Brilliant, emotional, thrilling masterpiece by Mel Gibson.

Rating: 9/10 (6 November 2013)

A lot of people have been bashing this movie for its historical in inaccuracies. I am a big history buff, and the first time I watched this, the complete shoving off of several major historical facts bothered me a good deal. However, after about the first hour I realized that the point of the movie was not to show exact historical facts as they happened, but to show a beautiful, touching story of a man who lost everything, (his father, his brother, his wife) to an oppressive king, and decided to do something about it. He stood by his principles and morals to the point even of death at a young age in a horrible way, from the man who in the end took literally everything, accept one thing. William Wallace's freedom.
The movie is a must see , but be warned, there is violence, language, sexual content and adult themes. I would not suggest it to anyone younger than 15, as it can be a bit intense at times. Other than a bit of a slow start, this movie is close to perfect, as long as you can look past this films factual issues and see it for what it is.
