Great movie....THE PATRIOT. Free of trashy sex, dirty language..amazing it made the big screen.

It is one of the few R-rated movies I have seen in the last 5 years.

Unbelievable....did you know why this movie was rated R??? I was told that it is because it had KIDS...WITH....GUNS....horrors.

No. Really? The guns were muzzle loaders. Please. That's it.

No, it was because of the graphic violence. Heads blown off, people burned alive, stabbed, shot, hacked with tomahawks.... The "kids with guns" upset some of the Brady Bunch, but the R rating was for the violence --- the same with Blackhawk Down and We Were Soldiers. They are not movies for young kids to see.
