  I apologize in advance for coming across as an even bigger pedantic dick than usual, but I just cannot step over this film's fabricated history lesson.

  I know, I know, historical accuracy is always a tricky thing and most films present a romanticised version of events. But this film portrays 'recent' history from a rather well documented time period. And it isn't so much the small things that were changed for cinematic convenience that bother me, it's the big things.

  So it's not the fact that the Scots didn't wear kilts in those days, not did they paint their faces. There are many of those things in it, changed for the audience's understanding. Search the internet and you'll find lists…

  Review by Nakul ★★★½ 7

  Braveheart is maybe one of the most historical inaccurate films of all time. Special mention to the Battle of Stirling Bridge being fought in a fucking field. And I had a lot of problems with it this time, but I still found it absolutely captivating and powerful. Mel Gibson directs the shit out of this movie & he's clearly going out of his way to show his passion for film-making and for action in particular. His directorial technique brings an undeniable punch to the battle scenes, which resulted in some of the best battle sequences committed to film.

  mel gibson is like that history teacher who’s pretty terrible at his job, but boy is he a lot of fun to listen to.

  Review by Will Menaker ★★★★ 5

  Mel's Birth of a Nation with all his trademark flair: genocidal hatred of the British, brutal violence and the Christ-like torture and suffering of the protagonist. Not a "good" movie in the sense that I take it particularly seriously, but a "great" movie in terms of how much I enjoy watching it.
