Hi ALL: Though I haven't posted in here in a long while, I have been a lurker every now and then. I may no have the right to post this but I feel I have to.

Several people have made posts on this site stating how they and they're children hated "The Patriot". How it was historically flawed and it didn't match up to LOTM.....

Well, I never!!!!!.....Look, Patriot may be not the most accurate film ever made, but it was entertaining, fantastic, and on-the-edge-fun for the entire 2:45! I loved this movie and didn't start tearing it apart as soon as I got out of the theater. Look, as much as I love LOTM we all can agree that the love story between Uncas & Alice was nonexistent! I mean he was willing and did die for her? Why?!!!!.....The movie didn't indicate thaey were in love! And there was absolutly zero character development, except maybe Hawkeye.

Does that cause me the tear it apart?,....NO....I love LOTM and I love Patriot!!!!....I love historical pictures....Gettysburg, North and South, etc........

Thank you for letting me vent. Now no more about how bad Patriot was. I won't hear of it....
