Summary: One of the Best Films Ever Made
Review: I have both versions of this movie...Widescreen as well as the regular screen format. This movie was obviously worth it...If you haven't seen it, you haven't experienced the true magic of the way a movie should be made. Now my tapes have worn out after viewing them so many times...I'm in search of the DVD now...and still no luck... WATCH THE FILM THOUGH...I promise you will love it:)

Summary: The movie is awsome
Review: They had to many characters. The Irishman, the old man, his son, and Wallace could have defeated the entire British army themselves.

Summary: mildy entertaining
Review: Who wrote the lines for the princess? Sure she looked great, but wouldn't it have been better if she had some depth? When Mel asks her why she is helping him, she breathes "because of the way you're looking at me now..." Come on! Give us some credit. I like to imagine her saying something like "because the King's an a** who will ruin us" or "I believe in your cause." Mel's sexy and all, but is he really worth the secrets of a kingdom?

Summary: Gripping view of Scottish history
Review: Yes, it's historically not quite accurate. Yes, it's extremely gory. Yes, Mel Gibson gets upstaged at times. And yes, it won the Best Picture and Best Director Academy Awards for a reason. It's a great picture. It has humor, pathos, romance, regret, hate, joy, intimate moments and epic ones, action scenes and great music. What's not to like? Be sure to get the wide screen version, lest you miss some of the bits of business that were so important but not directly in the center of the screen. Then sit back and enjoy movie making at its best.

Summary: Exciting mixture of history, fiction, passion, and romance.
Review: This movie had quite an impact on me -- so much so that I watched it dozens of times. To tell you the truth, however, this movie is much more powerful on a big screen, but since that is not always a convenient option, the video is the next best thing. I liked every aspect of this movie: the cast, the script, the music, the cinematography, the performance, the editing, the costumes, the horsemanship, the sets. It is based on a true story, but is highly fictionalized. I think a more accurate movie could be made that would be just as exciting. I'm glad that this film won so many awards (e.g. Mel Gibson won Best Director from both the Oscars and the Golden Globes), because I think it deserved to. I didn't even notice flaws in the film until I had seen it over a dozen times. The story is extremely intense. It is very violent and graphic, but it still conveys some messages on values, such as integrity. I might also add that there are some extremely beautiful women in this movie; the bloody war and politics are offset by moments of sweet romance. This film is as stimulating to the ears as it is to the eyes, mind, and heart. In addition to the great sound editing, and beautiful music, you get to hear many interesting languages and dialects. Most of the movie is in modern English, but you get to hear it spoken in interesting English and Scottish accents. The man who played Malcolm Wallace had the best, most exotic sounding Scottish accent of all; I wished he was featured in more of the movie just so I could listen to him talk. There are small scenes in French, with subtitles, and a bit of Latin, too. There are words from the Scots dialect of English, and even a few Gaelic words if you listen carefully! The medieval world would be an awful place to live (and die), but it's exciting to pay that world a small, three-hour visit through a well done film like this. END

Summary: The best movie of all time
Review: This movie did not with the Oscar for best movie of '95, and best director for nothing. This is nothing short of a masterpiece. Epic battles, moving romance, exciting plot, and deep characters. Based on a true story, and not predictable like most other movies. Mel Gibson does an exceptional job at makeing the viewer feel like he's taking part in the movie. And a wonderful soundtrack by James Horner!!

Summary: I loved it more than any other movie. (I'm 13 yr. old)
Review: It was the best movie I have ever seen. BY FAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The gore was ok for me (being a girl) and the jokes were very funny. The love story was soooooooooo beautiful and the real story was amazing. I cried at the end of that movie as much as I cried when I fell out of our car at 30mph. The acting couldn't have been better, even if it were the real people themselves, and the people chosen for the cast were perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even though I'm only 13, I've seen a lot of movies, and of all different kinds, but this was by far my favorite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. If there is any chance of me meeting Mel Gibson I would take it. I love him: the way he acts, his looks, and his personality.....I respect him!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: A Man's Film.
Review: The best guy's movie ever? It's hard to say. Some things are so subjective it's tough to make any determination. I personally just bought it on DVD and watched it for a third time last night. Loyalty, honor, virtue, desire, love, and the experience of platonic friendship as being an end in itself; these values are the embodiment of what makes us men. I'm very glad it was made. It may well not be the greatest movie ever but there can't be too many that rate higher. It's incredibly entertaining and the ending foreshadows what Gibson (and his ICON Films) eventually did with "The Passion." A must see.
