Braveheart (Mel Gibson)

Rating: 3.0

A whole lot better than I expected, though not remotely the masterpiece
that some think.  The film's highlights are the remarkable (and
remarkably violent...be warned) battle sequences; fortunately, these come
at regular intervals, just as dramatic interest begins to wane.  Paced
extremely well, especially given its almost-three-hour running time.  My
biggest complaint is that the final scene is needlessly ridiculous; I
spent several days following the screening yelling "FREEDOM!!" at the top
of my lungs on the streets of Manhattan.
