DVD not disappointing

Rating: 10/10 (12 January 2004)

Last night I saw Braveheart for the first time. Instead of the watered-down "safe to watch" TV version, I went for the all-out DVD, complete with blood and gore. I was NOT disappointed. The story of William Wallace and how his legacy rallied the Scots to fight for and earn their freedom is very gripping. While the movie is about 3 hours long (and I had the luxury of a pause button), this is one of those movies where you don't want to get out of your seat until it's over (Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King is another). I would definitely recommend this movie and I would also recommend looking for more about William Wallace.
