Title: Good & Bad
Product review: There is much that is annoying about the Patton 360 series. As some have noted the repeated CGI scenes detract from the audio telling of the story. Your ears hear something new going on, but the scene is from another battle depicted previously. Also when this series was originally telecast it may have made sense to remind the viewer with flashbacks of something previously shown a week or two before, but if you are watching the programs, not week to week, but maybe one right after the other, the flashbacks are boring. So why give this series four stars? Simply because it presents meaningfully much background that I have not seen or read before. This series raises the most interesting of questions. Had Eisenhower not held Patton back in order to feed Montgomery's quest for glory would there ever have been a Battle of the Bulge? There is much to suggest that with Patton the Germans would have not had time to mount a winter offensive.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
