Braveheart Audience Reviews

AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
paulica198 The best movie I have ever seen. It is my favorite movie.
mail-873-825928 Mel Gibson is an absolute madman, and this movie is an absolute masterpiece. A nearly perfect film. The script may not be historically accurate, but the medieval atmosphere is flawless, the acting is superb, and the score complements and sharpens the passion of the struggle portrayed. The story revolves around three men that exemplify Hollywood archetypes William Wallace- an man of uncompromising principle, personally devastated and wholly devoted to his cause. King Edward I- A pure villain in the context of this film, the whites of his eyes glow with evil. McGoohan is tasked with difficult soliloquy which he delivers without contrivance. It is Robert the Bruce, however, that is the film's most compelling character. Whereas Wallace and Longshanks are one dimensional- their actions are guided by the rails of their existence, The Bruce grapples internally with acceptance of the seemingly inevitable- defying his father who attempts to steer him down the path of the cynic. While Wallace is supported by his loyal friends, and Longshanks will is unchallenged by his constituents, The Bruce must find the strength to forego the safe path chosen by his nobles and family. At no point during any of the film's epic battles does the suspension of disbelief wane, and the emotional crescendo would make any man proud to be Scottish, even if only to remember moments later that they are not, in fact, Scottish.
paid in full There is good and there is bad a bout this film. The good part is that the characters command attention. They are people that you feel close to...so, great acting by most actors. The overall story is simple and interesting enough. I t has mixed types of concerns that the heroes are involved in. But is movie is over 2 hours long and I wish it had been much much shorter.
Richie-67-485852 A tale well-told is the story of William Wallace that for Scotland became bigger than life and this is as it should be. Mel Gibson does the story justice as does a strong supporting cast and the rest is up to the viewer to enjoy as they please. Many must see scenes and nice visuals all help it reach the viewer and satisfy the entertainment gene within. Make sure you have a sandwich, snack and a drink on this long movie with no cell phone interruptions for maximum effect. There is a scene where they take bread and dunk it in a soup stew if you want to g that way too. Enjoy and you will become a....
