Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

jahermes-84845 Glad I didn't read the reviews before I watched this. Perhaps you can put you expert knowledge of history (which is recollections from others since I assume you did not live during this period to personally witness these events) aside and remember that these men are true American heroes and the major events actually did happen. Who knows how and what was specifically spoken 250 years ago.This series was great for anyone that forgets why we are free to even have these debates in this type of medium. A lot of our youth are not pursuing this information and certainly not reading about it on paper or online unless its a requirement. Perhaps this is what is needed to get them engaged beyond the classroom.Bet you didn't like the movie Lincoln either because Daniel Day Lewis is 2 inches shorter than Lincoln.

james-seaford Actually, it was the first five minutes, but I persevered. I guess I had an expectation that there would be some actual history in it. This is like that Japanese Restaurant where no Japanese would set foot in the place, much less work there. Not an authentic experience. Characters are all one-dimensional, lead actor is putting on a rather strong American actor for the period (which is very odd because the actor is British). The dialogue is even odder, and reminds me of something you would find in Buffy the Vampire rather than a TV series on a subject matter Americans all take rather seriously - when done right, the results are amazing i.e. John Adams. Use a long stick to avoid this hazard.

sapphire_dragon-1 I get that it is fictionalised but you are dealing with real people and some responsibility and respect should have been taken. The dehumanisation of the British and particularly the psychopathic portrayal of Thomas Gage was especially sickening. Gage avoided violence when ever he could. He was a firm believer of the law (to a fault according to officer complaints) and he would have never committed most of the illegal acts he is portrayed as executing. As for his marriage, recollections of public displays of affection between the couple and eleven children (before, during and after Boston) suggest their marriage was generally happy. While Gage was not the perfect husband he was not abusive as depicted. Margaret was known to be intelligent, independent and outspoken, not the guarded, protected, intimidated mouse shown in the series. Overall I think the writers took the fiction too far and have crossed some morally dubious lines. If I wanted to get people interested in the American Revolution I would not use this series.

gearheadpatriot Recognizing the historical significance of the Sons of Liberty, I started the series with high expectations. While I understand literary license, this mini-series absolutely misrepresents the events and personalities it claims to represent. Dramatizing key events with romantic affairs, and comic book heroics cheapens the sacrifices of the men and women who founded our nation. If you want the real story of Lexington and Concord visit battle road, the National Park Service has an exceptional program at each of the critical junctures of the battle. Failing a trip to Boston, go to an Appleseed or Libertyseed clinic, you'll get the most accurate account of the battle you can find anywhere.
