totally unbiased ( honest )

Rating: Null/10 (11 July 2001)

well, this is a tricky one, braveheart is a massively tragic, moving and atmospheric movie, concerning love, hate and, of course freedom.
a lot of critics gets in a tiffle over the obvious historical innacurracy, but to be quite honest.... WHO CARES?
true most of it has been "enhanced" by the pen of randall wallace, however it is only to make the whole experience all the more enjoyable. Braveheart doesnt claim to be the most accurate portrayal of what happened during wallace's rebellion. so pipe down. You dont go to a movie to learn ( thats what the discovery channel is for) you go to the cinema to be entertained, and what better way than to see the english gettin their arses kicked.
true most of the critics will be english, but hey i doubt the japanese population were chomping at the bit to praise Pearl harbor.
as a scotsmen myself, theres something about braveheart that stirrs the blood, sure you can say " we hate the english" and thats the only reason, but that has very little to do with it. true, i do enjoy seeing the english get beaten ( particularly at cricket and tennis, poor old tim.) but to rejoice in viewing such slaughter just because its englishmen is stupid, narrowminded and quite ridiculous.
braveheart is a moving and very powerful epic, which shows the hopes and fears that we all have and to be quite honest, mels accent may be s**t but once again WHO CARES? its not as if he was gunning for the best accent award at the oscars was he?
on scoring braveheart, 8-10 is what i would give it.if you havent seen it, and i really doubt it, Just sit down and watch it, and give the heave ho to anyone who says its biased, unaccurate crap, their probably english anyway.
