My nitpicks w/Hollywood on these movies though:

Sound effects guys are working too hard. How come every time a guy pulls out a sword from a leather holder, it makes a metal on metal loud swoosh sound? Every damn time. Or when they throw a spear into a guy's chest. Does that really make a sound? Don't think so.

Why do they have to make the hero such a sweetheart? Nice to everybody, let's his nemesis live, chicks dig him, etc. Any historic leader needs to be ruthless, not Mr. Nice Guy.

Can we get some actors w/wooden, missing teeth and scragly hair? These people are just too good looking.

Isn’t that the crux of the show?

Spoiler!

I think it was Douglas that said “This is the price to be king”.

In the war that Wallace led, none of his family died. He was safe, his daughter was a long way away. So then they nuke Wallace and they decide to fight, so he goes and does the things the way they were done then. Proceeds to get EVERYBODY dead and his wife and kid captured.

Then he decides, “**** this shit” burns down his castle and goes guerrilla. Sneaks up on fools and stabs them in the throat. Isn’t that journey precisely what you were saying he should be?
