Chicago Tribune - Michael Wilmington
The movie holds up far better than its detractors guessed - splendidly, in fact - not only thanks to Scott's spellbinding acting, but to the epic imagery, Coppola's (and Edmund North's) highly intelligent script and Schaffner's lucid, perfectly controlled direction.

ReelViews - James Berardinelli
Patton remains to this day one of Hollywood's most compelling biographical war pictures.

USA Today - Mike Clark
Still mesmerizes on the strength of George C. Scott's chew-your-behind performance. [5 Nov. 1999, p.6E]

Variety - Unnamed
War is hell, and Patton is one hell of a war picture, perhaps one of the most remarkable of its type ever made.

The New York Times - Vincent Canby
A huge, initially ambivalent but finally adoring, Pop portrait of one of the most brilliant and outrageous American military figures of the last one hundred years.
