Errrmmm....

Rating: 5/10 (25 October 2006)

I quite like this film, and this is a guilty pleasure. Guilty because I am a bit of a history fan and this is an "historical" film. Historical in the same way as a few other films, such as One Million Years B.C. and Star Wars (a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...) It's story and acting are not bad for a major American film, and the action is amazing. But historical accuracy..... Mel Gibson creates a likable character, and throughout the film, even as somebody raised in England I found myself routing for Wallace to win in all situations. It does portray the English as Ogres, but throughout history most races have been others demons. Overall, an enjoyable enough film, with great action, just don't try to revise a history exam while watching the film!
