Decent movie, but not EVEN CLOSE to BRAVEHEART!

Rating: 7/10 (6 July 2000)

Braveheart is one of my top 3 favorite movies, so when I saw the previews for this, I was expecting a terrific movie. I was a little let down. Basically, this movie was a more mainstream version of Braveheart-just imagine Braveheart with cheesy speeches, predictable scenes and laim-hatchet fighting sequences. A couple scenes in particular, the girl giving the corney speech in the church and the girls crying "Papa!" "Papa!" made me roll my eyes a bit. There were some other scenes that were somewhat laughable. Don't get me wrong, this movie is somewhat entertaining, but just don't expect an epic like BRAVEHEART. One thing I do like about this movie is that even though it does not ACCURATELY represent history, it does remind us of the sacrafice our forefathers made to give us this land we take for granted.
I give this movie a 7/10.
