Patton 360: The Complete Season 1 Cusomter reviews:
Average Rating: 3.0 Total Reviews: 2
(MrMostly, 2009-10-07) I really had to force myself to watch this. The mindless repetition of the same graphics over and over was a real turn off. It is truly terrible. Used as filler, a very few clips of Patton prancing comically is shown every few minutes of the film. The computer generated graphics look like a computer game and do nothing to add to the production. The same grapics are shown over and over and over. The narrative ignores numerous important facets of his career and primarily is celebratory to the hero. The film does little to make him unique in just what about his strategies and tactics made him noteworthy. Any student of WW2 will be disappointed by the complete lack of historical scholarship in this production.
(Robert K. Garrou, 2009-06-22) I knew General Patton was a great battlefield commander. Despite his flaws, he was still the right man to do the job of smashing the Hitler-Nazi machine. This what the series, Patton 360, brings out. It clearly portrays the genius of a man driven to wreak havoc on the enemy. I never realized, until now, just how much of a struggle it was to win back France, and the obstacles that had to be overcome. I have no doubt that if Patton was given full sway, the war might well have shortened by almost a year. But judge for yourself. Watch or buy the series. Enjoy the clever and artful way computer graphics have been combined with historical footage to give a complete and exciting story of World War II's most controversial but successful general - and appreciate how America always seems to come with a man at the hour of her need or peril.
