The Patriot has the emotional range of a fridge magnet.

Even the popcorn looked bored during The Patriot.

If The Patriot was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in The Patriot actually is?
Look, I wanted to love The Patriot. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in The Patriot?
Rewatched The Patriot last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

Hot Take: The Patriot's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Director clearly thought The Patriot was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.
