It is 1776 in colonial South Carolina. Benjamin Martin, a French-Indian war hero who is haunted by his past, now wants nothing more than to live peacefully on his small plantation, and wants no part of a war with the most powerful nation in the world, Great Britain. Meanwhile, his two eldest sons, Gabriel and Thomas, can't wait to enlist in the newly formed "Continental Army." When South Carolina decides to join the rebellion against England, Gabriel immediately signs up to fight...without his father's permission. But when Colonel William Tavington, British dragoon, infamous for his brutal tactics, comes and burns the Martin Plantation to the ground, tragedy strikes. Benjamin quickly finds himself torn between protecting his family, and seeking revenge along with being a part of the birth of a new, young, and ambitious nation.

A let down
8/10. Not as good as "Braveheart." A lot of the battle scenes and backdrops were obviously computer generated/computer enhanced. Contrast this with "Last of the Mohicans" where the battle scenes were much more realistic. Also - I was not that impressed with Mel's performance in this movie. It was inferior to that of Daniel Day-Lewis from "Last of the Mohicans." It was hard to buy into the conflicted image portrayed by Mel - something just did not work for me. Also - the villain in this film was pretty bland and was hard to hate(he was just a bore). Contrast that to the villains in "Braveheart", "Last of the Mohicans", "Rob Roy" where you could really get into disliking the bad guy.
Like the Brits who object I also find myself doubting the whole plot line with the eeeevil Dragoon. More like a vision of WWII and later than a vision from 200 years ago when chivalry was still in fashion.
It was still an entertaining film and worth seeing. But in my opinion there was a lot wrong with it. Perhaps too much time and effort in the special effects and not enough effort on characterization development and story line.
