Bloody, overlong and straining for significance ...

Often melodramatic and manipulative but it is solid, involving filmmaking so one willingly takes the ride it offers.

Many graphic battle scenes, not for all teens.

Deserves a salute as the first Hollywood epic about the American Revolution to successfully blend ferocity and feeling.

I enjoyed the strength and conviction of Gibson's performance, the sweep of the battle scenes, and the absurdity of the British caricatures.

Make no mistake about it: The Patriot is a cartoon, even if it does have real people playing the parts.

While his hero is conscience-stricken about killing, Emmerich sure enjoys serving it up in generous helpings.

A grand yarn with a sense of the weight of history and an awareness that the winners are often those who have lost the most.

As long as it stays on the battlefield, The Patriot is a brutishly compelling broad-canvas entertainment.

Emmerich's battle scenes may look authentic to anyone who has ever stared hard at a history book, but in every other way the film is long, empty and bogus.
