Summary: Scott's Patton in Hi-Def
Comment: I have just seen this film in the Blu-ray format and it is superb!! A previous reviewer complained about the lack of grain in the film but that's what made the transfer so great!! Also there is a brief introduction by Francis Ford Coppola before the film starts and it is very insightful about his experiences in gathering information for this classic film. The transfer, as I stated before, is excellent and duplicates the experience of having seen it in the 70mm format (2:20) in the theatre. Although the film borders very close to 3 hours, this is one of those films that you wish could last a little bit longer (Scott was dissatisfied with the film and refused the Oscar,later did a TV film version of Patton's last days). So if you're already a fan of this classic, I do recommend getting this in Blu-ray --I will very shortly!!

Summary: a professional soldier
Comment: Everyone is good at something, music, basketball, nuclear physics, but what about fighting wars? Patton was that guy, a military tactical genius. Unfortunately, he also had no personal skills to get along with the other generals. A great historical look at a flawed hero during one of the world's great conflicts.

Summary: Avoid if you want to see the 'film'
Comment: Fox has turned Patton into a video game by filtering out all grain and fine detail from the picture. Patton never looked like this till this HD transfer. It's completely unauthentic and does not show the film as intended and made by the film makers. Very bad revisionist HD mastering. Thumbs down, way down. I want to see Patton the film, not Patton the waxy, ultrasmooth video game.

Editorial Reviews:
|
A critically acclaimed film that won a total of eight 1970 Academy Awards (Including Best Picture) Patton is a riveting portrait of one of the 20th century's greatest military geniuses. One of it's Oscars went to George Patton the only Allied general truly feared by the Nazis. Charismatic and Flamboyant Patton designed his own uniforms sported ivory-handled six-shooters and believed he was a warrior in past lives. He outmanuevered Rommel in Africa and after D-Day led his troops in an unstoppable campaign across Europe. But he was rebellious as well in sight and poignancy his own volatile personailty was one enemy he could never defeat.System Requirements:Running Time: 170 minutesFormat: BLU-RAY DISC Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE/CLASSICS Rating: PG UPC: 024543519782 Manufacturer No: 2251978
