I know it's mostly "Hollywoodized"....

Rating: 10/10 (1 March 2002)

Ok all you angry Scots and Englishmen, don't trash what I consider one of the greatest achievements in film of the past decade now. I know that most of the movie is ficticious, I have read the "True Story of Braveheart", and I know the history, besides it's only a movie! Geezum Pete!! But the fact that it's "Hollywoodized" doesn't stop me from REALLY liking this movie, besides do you think the "True story of William Wallace" would make a good flick? I hardly think so, I mean I would go see it, don't get me wrong, but the general public wouldn't think it was that great. So, what Randall Wallace (screenwriter, Braveheart) did for Wallace was in my mind flawless and GREAT storytelling. I mean I liked this movie SO much that I went out and bought a replica Wallace sword!! Now if only our buddy Mel would put out a better DVD here in the U.S. with the 22 minutes cut from the film, either IN the film as a Director's Cut, or on a separate disc, all would be good and I could die a happy, VERY happy man. So chill out you Scots and English dudes! Amother thing this movie did for me was want to go back to England where I lived for 3 1/2 yrs. of my life, and REALLY appreciate it's history and beauty. Thanks for your time and ENJOY the movie, don't criticize it....
