One of the best movies ever...

Rating: 10/10 (10 December 1999)

Braveheart is one of the greatest films ever made. Mel Gibson shows off his talent both in front of and behind the camera, proving once and for all that he is one of the most talented men in film today.
The scenery in this movie is pure eye-candy. The rocky highlands of the British Isles provide a breathtaking back drop to a story of revenge, freedom, and love. Set and costume design perfectly capture the essence of medieval Europe. The supporting cast is absolutely delightful, from Wallace's lady loves and best friends to the hateful King of England. The roles are all acted to perfection, making you genuinely care about the characters.
My only real gripe is that the enemy (in this case the english) are not really portrayed as people. This is perhaps for the best, however, given the large-scale slaughter William Wallace inflicts upon them.
In summary, Braveheart is an absolute work of art. Everything about it exudes perfection. A perfect 10!
