Fred Flintstone fights for Scotland's FREEEEEDOM!

Rating: 1/10 (22 May 2008)

I can't imagine how anybody can take this farrago seriously.
I can see that if you didn't give a toot for Scotland or its history, but you liked vigorous hack-and-bash action with one-dimensional villains and heroes, cartoon acting (Gibson was clearly channelling Fred Flintstone), simple-minded penis-size jokes and a dash of good old-fashioned homophobia, all set in beautiful (and totally inappropriate) landscapes, you could really enjoy this film. But it beats me how anybody can stumble out after watching it babbling "inspirational", "enthralling", "heroic", "romantic" and all the rest of it. It's a joke movie to rent for a raucous evening at home over some cans of beer. (Provided there's nobody in the house who cares about the history of Scotland  they will certainly come out in a rash.)
