Awful.
21 July 2003
The movie itself completely awful. I thought I would turn it off several times, thought I found myself laughing near the end. The historical accuracy's in the movie start the very beginning and don't to the end. I.E. The Americans attacked Quebec in the winter of 1775, in the movie it look like summertime. When the Saratoga scene appears the Americans simply run towards the British redoubt (which is surrounded with a picket fence no less! Like you find in someone's backyard) while the British are screaming like men while wearing uniforms which were probably made by a blind tailor/Hollywood. They were awful. Not only was the clothing and dialogue wrong for the time period, the movie itself is really boring. Seriously, how many can truly believe a British officer would refer to Benedict Arnold as the "Hero of Saratoga." Come On. (and it was actually Gen. Horatio Gates who was called this. For anyone who wants to learn about Benedict Arnold, consider this a piece, NOT to learn from. It will bore you to death.
