My All-Time Favorite!!

Rating: 10/10 (18 February 2001)

Braveheart is a wonderful blend of action, romance, and drama. Mel Gibson is amazing in his portrayal of William Wallace, the Scottish hero who inspires men to fight for freedom. Although this movie does not give a very accurate description of historic events, that shouldn't make it any less enjoyable. If you want an exact description of Scottish and English history, or you tend to be critical and analyze historical accuracy in films, then this movie is not for you. However, if you want to be thoroughly entertained and inspired and feel every range of possible emotions in a 3-hour span then this movie is definitely for you. I have never before or since seen a movie that can grab hold of your emotions and keep them captive for the full length of the film like Braveheart can. I am envious of any who have not yet had the pleasure of seeing this great film because there is nothing like the first time. If you rank movies on how they make you feel, then Braveheart is simply the Greatest of All-Time!!
