Same producer as "The Patriot" and "Independence Day," Both fantasy pieces with not much more history in the former than in the latter. Not a good sign.

That is all true, but, in my opinion, the real problem with films like "The Patriot" isn't the messed up history, it is the producers and actors like Mel Gibson actively claiming that the movie depicts history. "The Patriot" isn't a bad movie, it just isn't history.
