Braveheart, part II

Rating: 7/10 (10 July 2000)

THE PATRIOT was a nice war movie, but if you have seen the picture BRAVEHEART, you will notice that Mel Gibson's performance is exactly the same. It is a man, struggling to free his people from a higher form of government, which includes massive deaths and pain and sorrow, and deaths to the people whom he loves dearly.
THE PATRIOT has beautiful music, composed by John Williams. That is probably the greatest thing about the picture. The acting was good, especially the actor who played Gabriel. Mel Gibson gives his alright, nothing out of the ordinary performance.
THE PATRIOT also has a few bits of comedy which actually came to me out of surprise. The dogs are funny.
It's an average movie.
Grade: B-
