Mel Gibson's Oscar-winning 1995 Braveheart is an impassioned epic about William Wallace, the 13th-century Scottish leader of a popular revolt against England's tyrannical Edward I (Patrick McGoohan). Gibson cannily plays Wallace as a man trying to stay out of history's way until events force his hand, an attribute that instantly resonates with several of the actor's best-known roles, especially Mad Max. The subsequent camaraderie and courage Wallace shares in the field with fellow warriors is pure enough and inspiring enough to bring envy to a viewer, and even as things go wrong for Wallace in the second half, the film does not easily cave in to a somber tone. One of the most impressive elements is the originality with which Gibson films battle scenes, featuring hundreds of extras wielding medieval weapons. After Eisenstein's Alexander Nevsky, Orson Welles's Chimes at Midnight, and even Kenneth Branagh's Henry V, you might think there is little new that could be done in creating scenes of ancient combat; yet Gibson does it. --Tom Keogh

 Still the best February 5, 2010
D. Bond (Canada)
This movie is still my favorite. I am so glad I purchased it in Blue Ray. I find this movie timeless. Worth every cent.
 Not that great... February 2, 2010

I haven't seen Braveheart until a couple of weeks ago when I had to watch it in Alternate Forms of Literature class and I was excited about seeing it because everyone was talking about how good of a movie it was. In my opinion they couldn't of been any more wrong about the movie. Sure, the movie had decent acting and cinematography but all of the facts and the storyline of the movie SUCKED!
I really did not like how he William Wallace got married and then just ends up doing the princess soon after his wife dies, in real events William and the Princess were not even anywhere near the same age. It really took out of the movie for me also because William has all of these epic battle scenes but then he just ends up getting tortured and dies and that made me think a lot less of William as a hero. Overall the movie had some okay fight scenes and the dialogue wasn't bad but this movie to me definately did not live up to the hype.

W. Brown (Mpls Mn)
If you like Mel Gibson this movie is a must have. Great story line, great acting by everyone involved. May be the best directed movie ever, by Mel himself of course. I already had it on DVD but wanted it one Blu-ray. The picture and sound quality are much better than the DVD. Not the best quality picture I have seen on Blu-ray but noticeably better than the DVD. The extras are much better than whats on the DVD. Mel worked his ars off making this movie. He was lucky he did not end up in the hospital in the process. Now Amazon needs to put some of Mel's other Blu-ray titles on sale. We Were Soldiers, Patriot etc.
 Mel Gibson delivers in every sense of the word... February 1, 2010
T. D. Pearce (Alpine)
William Wallace's story couldn't have been depicted more powerfully than it was in this film. Gibson is ahead of his time with his battle scenes and effects. Could have done without the breast scene. This movie sucks you in beginning to end. A must-own for any Blu-Ray collection.
Great movie. January 30, 2010
Well not much to say about this movie is just really great love it. action. and great acting front everyone in the movie.
