Title: Laughably Silly.
Product review: Viewed: 6/05Rate: 36/05: The Patriot is a cheesy extension of Braveheart. There is too much emphasis on ripping off Michael Mann's Last of the Mohicans, David Lean's works, William Wyler's Ben-Hur, and Edward Zwick's Legends of the Fall and Glory. It is so easy to identify the poor copies when comparing the action scenes to Last of the Mohicans. The story is boring. The acting is laughable. Well, everything about this film is totally laughable. I laughed literally when they burned down the church. Why not substitute Tim Roth for Tavington character? I could believe more. Heath Ledger is so poor in this film, resembling much of a cardboard-like kid. Mel Gibson, I know he can do better than this lurid piece of work.
