Rating: Summary: In times of peace, prepare for War Review: Ladislas Farago wrote the definitive biography of General George S. Patton back in the 70's.... which was the book upon which the film with George C. Scott was based. Even though Patton is a little older, fatter and wiser in this film, it still coveys the historical accuracy of the general's final days. Scott's portrayal of Patton has lost none of its personality and deserves its rightful place as volume two of the Patton story.
Rating: Summary: last days of PATTON Review: This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. If you are a war fan you have to see it. It has a very sad ending thought. Buy it.
Rating: Summary: good follow up Review: this movie is not a academy award winner, but documents the life after the war in germany, and general patton's need to still be a effective leader even with the buracey of post ar germany. this movie fill's in the gap's after the opriginal 1970 movie. the dvd is a decent version, but needs to be cleaned upa bit.

Rating: Summary: Weak film Review: What a waste of time. They stick fish hooks in his jaw and for two amd a half hours you get to watch G. C. Scott with fish hooks in his jaw mumble weak lines about a person he never met. And my DVD copy is blurry. What a bore.
Rating: Summary: The last days of patton Review: Where/How can I purchase a copy of this VHS video film in the UK for use in the UK?Your assistance would be appreciated.
Rating: Summary: A MUST see for all Patton fans Review: While this movie is not a spectacular as the original, it is a great movie to watch for those who saw the original. It is a sort of "anti" climax to the first, where we see that after the war is over, the work only then begins. Very realistic, and very accurate. George C. Scott's character even refers to his only battle scar, on his buttock, in addition to his boyhood church at San Gabriel. It was hard to watch the medical scenes, that is how realistic it was, with medical equipment reflecting the accurate time era. It is too bad that the DVD has no extra features, other than chapter selections.
