inventiveness just the same over the top bluster. Patton was far more complex and, yes, cultured, than Scott's portrayal. All this movie did was perpetuate what everyone always had been told about Patton.
Boring.

I felt that the film and Coppola's screenplay went out of its way to portray the complexity of the man and his motivation. I hardly think this film is "boring".

  There's something wrong about Scott as Patton, and it's age.
  Scott was 42, Patton - by the end of the war - was 60, and his photographs look much older. Physically, he was ageing quickly - and in the film, Scott in 1945 looks as fresh as in 1943... no complexity here.
