Braveheart II

Rating: Null/10 (1 July 2000)

Have you seen Braveheart? Then, basically you've seen this movie. I know a lot of people are falling in love with this movie every minute and will refuse to believe that its a carbon copy of Braveheart (and several other films....), but can those people tell me what was SO different about it? I think the execs that threw this thing together must've sat around asking each other, "How can we make this film without people saying that its a Braveheart ripoff, but at the same time borrowing (stealing) all of the elements that the general movie-going public adored?"
Well, whatever you came up with....it didn't work. Sure, they raised the bar a little...it was nice and gorey. I'm sure the 9 year old next to me enjoyed that. But, overall, the plot was EXACTLY the same, with just a few little details slightly altered.
I guess I'm not the "general movie-going public". I expect more. I am sick of type-casted Kinkoized films. Hollywood: I demand more. And hopefully, the more of the public will get sick of the same schlock over and over again. (Sorry Mel...I do respect you...just, please be careful...you're treading on thin "typecast" waters...)
