One of the Best Movies I have ever seen.

Rating: 10/10 (14 June 2003)

Mel Gibson is at his best. His acting is truly superb. Also, the way he directed the film is beautiful. It's not like the new fancy movies, but a true historical epic. The best part of the movie is the end when Hamish, William's friend, throws Wallace's sword into the field of Bannackburn, where they are fighting after Wallace's death. Of all the action/adventure movies there ever was, this one is the best.
James Horner's score is brilliant. It truly makes you cry. Especially the scene I mentioned earlier. The music there is just pitch perfect. Like John Williams score for Jaws, the best music is the simplest. Also did you notice how the best original score award at the academy awards was always given to the music that made you cry. This one should have won.
So, all in all this movie definitely is one of my favorite and the best movie I have seen since Forrest Gump in 1994.
