Pros: excellent acting, directing, music, extras. Cons: the DVD is a bit pricey, wish there were more extras
This movie is one of those definite must own titles for any movie lover's library. It has an outstanding music score by James Horner (better than the Titanic's in my opinion), Mel Gibson, an excellent actor/director if not the best, one of the most...
Pros: fine acting, gorgeous music, epic scale, brings to light little-known Scottish hero Cons: very bloody, I'm related to the bad guy!!
Being a life-long lover of Scotland, I have wanted to see Braveheart ever since it came out, but I never went out of my way to do it because I knew it was an extremely graphic film and I figured I'd have a lot of trouble stomaching it. It's the...
Pros: Acting, scenery, story Cons: Not faithful to history
The Summer of 1995 was a Scotsman’s dream, and it reinvigorated the historical epic as a source of box-office bonanzas. That summer saw the release of Rob Roy and Braveheart. For me, the films are both great, but very different. ...
Pros: Good battle scenes. Great music (score) Cons: none
What a movie! This classic movie will be watched for many years to come. One of the best movies of all time without a doubt. The acting, scenery, directing and score were all very well done. The film was nominated for eleven Academy Awards and received...
Pros: Realistic Battle Scenes and a Passionate Love Story Cons: There Will Never Be A Sequel
This movie could be classified as both. Mel Gibson produced, directed and starred in this epic about a Scotsman that leads his people to freedom from English rule. Although the character he plays did exist the majority of the films plot is fiction....
Pros: Passionate legend of William Wallace in Scotland's fight for freedom; cinematography Cons: Brutal, hacking, gory, bloody violence.
" The trouble with Scotland is that it's full of Scots."
In this week, when we all stand quietly and anxiously, wondering what will happen in our lives, now forever changed with a single terrorist act, I needed some inspiration. I...
Pros: Acting, direction, special effects, score, everything Cons: ???
I bought this as a present for my father. I'd never seen it before, but it looked good. I'm a fan of Mel Giboson, and this is considered to be his finest role. Not only that, I enjoy epics and this has gained a reputation for being the epic of epics. ...
This 1995 Oscar Winner for Best Picture and Director (along with three other wins), mixing history with legend is the story of late 13th Century Scottish hero William Wallace (director-star-drunk Mel Gibson, whose second directorial effort this would be, ...
Pros: Excellent moral story with enough action to keep everybody awake. Cons: Historically inaccurate, if that bothers you. Violent.
Somebody or other once observed that Mel Gibson always seems to always be playing characters that are at least a bit, if not insane, well, say off-center. I believe the movie that unremembered writer was referring to was ...
"Braveheart" reminded me of "Star Wars" in a way, as both are essentially the same stories of rebels (who we know are righteous) fighting against impossible odds for their freedom from the evil oppressors. The film starts out by giving us a sense of ...
Pros: powerful story, fantastic performances, emotional content Cons: unnecessarily violent, few DVD offerings
Braveheart is one of my favorite movies. Few movies are powerful enough to bring a tear to my eye every time, and this one never fails. A modern epic, it chronicles the life of William Wallace and the events that create in him a warrior influential ...
Pros: Inspirational look at historical figure, Great battle scenes, Well done film for epic genre and tells a good story, Can provide spark for more research on the subject, Memorable characters and some great quotes, a few touches of humor Cons: Mel seems a bit self-indulgent in places, some gay bashing, Follows Hollywood formula for epics
One of the last things we need is another Braveheart review composed four years after its initial release. But after purchasing the DVD version recently I feel justified in sharing a few observations without saying a great deal about the...
Pros: Mel Gibson, strong script, raw and apt cinematography, great make-up, intense camera work, dialogue, crowded sub-plots Cons: No sequels by default, since Wallace dies at the end of the movie anyway
Here's freedom to them that wad read,
here's freedom to them that wad write!
There's nane that ever feard that the truth should be heard,
but they whom the truth wad indite.
Pros: Everything in this movie is excellent. Mel Gibson is really at his best in Braveheart. Cons: Too long of a movie
To put it frankly, this movie absolutely kicks butt. It is the embodiment of a guy movie: massive battle scenes, betrayal, gore, sex, revenge need I say more? Alright, fine, its a little long at three and a half hours, but its three and half hours of ...
Mel Gibson stars on both sides of the camera, playing the lead role plus directing and producing this brawling, richly detailed saga of fierce combat,...More at Buy.com Marketplaces
