My favorite film of all time

Rating: 10/10 (15 December 2003)

This film has won the Oscar for Best Picture, so I guess it really doesn't need my praise, but I'll give it anyways.
Braveheart has it all. The battle scenes are intense, the comic relief is actually very funny, the characters are sharply drawn, and it packs an emotional wallop that few films can equal. This is the kind of movie that makes you remember why you go to the movies.
From the opening shot through the mountains of Scotland, to the tear-jerking shot of Wallace's sword flying through the air, the movie is a triumph from beginning to end. If you haven't seen this film, you are doing yourself a disservice. Go out and rent it, turn the lights off, and enjoy Mel Gibson's masterpiece.
10 out of 10
