From a historical perspective, it was an interesting movie. We enjoyed seeing the life that a World War II General may have led. However, overall it was slow and Patton was a tough character to root for. We went into the movie with high hopes but the movie did not deliver the home run that we were hoping for...it was more of a long fly ball to left field. The acting was good and the script was decent but the execution of if it all didn't do it for us.  

Joel

Favorite: George C. Scott did a great job as Patton. We have entered a new era where many of the movies to come have great actors.

Least Favorite: The script used a lot of profanities. There's already a big difference in the films before 1969 and the ones after 1969.

Callie
Favorite: I enjoyed seeing World War II from a different perspective.
Least Favorite: Trying to decide if Patton was the protagonist or the antagonist. He was tough to root for.
