After 30 minutes I could watch no more... the movie was quickly turning into a kids' super hero movie. It reached an early climax when Benjamin Martin's (Gibson), with the help of his two young boys (ages 6-10?), ambush a British unit marching through the woods. During the ambush the British look like bumbling fools who can't shoot, while Martin and his boys can't miss. Martin soon engages in hand to hand combat. The fight scene was ridiculously unbelievable. Martin takes on 3-4 Red Coats at a time and finds a way to kill each one. This is an action movie for adolescents and not a historical drama.

Mel Gibson is one of those actors who never dissolves into the character. You are always seeing Mel Gibson. The scenes are spectacular and Brattonsville SC is a real place but that was it for me.

So many google play movie critics...its a good movie its hollywood not real stop comparing the 2. want real?? Make a time machine
