A must-see classic

Rating: 10/10 (9 May 2003)

Braveheart is one of those films that comes along once in a while - you never get tired of watching it because each time you do, you discover something new that you never noticed before. This has to be one of Mel Gibson's greatest achievements to date, making his directorial debut in what has become a classic even though it is just eight years old! No one else could be quite as convincing in the role of William Wallace. This film has something for everyone - bloody battle scenes, love interests, humour, tragedy, believable characters, an amazing soundtrack and a script which couldn't fail to inspire! Of course it has had its critics as well who hit out at the 'historical inaccuracy' of the film - but who cares? It's a great movie and one which will stay in your movie collection for many years to come. Highly recommended!
