Everything about this movie seemed like something from Disney would make, despite the violence. And it would be forgivable if it was made by Disney, but it's not. There is just way too much Hollywood in this, yeah it's a patriotic movie and probably will make the audience proud to be American. This is a very distorted historical movie in order to make everything seem more entertaining, and isn't one of those films that should be shown in history classes. Mel Gibson seems to love these types of roles, but he really isn't a great actor and it really shows he is acting. This is film is basically black and white, where it shows heroes to be heroes and villains to be villains. Nothing about this film is riveting or gripping, sure some patriotic Americans enjoy this film for what it is. Nothing is stunning about this film, although the cinematography is decent. A lot of everything that goes on this film is distorted, but what can you expect it's Roland Emmerich's film. I am a American, but was rolling my eyes a couple of times while watching this.
