Patton Blu-Ray has absolutely superb picture and sound quality. I'm amazed they could do this to a 40-year-old movie. And it's spectacular in 2.35:1 on a big-screen TV.
But it took forever and was incredibly hard to load, even though my TV and Blu-Ray player are good and fairly new and I have no trouble playing other Blu-Ray DVDs. Once loaded, there was no way to bypass previews and interviews and go straight to the movie (though I was able to "scene-skip" through them). And every time I stopped the action for a minute or two (to answer the phone, say), when I returned, the movie was back at the beginning and I had to start all over, this time scene-skipping, fast-forwarding and fast-reversing back and forth to find my place. I finally resorted to just hitting PAUSE and trying to get back before it cut off. It was as if I was watching a pirated Korean version, though the box looks legit and I got this from Amazon.
BTW, the entire movie is on Disc 1. Disc 2 is nothing but "special features." Neither box nor insert tell you that. So when you reach the intermission, don't eject the disc and put in disc 2. Just hit the scene-skip button.

Yeah, I know the story, if you buy used items such as DVD's; ect. they may not work correctly on all equipt. Such is true in this case as I don't usually have problems buying them used but I guess this case is different.

I could not stay awake. 3 hours long and not well structured compared to modern films. The movie was strongly recommended by a teacher but I did not enjoy it.

Great movie. Sorry that I never watched it before I was in my 40's. It was well worth my time to see it.

Movie was OK considering the age, but had lots of problems with Amazon staying linked up - Had to restart movie several times, and eventually finished the movie on Netflix !!! -- Amazon needs to fix this issue !

Highly overrated. Not very exciting. Hard to believe it was nominated for best picture!

When I first saw this I thought it was awesome, these days I see tanks from 1960 in WW2 movie and so on. But the first scene, speech in front of flag, is worth the price!

Both Patton and the The Longest Day are 5 star movies with good extras but when i compared them to the old versions i was very disappointed with the image. The new dvd on Patton has a less sharp picture and kinda of blurry and the colors are too red. The Longest Day also has a less than sharp picture and is too dark compared to the old one but it will fit your widesceen tv.
Good extras but could have done better with the image so i will keep both the old and new release.

Patton is a great movie to have in your DVD collection especially if you are into movies with plenty of action and a history lesson at the sametime
