Summary: Quite possibly the greatest American war movie ever made!
Review: Never before has war been depicted on such a grand scale: the complexity of battle sequences, emotionally powerful performances, and truly magnificent, unerring storylines. Patton is to be hailed as the crowning achievement of American war movies. I've seen it a hundred times and plan to see it a hundred times a hundred times over.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing movie

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the greatest war films of all time. A masterpiece!
Review: George C. Scott's defining role. He was born to play Patton. You couldn't seperate the Patton out of future roles he played. An excellenct script tells well the tale of the battle, not only between the Allies and the Nazis, but between Patton and Montgomery- a rivalry that history has said cost many allied lives in these egotistical generals quest for glory. The battle scenes were ahead of their time, though (sorry "Private Ryan" fans) not as gory as modern make-up and editing can make them. So many great lines uttered throughout this flick. But the best line related to this movie came not in the movie, but at the Academy Awards when Scott in denying his award for best actor submitted a message explaining, he couldn't accept an award that compared his performance to other actors'. How true.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very Good Very Real Film
Review: I recently completed a research report on the most intelligent American General to date. This movie was an incredible help along with the fact that most of it is true, and it was based on many of Pattons Biographies. it is a great war movie if your not interested in learning about him, but if you are interested in Patton the Man it can easily handle that as well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Patton: Strongly Written!
Review: A few thoughts to consider while viewing this movie:

Note that Patton, a firm believer in his own reincarnation as the "eternal romantic warrior" forgoes inspecting a battlefield in North Africa where is troops have just fought. Instead, how is he eerily (& accurately) compelled to an acient site where Rome fought the legions of Carthage?

Note also the last scene of the movie in which he is alone walking towards a windmill. Strong allusions here to Don Quixote, mental malaise around a sense of honour in battle, and again his belief in his historical destiny as the "eternal romantic warrior".

Any lit major will have a field day with this movie if they view it critically.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must-have movie for any truly patriotic American!
Review: This movie has the ability to stir up the most heart-felt, hell-bent-for-leather, undying patriotic sentiments in the viewer. When General Patton takes the podium in front of that massive 48-starred flag, you feel that through such leadership such as his, this country could do no wrong, then and now. His most-inspiring speech, albeit condensed from the original speech that Patton gave his troops in England at the end of May, 1944, mesmerizes me again and again, making me feel as though I'm one of those troops whom he is addressing. I have always loved this speech: it sums up certain American attitudes in a highly testosterone-charged manner. The movie covers the history of his leadership rather well, considerign its overview format. The viewer gets the idea, however, that the General was not only a fanatically devoted patriot, but also a brilliant strategist, a cunning field general, a pious man of prayer, a compassionate leader to those brave men who were injured or killed, and a masterful motivator. The viewer can also learn through this movie how the roles of diplomats forced upon generals hindered the Allied effort, especially Patton's. One of the battle scenes where the tanks ran out of gas because the had to supply more gasoline to Montgomery's army is an indisputable testimony to that fact. George C. Scott's performance was brilliant, real, and exhilerating. Through his performance, he convinces the viewer not that he is portraying Patton, but that he IS Patton. In conclusion, this movie continues to be one of my favorites, and it never fails to reassure my undying patriotism. Without a doubt, this biographical film does justice to the reputation of one of the greatest military minds of all time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the funniest Movies
Review: "The man's in good with the Lord and I want to give him a medal." This is the mother of all war films. Scott gives a great performance of a arrogant man, but a dang good soldier. The movie is great from the motivational speech at the first to the getting close to run over by a ox cart. I have seen this film over 20 times. Almost as good as Star Wars.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: More than EXCELLENT
Review: I have watched this movie for at least 6 times. This movie is more than excellent and it is 10000000 times better than the Titanic.
