Hollywood seems to be interested in marketing its action films these days as historical dramas. The Patriot is a clear example of this trend. The story and characters in The Patriot are pure hollywood (in the worst possible way) and it... Full review

I, along with probably everyone else here, am a fan of this movie. I think Mel Gibson did a fantastic job with it, as did all of the adult actors in it. But what really made it over the top for... Full review

Full of lot's of action, it kept my interest, I can say that. The acting was mediocre, except for Mel Gibson. I can truthfully say that I felt like he was reading off of cue cards, especially during the long speeches.... Full review

Despite its 175 minutes (10 of them added for this Extended Cut release, presumably such things as axes in foreheads), "The Patriot" feels like a historical shortcut, a patchwork quilt with a few homilies stitched in.
Many others did, but I never got past the sense that these were actors acting in a drama that was trying awfully hard to be epic.

Instead of attempting a truly great film about the most pivotal years of American history, Emmerich settles for a standard revenge plot with the Revolutionary War as an incidental backdrop.
Aimed directly at a mainstream audience, The Patriot qualifies as respectable entertainment, but anyone expecting a definitive drama about the American Revolution should look elsewhere.
