Mel Gibson's first official movie as producer paints a tragic, and sometimes beautiful, picture of what sacrifices must be made for freedom. Mel plays a thirteen-century freedom fighting Scott who motivates his countrymen to fight against the corrupt government.

Mel Gibson's masterpiece @ #27

Braveheart is an epic movie that takes a viewer's breath away. The invigorating battle scenes, the incredible acting, and the fierce power of love all captivated me when I first saw this movie. James Horner's music is a masterpiece--it adds elegance and dimension to the magnificent film. Mel Gibson's zealous passion as his character William Wallace is truly an inspiration. Scots are very dignified, highly revered people, and this movie really presented Scotland's pride.Everything in this film was done tastefully. Even the ending, which by the way is heart-wrenching, was done artistically, as Wallace sees his wife during such a traumatizing event. Of course, nothing was better than the rich satisfaction of watching Wallace scream for freedom, freedom and not mercy. This epic film must be w...

Bravehaert: Interest and Inspirational

This was definitely one of the best movies i have seen in all my life. I was 9 when i first saw this movie and it was so well put together that i understood it like i was there. There was so much action and adventure. Mel Gibson was a genius for making this movie and i complement him. At the beginning of the movie it starts off really good unlike a lot of other movies that start off really slow but then when it gets in the middle it picks up so much more and becomes just an action packed thrill ride. It has all the basic elements in it a love story an epic hero trying to stop the cruel and harsh oppression. With combining action adventure and even a bit of comedy this for me is probably one of the greatest movies that i have ever seen in my entire life.

A grand epic with only a few problems.

A grand epic and a good one. Well done battle scenes with a great performance by Patrick McGoohan. Most of the other performances are fine his is just the best. It has good scenery and I liked how it gave out the interesting strategies used by Wallace that helped him win. It is not perfect though because of some historical inaccuracy that bothers some more than others. The other problem is Mel Gibson does stick out like a sore thumb in the film. I think it would have been better if he was just the director and cast someone else in the leading role. I mean he is okay but the lead could have been better, mostly just because he just does not look from that time period he really has the same problem in the Patriot but at least there he does not use and accent.

Pros: Well done action seque...
