There is plenty to criticise in Braveheart.
Mel Gibson's accent is worse than mine after 8 years in London, it is somewhat historically inaccurate, it is cheesy, and it is certainly full of Hollywood schmaltz.
But you know what?..
It is still fucking brilliant.
Those fight scenes are filmed in such an epic and brutal way that they will never be topped. Patrick McGoohan is brilliant as Longshanks, and it makes Scotland look amazing, despite most of it being filmed in Ireland. It has enough violence, humour, cheese, romance and film making skills to please everyone.
As a Scot, it has enough punch the air moments to make even a cynic like me vote for independence.
An epic of epic proportions.

I apologize in advance for coming across as an even bigger pedantic dick than usual, but I just cannot step over this film's fabricated history lesson.
I know, I know, historical accuracy is always a tricky thing and most films present a romanticised version of events. But this film portrays 'recent' history from a rather well documented time period. And it isn't so much the small things that were changed for cinematic convenience that bother me, it's the big things.
So it's not the fact that the Scots didn't wear kilts in those days, not did they paint their faces. There are many of those things in it, changed for the audience's understanding. Search the internet and you'll find lists…
Between this film and Avatar I'm just two steps away from tattooing my face blue!
When I see quality films like this I have to wonder why all films aren't made with the same passion and spirit as this one! While the film played footloose and fancy free with historical facts is of little or no consequence when the end result is a high caliber Epic, of which many (myself included) deem to be a modern day masterpiece!
Mel and I have the same credo! Go Big or Go Home! Mel didn't stop at Big he went full blown postal and never once looked back! Mel may be a flawed individual (We All Are) but he's one hell of an…
Nothing planned for my Friday night and braveheart 4k in the post this morning. Friday night sorted!
The uhd looks good and sounds great too. The film is still an epic entertaining one. Gibson was fairly great in his day and it’s a shame his career plummeted as it went. There’s so much good stuff in this from the music to the large scale set pieces. The wonderful scenery and the performances add to it as well. Great stuff.
"I'm doing this all for my dead wife" - William Wallace, balls deep in the Princess of Wales.
Decent, Mel Gibson’s eyes are very blue and he has a type. Nice battle sequences, crap continuity. Decent
Once upon a time movies were real, full of emotions and full of real ppl, no green screen, no bullshit. Freedoooooom.
Im mittelalterlichen Schottland gerät das Land unter die Herrschaft der britischen Krone. König Eduard "Longshanks" hat sich Schottland unter den Nagel gerissen und regiert nun das Land mit eiserner Hand. Der junge William Wallace (Mel Gibson) muss zusehen, wie sein Vater und sein Bruder von den Engländern getötet wurden und wird von seinem Onkel großgezogen, der ihm Lesen, Schreiben und Latein beibringt.
30 Jahre später: Die schottischen Edelleute haben sich zusammengerufen und beraten, wie gegen die Engländer vorgegangen werden soll. Der englische König hat das "Ius primae noctis" erlassen, was zu mehr Hass auf die Engländer in Schottland führt. William Wallace ist nun erwachsen und will ein normales Leben führen und verliebt sich in Murren, die er im Geheimen heiratet.…
Randall Wallace is not a very sharp writer, but I do like Mel Gibson as a director. The villains are too cartoony.
I started it off imagining it as a good rip off of Gladiator but ended up with a completely different feeling. A well made and visualized epic drama with soothing music. Casting could have been better and writing felt like a template in some places.
