Overhyped!

Rating: 7/10 (28 November 2000)

Can anyone say Braveheart II? While a good movie, this film does not deserve the immense hype surrounding it. The overuse of unnecessary violence also detracts from the overall merits of the movie. The plot was simplistic at best, and any avid moviegoer will be able to predict the whole movie right from the start. While Russell Crowe is talented, this is hardly his best work, contrary to what the popular media would say. Regardless, it was well done and gets 7/10.
