriot is a great movie. The story is set during the Revolutionary War. Gibson goes off to fight the war and tries hard to make his son "Heath Ledger". Change his mind about wanting to join the army to defend his country.
Pros: Gibson and Ledger's acting are solid, good storyline, History is accurate Cons: Maybe a little to long for some
Overall this is a good movie not much if any profanity unlike like most movies now. The history of this movie is accurate. The movie makes you think about our military and how they go into danger for us.
War is heck, and bloody. This part of the American Revolution is not glossed over, but that the concepts of freedom and liberty are at the core of the war - concepts which we, today, do not know any longer. With freedom, and with liberty come responsibility, and the "Patriot" sets the stage for early America as it delves into these concepts for the first time as a country.
This is an excellant movie, one of Mel Gibson's best. It is set back during the war for independance. It has an all star cast and the detail in the costumes and props are right on. But that is what we expect from a Gibson film. Heath Ledger was his eldest son and turns in an explosive performance. I would recomend this film to aqnyone. My son's school showed it in US history this year as a staple of the curriculum. I think it is a good way to show our teens that the freedom they enjoy now was not free, but was built on the sacrifices of our ancestors.
This is one of my favorite films. Its a dramatic recreation of a time when the US was becoming great. The action never slows down and the story just keeps coming. Still not sure Blu-ray is worth it. A good up converting dvd player provides similar quality on 720P and 1080i.
GREAT OLD TIME WAR MOVIE!!! I like the aspect of how it was back then and how they showed it throughout the film.. I would say it is a must buy for anyone that likes a good old war movie..
Many features enacted throughout aroused memorys of realism. Appreciate its a movie. Hate, grief, love, envy, all were depicted by some good actors. It had some shortcomings, but on the whole was very good.
I have the movie in both regular dvd format, and now blu-ray. NO COMPARISON! The battle scenes and overall quality of the blu-ray version is light years ahead of the standard dvd.
excellent experience. fast easy delivery. reasonable chap with all the joy a tranaction can provide. I think this new requriment is quite absurb. WHo thought this wanker of an idea up.
The transfer to Blu-ray is pretty good though not top notch as everyone should know by now that older movies are JUST NOT going to look as good as newer ones.
For the movie itself, it is Great and obviously very Patriotic. From the A-list acting to the, writing, cinematography, etc. etc. This is hands down one of Mel Gibson's best parts and at times its just as good as Braveheart.
First, I'm a HUGE Mel Gibson fan. This movie is a classic! Though I would say it's really for the 17+ crowd. I loved this movie when it came out...and on Bluray...WOW! You see so much more...right down to the delicate embroidery in the costumes!!! I bought this for my husband's birthday, as it's also one of his favorites...he's THRILLED! Lastly, the price was right...we live in a small town where the Bluray selection leaves a lot to be desired. So Ebay has been awesome for selection and price...
i really loved the movie and i'm very ill and when my wife left seh took everything. i'm disabled. And i was looking for blurays and found the patriot, which again i love, so i bought it. I hope this is what you were lookinjg fjor. Thanks for asking me to write one. porter

This is a really good movie. If you liked Braveheart you should like this one too. Actors are very good. The storyline is very good. Good guy and girl movie. Touches your heart but also has lots of action and drama.
One of the best movies of all time, and a must have in any collection. The Blueray version beats any other version I had owned before, clear and amazing.
