Review of The Patriot

The Patriot (2000)
8/10
Not a total waste of time, just not great.
14 December 2000
Although this one isn't "Braveheart", one of the greatest war epics ever put on screen, I can't help but feel that part of "Braveheart" was ripped off in "The Patriot". How Ben Martin was pacifistic at the beginning of the story and was driven by revenge to join the fight. It is an entertaining enough movie and had some surprising twists in the plot. I also felt that Mel Gibson looked bored in the role. On the whole, I would recommend this. Mel is fun to watch in anything he does. I like his honesty. I'll give this 8 out of 10 stars.
