the same people that hate on The Patriot’s historical accuracy jackoff to Star Wars or Marvel movies. You know superheros and walking dingleberries don’t really exist, right?

Horrible analogy. Movies like the Patriot are supposedly serious movies that are BASED on historical events and people, so you expect it to be mostly history accurate.

Movies like Star Wars and Marvels fall into the fictional category and aren’t based on anyone or anything.

I’d love to see a movie based on The Battle of New Orleans.

The Buccaneer with Charlton Heston is good, but it's older.

I want to see the Zach Snyder 300-ized version of the Revolutionary War from Robot Chicken
1776

Brian Kilmeade books are good and that us one of them.

always thought Francis Marion was an interesting character even as a kid.

We had little 40-50 page biography books on early American heroes when I was in grade school. I probably read the one on Francis Marion 20 times. I'd love to see a historically accurate movie on him

Where did it ever say “based on historical events”?

When you include historical battles such as Elizabethtown, Charles Town, Camden, Cowpens, and Yorktown....your film is based on historical events. Benjamin Martin was clearly inspired by Francis Marion while Tavington was based loosely off of Banastre Tarleton. Not to mention the fact that Lord Cornwallis is an actual historical figure whose forces were stymied by those of Marion's in South Carolina.

300 is actually an adaptation of Zach Miller’s comic book on the battle. So that’s why it’s heavily dramatized, features weird coloring, and even has monsters. Plus much of the movie is told through the guy that made it back, hence why he might say the enemies have actual monsters at their command.
