Braveheart 2- The Englishbashing continues

Rating: 1/10 (2 August 2000)

The cheek of Mel Gibson. He made a film about how nasty the horrible English were to the Scots and made a fortune, now he completely remakes the same film, only this time sets it in pre-independence America. Oooh, those evil English are at it again, only Mel can stop them this time. Tell me, why is it not okay to shoot a prisoner if they are fighting for independence but it is heroic to chase a soldier who is RUNNING AWAY and hack him to pieces in a river? Because the cause is noble, I think not! Okay, so the English have done some appalling things, but which 1st world nation hasn't got a checkered history. Ever seen Salvador? Or Platoon...the American treatment of the Vietnamese nationals were just as bad as the English are portrayed here, and that is historical fact rather than pantomime villainy. Give me a break, and America, take your heads out of your asses!
