| Rating |      | | Date | July 29, 2005 | | Summary | Incredible realism | Content
 | If you have read any of my other reviews you would know that realism is something that i hold in great esteem, this movie is practically nothing but. The way Scotland is seen in the movie as well as the hero William Wallace is incredible in terms of how accurately it's displayed. Mel Gibson, excellent actor and even better director. Do yourself a huge favor and purchase this movie immediately. I don't know if the sale will still be there when you're reading this review but as of July 28th 2005 it's over 50% off, and that's an excellent deal. By the way, I'd like to finish by warning you NOT to buy this movie in addition to The Patriot in some feeble attempt to save money. Overall you'll just be wasting it because The Patriot is quite the opposite of this one. |

 | I believe this DVD will become a classic in the future. I enjoy the time period and some bit of history on Scotland. The movie may be somewhat loose with all of the facts. But the fact remains that much of this movie is indeed true. |
| Rating |      | | Date | July 23, 2005 | | Summary | A true epic! | Content
 | This movie has so many dynamics and subsequent complications that it will leave you filling very satisfied. While it is based off of true events, you need to keep in mind that it is rather one-sided and rather anti-British. Nonetheless, a very compelling movie that includes war, romance, politics, honor, and loyalty. A must see! |

 | Mr. Gibson is to be congratuated on bring back the tradition of the grand sweeping epic movies. I don't think that "Longshanks" (Edward I, who was that tough in real life) would of liked it but who says life is fair? That and Robert the Bruce was a much tougher customer than shown here. But it is a great movie especially with the Battle scenes except for this question. Where was the Bridge at Stirling? |
| Rating |      | | Date | July 07, 2005 | | Summary | I simply LOVE this film | Content
 | When I saw it on 1995 on the big screen I was blown away. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen and was inmersed in the film's atmosphere for the three hours of its duration. It is a film so powerful and emotional, and the music score is the best that James Horner has ever done, it brought me to tears several times. And when it finished, I was kind of emotionally drained.
This is one of my favourite movies of all time. It has raw power and energy and the direction, acting and everything is top notch. A well deserved Oscar for best film and best director.
Watch this film now if you haven't already. |
