good, but no classic!

Rating: 6/10 (17 June 2005)

Today I've seen Braveheart, a movie that has won 5 Oscars in 1996, for the first time. My judgment? It's a good movie, but I've seen much better movies! This movie is full of typical moments: a man who's wife is killed and wants revenge. He becomes a great leader with many warriors and keeps great speeches... The only real scene that belongs in a classic is the scene where William becomes tortured! I also think that the movie would be better if he was an hour shorter. On certain moments the film is really boring! The soundtrack is phenomenal. I love the music that James Horner had made for this movie!! Conclusion: a good historical epos, much better than Troy (Troy sucks) but not so good as Gladiator or war movies as The thin red line or Saving Private Ryan!
