This was a pretty good flick. The most impressive scenes involved horse stunts. Not sure how they do that these days w/PETA and all...
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. |

So I watched it late a couple nights ago. That was dumb. This is one that sticks with you awhile.
I didn’t know the history of it, so the outcome was kind of in doubt in my head. The thing that the film really did well was show the suffering he endured.
Spoiler!
It also wasn’t what I expected in terms of length of historical events. It’s pretty much one battle. Other stuff happened but it was one battle. But that really allowed them to build up the suffering. Really well done imo. It didn’t try to do too much and did what it set out to do really well. |

According to this William Wallace wasn't even the real Braveheart and Robert the Bruce never turned on him
I thought it was a very good movie no matter,thanks for the heads up Pest. |

It was worth the time because I'm a bit of a history buff. But, it was made too cheap. I understand battles cost a lot of money. There were a ton more battles not filmed. The final battle in the movie was well done. Unless they are doing a sequel, its just a cheap knockoff.
