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.

An exceptional biopic about one of the greatest military leader of all time. He had an uncomfortable personality, was the opposite of a politician but a most brilliant military commander. This was to the point that he was held back in WW2 by his own side in order not to humiliate the other leaders that were better usable by the war propaganda. A brilliant depiction of the man by George C. Scott. A classic that you must see.

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.
