Some great scenes, but too long

Rating: 6/10 (28 February 2002)

This movie is at its best in the big battle scenes. However, it goes on forever. Like "Giant", it's great to look at, but it's long and has many dull subplots that make it tough to follow. I admire Mel Gibson for the hard work he put into this movie and his role as Braveheart, but the evil king Edward is the more interesting of the two.
