Patton [Blu-ray]

Everyone is good at something, music, basketball, nuclear physics, but what about fighting wars? Patton was that guy, a military tactical genius. Unfortunately, he also had no personal skills to get along with the other generals. A great historical look at a flawed hero during one of the world's great conflicts.

Fox has turned Patton into a video game by filtering out all grain and fine detail from the picture. Patton never looked like this till this HD transfer. It's completely unauthentic and does not show the film as intended and made by the film makers. Very bad revisionist HD mastering. Thumbs down, way down. I want to see Patton the film, not Patton the waxy, ultrasmooth video game.

All I can say is wow. Most blue-ray movies don't really wow me. That's why I find it so funny that a movie from the 70's looks better then most new movies on blue-ray. If you can even just rent the movie give it a shot. This blue-ray of patton brings new life into an old film. 10/10!!

Patton has got to be one of the most brillant movies ever made. It's one of the few, that has more truth than fiction of a great General. Not to much Hollywood hype. Great film.

Similar to "A Bridge Too Far" this is another movie that made the conscience decision to childishly insult our most important ally, the British, and to deride their distinguished military history. This movie gives the impression that Montgomery was losing in North Africa when Patton showed up, which is just assanine, and it also gives the impression that it was Montgomery's fault that we didn't get to Berlin before the Communists, when in fact it was completely Patton's immature egotism and stubborness that led to us being slowed down and not getting to Berline first. I'm not British but as someone who has just a basic understanding and appreciation of history and how important it is, this movie was one big jingoist slap in the face of anyone who cares to take World War II seriously. Hollywood is unbearable at times.
