Crude, pompous, ridiculous and the worst movie of the year

Rating: 1/10 (11 January 2003)

Please remove the pen or keyboard from Randall Wallace's hands so that he may never make us endure his awful excuse of screenwriting. He got away with Braveheart thanks to Mel Gibson directing but since then has revealed himself to be as crude as the worst of them. Mr Wallace needs to look at 1) learning to write subtext, 2) learning to avoid exposition, and 3) research the historical facts you're writing about. Furthermore, as a director, for god's sake give the audience some credit and avoid the corny sentiment.
