Very overrated

Rating: 6/10 (1 August 2016)

This movie is very overrated. It is in no way historically accurate. It is incredibly one-sided, with the Scots being portrayed as innocent heroes while the English are pure evil who rape women and kill children. The large amount of fighting and gore was unnecessary and quickly became boring to watch. The romance was laughable. Wallace's wife only served as a plot device. She was killed after attacking a soldier who tried to rape her. Wallace was so enraged by this that he kills half the Englishmen. Except then he completely forgets about her when he has an affair with the French princess, which by the way was completely ridiculous. The movie is also homophobic, portraying the very stereo-typically gay prince as weak and incapable of pretty much anything. Lastly the movie is way too long.
