Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
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.

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

fresh:
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.

fresh:
Deserves a salute as the first Hollywood epic about the American Revolution to successfully blend ferocity and feeling.
– Peter Travers,
Rolling Stone,
10 May 2001
rotten:
A movie of cornball sentiment, humorously anachronistic dialogue, and expensive Colonial Williamsburg sets.
