Others say...
"A short historical review" First let me say that I loved the acting and George C. Scott provided one of the greatest acting performances in a film. However, this movie is flawed, fatally flawed, when it comes to the real Patton. Yes, much is true, but much is from the perspective of a man, that we now know since his death and the availability of his writings, hated Patton. That person was the technical consultant on this movie and his name is General Omar Bradley. Without wishing to get into arguments on whom was right or wrong in a given situation since they were both typical generals and therefore prim a donas, the one-sided perspective in this movie always leaves a bad taste in my mouth. For example, Bradley hated Montgomery as much as Patton and would speak it but we never see this in the movie since Bradley evidently thought it would make him look bad. If Patton disagreed with Bradley while under his command, he would suck it up. Bradley was known to complain to Eisenhower and Alexander. Bradley was simply wrong about Patton's actions on Sicily. Given the constraints Monty put him under, he did a remarkable job of trying to kill Germans as much as possible and limit their escape from the island. At the Bulge, both Eisenhower and Bradley were caught with their pants down big time and instead of harping on that, Patton was ready to go with a plan that helped turn the battle into a huge Allied victory. Patton was a meticulous planner who never sacrificed the lives of his troops for personal glory. He understood that the quicker the war ended, the less men would die.
"Patton Great Movie done before PC Folks Got a hold of History" One of the best war movies of all time, back in Blue Ray. Had it in the old DVD style but a must have in Blue Ray
"Patton should have been watched in high resolution years ago." This is a good war movie with wide landscape view from one scene to another. I have enjoyed this movies in wide screen in theaters since I was a child. High resolution version just brings back all the good memory and saw all details audience deserves to see at home.
"Great Movie. Bummer Pricing" This is a great classic movie. However, one week after I ordered, Amazon dropped the price $4.00 or about 33%. Bummer.
"one of best movies ever made" terrific cinematograpy. superb acting. academy award winning performance by george c. scott. story line, with a little artistic license, for the most part is historically accurate.

What our customer's say!
"Yes, the bluray is worth getting", PATTON is simply a great,great motion picture for reasons that have been discussed and written about for nearly 40 years--having purchased all the other video versions,I felt a bit irresponsible placing an order for yet another edition:BLURAY.We ARE duped a little, in that disc 2 is simply the normal DVD from the previous 2-disc set added to the BLURAY package--kinda a ripoff...no,definatly a ripoff. But the BLURAY transfer is stunning, and if you love this film alot, as I do, you will eventually forget how pathetic it is to own 3 or 4 versions and be happy you have it on BLURAY!
"Love it", This Two-Disc set is the best Film and commentary can get; if you like biographical drama you'll love this one!
"One of the Best", George C. Scott and all the other actors put on a great performance. This movie is well directed and edited and deserves to be in the top 100 movies of all time. Although it strays from the truth occasionally about the real Patton, as a myth maker the movie is superb. This movie script is what put Spielberg into the big leagues as far as movie making goes. The best thing about it is the nuances and complexity of the Patton character, it belies the stereotyping usually given to military types as depicted by Hollywood.
"Kill those Huns by the bushelful", George C. Scott is the star in this magnificent movie about Patton. A must have in any man's war movie collection
"I prefer the dvd or vhs... the Blue-ray version has been butchered", The movie is extraordinary. I hate the Blue-ray version of the movie! Save your money... vhs or dvd better represent the original. The Blue-ray version has been butchered! Black and white movies colorized is off my list also... And would someone please tell me how to start the movie without the previews and introductions? I have no interest in the opinions of others about the movie prior to watching the movie. And forcing me to watch previews of other movies are best left to copies from Blockbuster or the theater. $2000 for a new tv, new cable box, new receiver, new Blue-ray player and it sucks! And $20+ for the Blue-ray. Fox should pay me to watch the previews. The DVD version stays and the new Blue-ray version is to be listed on eBay later tonight.

"Bad DVD !!!", I got two patton DVD a while back, it's the same picture as on this DVD. I gave one to a buddy, and both DVD's were bad about half way into the movie. I want to buy another one, but dont want to get my hopes up and be let down again. IM in Iraq and it takes a week or so to get a DVD. Patton was a true hero !!! Chestie Puller was also a true hero !!! I wish I could find a movie about him.
"As great as the original!", Wow! They really did an awesome job of creating the blu-ray version of this movie. I really like this classic and the blu-ray movie is a must for any Patton fan. The audio and video are excellent. I could not be happier with this blu-ray version. Well worth the money if you really enjoy this movie.
"patton", a very good war film one of the best. I purchased this film after patton 2 disc and found out that it is not 2.35 aspect ratio but 2.20. After I purchased this version 2.35 aspect ratio to find out that the 2 disc is the letterbox original version that is the 2.20 widscreen.
"great movie, AWFUL picture quality", I have to agree with the very few that have called Fox on its despicable job with the picture quality on Patton.
I give the film four stars (in case you were thinking i'm just being mean and unhelpful) and the Blu-ray one. In case you didn't red those others (and there should be MANY more critical reviews of this movie's quality), here it is in a nutshell.
You've been duped.
Oh no it isn't great picture quality. The remaster is AWFUL.
Have you heard of DNR, or Digital Noise Reduction? Film has grain. 70mm film has less noticeable grain due to its large negative size. The thing is, picture detail cannot be separated from the grain and the chemical reaction when the film is exposed.
Because people want to see things looking 'clear' and 'high-def' like HD video and digitally originated cg/3d movies, the studios are 'scrubbing' the pictures electronically to get rid of the grain. They also use a technique called 'edge enhancement' to artificially sharpen the picture by increasing areas of high contrast like edges. So what you get is a halo effect around the edges, and/or LOSS of fine details because when you erase the grain, you erase the high-frequency detail. Detail on chemical film is inseparable. Look at Karl Malden - where are the pores of his skin? HD, and certainly the original 70mm film, is capable of showing this. Now go and look at Patton again. Just atrocious. You've been robbed and don't even know it. Compare it to another 'war' movie, Blackhawk down. THAT's detail and picture quality. Yes Patton is older, but it was shot on 70mm and there should be plenty of detail so you can actually compare the two differently aged films.
Look at Jennifer Connelly's face in Hulk where you can see pores and fine hair, peachfuzz and so on. Then look at something like the Dark City BD, where it's been erased (even though she's younger there!). In Sweeney Todd, the worst thing is they only applied the DNR around the nose and cheeks/under the eyes. See how 'blurred' it looks! They didn't even put grain back over the top to match the rest of the picture - and the most ridiculous thing of all is that in Sweeney Todd Depp and Carter are SUPPOSED to look drawn and tired and lined! It's just ludicrous! And they DON'T do it to other characters! Look at Depp's face in the Pirates movies. THAT'S what you should be seeing, colour grading and tone aside.
I won't even start on how many filmmakers use coarser grain to make the tone/film literally more 'gritty'. On purpose.
DNR is the devil, to be melodramatic about it. I'm not buying Patton on BD until they 'fess up and 'unfix' the thing. HD and Blu-ray are supposed to let you see a film as ACCURATELY to the original as possible. Not this rubbish.
"Amazing Blu-ray", The Patton Blu-Ray release is a fantastic remastering. By far one of the best picture quality Blu-Ray releases I've come across to date. Its a wonderful movie with awesome picture quality.
