Customer Reviews: Read 250 more reviews... A short historical review November 4, 2008mikelotus (ashburn, va United States) First let me say that I loved the acting and George C. Scott provided one of the greatest acting performances in a film. However, this movie is flawed, fatally flawed, when it comes to the real Patton. Yes, much is true, but much is from the perspective of a man, that we now know since his death and the availability of his writings, hated Patton. That person was the technical consultant on this movie and his name is General Omar Bradley. Without wishing to get into arguments on whom was right or wrong in a given situation since they were both typical generals and therefore prim a donas, the one-sided perspective in this movie always leaves a bad taste in my mouth. For example, Bradley hated Montgomery as much as Patton and would speak it but we never see this in the movie since Bradley evidently thought it would make him look bad. If Patton disagreed with Bradley while under his command, he would suck it up. Bradley was known to complain to Eisenhower and Alexander. Bradley was simply wrong about Patton's actions on Sicily. Given the constraints Monty put him under, he did a remarkable job of trying to kill Germans as much as possible and limit their escape from the island. At the Bulge, both Eisenhower and Bradley were caught with their pants down big time and instead of harping on that, Patton was ready to go with a plan that helped turn the battle into a huge Allied victory. Patton was a meticulous planner who never sacrificed the lives of his troops for personal glory. He understood that the quicker the war ended, the less men would die.  Patton Great Movie done before PC Folks Got a hold of History November 2, 2008Richard Streiff (Saugus, Ca United States) One of the best war movies of all time, back in Blue Ray. Had it in the old DVD style but a must have in Blue Ray Patton should have been watched in high resolution years ago. November 2, 2008H. Jea This is a good war movie with wide landscape view from one scene to another. I have enjoyed this movies in wide screen in theaters since I was a child. High resolution version just brings back all the good memory and saw all details audience deserves to see at home. Great Movie. Bummer Pricing October 27, 2008F. Laird This is a great classic movie. However, one week after I ordered, Amazon dropped the price $4.00 or about 33%. Bummer. one of best movies ever made October 27, 2008c. b. (franklin,tn usa) terrific cinematograpy. superb acting. academy award winning performance by george c. scott. story line, with a little artistic license, for the most part is historically accurate. what more needs to be said. | |||||||||||
