As much as this is going to echo what everyone else says, George C. Scott MAKES this movie. I was actually disappointed by the film. The war battles were large in scale but not convincing. I'm willing to dismiss that because this was made in the early 70s, but it doesn't erase the fact that it was kind of a let down.
Overall though, it doesn't matter because George C. Scott is so wonderful to watch. His portrayal of Patton is nothing short of amazing and is one of the more standout performances I've seen.
It never live up to that opening monologue. George C. Scott was good. The actually fighting scenes looked great. I was just bored for most of this though. It was too long and bland.
It is a truly detestable personality.
Masterpiece of the old Hollywood. A bio movie of one of the most american militar men of America and you enjoy the character of George C. Scott.
George C. Scott stars in the powerful and introspective WWII biopic Patton. Co-written by Francis Ford Coppola, the story follows the exploits of Gen. George S. Patton, from his desert fighting with Rommel in North Africa to his unstoppable march across the European continent with the Third Army. Scott gives a career performance, bringing real depth and complexity to Patton. And, composer Jerry Goldsmith does an extraordinary job at creating an iconic score that embodies the triumph and passion of the warrior spirit. A sweeping historical epic, Patton presents a fascinating look at one of the most accomplished generals in American history.
