Braveheart

As the title says, definitely one of the worst films I've ever seen (and I'm Scottish). I can understand why people like it, yeah some Scottish guy led some Scots against an English army and won, and that may be what actually happened at first, two battles maybe? I definitely know of one (Which I don't recall seeing in the film), think I read about another. But he eventually did lose and then fled for around 7 years and I don't recall seeing that in the film. But yes, I'm sure he was dragged through the streets (naked) by a horse, hanged for a short time and cut off his man hood and then beheaded him.

I know I'm basing this review on the horrible accuracy of this film, but its not just that. I'm not a massive Mel Gibson fan, and that isn't the reason either, but I just don't understand why they didn't get someone Scottish or someone who could hold a good Scottish accent through a film to play W.W, even though I guess he did do a good job in playing him but I don't how he'd act but even the rest of the acting was sup par.

I think the thing that makes me hate the film most is not the film itself its the people that watch it and get fanatical about it Scottish pride. And its always the neds and football fans that take it so seriously. How can you base pride for your country and hatred on another on a film like this? It just makes me want to strangle somebody.

Unless I lost all ability to think for myself and can get passed the terrible inaccuracy I just will never be able to enjoy it.

Complete waste of time and I've watched it more than once, tried to enjoy but I just couldn't. The only thing this film makes me feel is shame, especially during his 'freedom' speech, it just makes me want to put my head in my hands and cry.

If you're some teenage in secondary school by all means watch it so you don't feel left out (since people who really care for it are teenagers), but if you've even got half a brain I would just steer clear of this.
