A good film...score: 7 (out of 10)

Rating: Null/10 (13 December 1998)

When I saw the commercials about it...I thought to myself...a story about Scotland's greatest hero. Fine. Sounds interesting. So, I went and saw it. Prior to this, I had already seen the restored version of "Spartacus" (1960). This was my only dissatisfaction with the movie - how much it resembled "Spartacus". Another film which I thought it resembled was "El Cid" (1961) - a story about Spain's greatest hero. Oh well...the fighting scenes are violent...extremely violent!!! The acting, cinematography, etc. are superb - the only real joys of the film.
