I like it as a film, accepting for a while Bradley's POV - it's hard to judge the artistic side of this film separately from the historical content.
Historical reconstruction of Patton himself is weak here: Scott was excellent, but his Patton just wasn't credible. It's a collection of anecdotes on Patton, not the real man. For example, the real Patton aged very quickly though the war (he was 60 in 1945, looking older than his real age - more like 70s). It doesn't happen in the film. The authors had to preserve this human continuity - whatever version of history (Bradley, Monty, Stalin..) they chose.
And I wish the Hammelsburg episode was there... the episode itself worth a whole film - but not in Hollywood, I suppose.
