Inarguably one of the greatest movies of all time.

Rating: 10/10 (27 November 2000)

Braveheart is the ultimate movie, in that it has something for everybody. It has action, intrigue, and romance. The gripping and sometimes disturbing battle scenes are offset by the tranquil and moving scenes of emotion throughout the movie. The themes of father and son perpetuate throughout, guaranteeing a continuity that transcends the gore. Offset with a warming humor, the violence and the romance are finely balanced, and have rarely been duplicated, except in rare cases such as "The Last of The Mohicans." This is number 3 on my all time top fifty, and stands out clearly as the highpoint of Mel Gibson's career thus far. People who don't like this movie should take up another pasttime, like underwater basket weaving.
