Way more epic than I had expected. George C. Scott is a monster. Fantastic performance. You get a great sense of time passing and things going on and the general flow of the war and the different people and their differing opinions and levels of influence. And so on.

And you get one of the greatest pieces of tank action ever.

Patton is such a lonely film. Schaffner directs with such a chilly, eerie vibe, especially early in the Africa sequences. This film places the character of Patton in an expansive echo chamber, a man born in the wrong century.
Excellent central oscar-winning performance, excellent score, and such a beautiful panorama that demands to be seen on the big screen. Somewhat overlong, but full of many great moments.

Great biopic. George C. Scott is phenomenal as George S. Patton Jr.. Screenplay by Francis Ford Coppola & Edmund H. North was excellent, and Franklin J. Schaffner's direction is sublime. Winner of 8 Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Definitely worth having a look.

There are a lot of elements I admire about Patton, from the themes to the technical details to Jerry Goldsmith's score to the incredible performance from George C. Scott. There's a lot of awesome here and I do like this film quite a bit, but at the same time, I found myself oddly distant from the material. Still, this film is very well made and may yet grow on me upon further viewings.

Glorifies the general a bit too much but gets away with it thanks to a towering performance from George C. Scott.

Patton is an exciting piece of filmmaking, one that bravely ushered in the 1970s in the world of cinema. Impeccable direction and a magnificent performance from Scott, Patton is a truly great film.

Great war epic, if you like those kinds of movies I think its a definite watch, maybe not for people who prefer war movies to be about the violence and not about the men.

I've grown beyond my childhood infatuation with George Patton the actual person, but I still love George Patton the character. George C. Scott plays him so very well that I can't help but enjoy it, even when he's being an asshole.

A film for the longest time I had wanted see, but always put it off. What a truly amazing film. Great direction, brilliant screenwriting, and a phenomenal performance by George C. Scott as General George S. Patton.
