Quite impressive

Rating: 9/10 (13 September 1999)

Finally saw Braveheart, on network TV, in this case for me, mercifully sanitized. It's siginificant that the movie was so good without my having to see all the gore, which I can not endure. This is a very fine movie, beautifully photographed, atmospheric and absorbing. As much as I dislike just about everything about Mel Gibson, I have to grant that he really pulled it off here.
