Maybe a Tad Overrated, but Still Powerful Cinema from the 90s.

Rating: 8/10 (8 March 2018)

I don't know what it was when I first watched Braveheart year ago; I thought that Mel Gibson might have been a little to xenophobic in his treatment of the English in the film initially, I thought that he made the villains too black and white, the goodies too morally perfect, but still he knows how to tell a good story nonetheless. And who doesn't love Scotland anyway?
I love Mel Gibson as a director and this film is no exception of his skills, but it took more time for this one to sit right with me. Having re-evaluated the film since watching it initially, I deeply enjoy it. It's not pitch-perfect but it's good historical drama and filled with great action from Mad Max himself.
If you're a film-goer who somehow hasn't seen this film yet, go ahead. May not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's still worth it. Any 'big-bang' of a movie really is right? And hey, everyone's got their own little bit of specific feedback on any given movie.
