Overall, the movie wasn’t bad. It was fairly entertaining, and the cast was made up of some pretty awesome actors, like Jason Isaacs (always playing the bad guy) and Rene Auberjonois. However, the romance was cliché. I had a sinking feeling of dread that Ben and Aunt Charlotte would get together the first time they stood in the same vicinity as each other. And so it was. Then we have Benjamin Martin not willing to fight the British, but when his son is killed we see him go into ''Action Hero Rambo'' mode where he beats down twenty redcoats with a little help from his younger sons. That was definitely in the vein of Hollywood revenge/action flicks of the... well, for many years now. And let's not talk about those parenting skills. --Taylor Brann | Overall, the movie wasn’t bad.

| + | The naivete and childish humor of Heath Ledger and Lisa Brenner's romance really detracted from the mood and flow of the film. I don't necessarily want a dour, atmospheric nightmare vision of the Revolutionary War, but I don't want a cheeky RomCom either. -Cash Nelson | ||
