Review of The Patriot (2000) by Peter A — 02 Aug 2013

I finally saw this after many years and I wish I had never got around to it. Once the main titles began and I found out that this was a Roland Emmerich film I knew that I was about to be very disappointed.

The first half was pretty enjoyable, but the last 90 minutes is about as horribly melodramatic as anything could get. I was hoping to find a scene here or there that I could show my 8th graders, but all I found were groans and unintentional laughter.

Huge disapointment.
