Horrible!

Rating: 3/10 (3 July 2000)

By far one of the most disappointing movies I've ever seen. I was expecting so much after all the hype and the good reviews I had seen by so many other people. This movie fails in so many ways: There was way too much extraneous footage;It could have easily been an hour shorter. So many of the scenes were so cheesy. They tried to make them sentimental or emotional and it just plain failed e.g. the scene where Mel's youngest daughter starts crying, "I'll say anything you want just don't go." It felt so fake. The dialogue was poorly written also. The only well done scene in the whole movie IMO was when Mel goes after and slaughters the 20 red coats. That was the only scene that can even be partially compared to the greatness of BraveHeart.
