Perfection

Rating: 10/10 (8 August 2000)

This is without a doubt Mel Gibson's finest offering. He will never direct or act in anything better. Which is a shame. Since I'm sure he'll be in a lot more movies. And each one seems to be another step down.
At least he will always have this.
Braveheart is perfect in almost every way. There is just so much passion put into this movie that you cannot help being caught up in it. The story is never boring. The characters are all fleshed out nicely. The romance is believable and touching. The music is moving. Great action pieces.
There isn't much you can say about this movie other than it's perfect.
Maybe it's better if Gibson doesn't direct anything else. Maybe he realized that this was as good as he gets.

Costner hasn't yet learned that lesson I think.
