The movie Braveheart encompasses all the human emotions, frailties, trials and tribulations that make up our human existence and this movie does it superbly. I love it. FREEDOM!

My husband would give this movie 5-stars, hand-down. I only gave it four because I think it's a little too long, and I think Mel Gibson overacts in some spots. It's a good movie, though.

Though it is hard to distinguish from "The Patriot" in many respects, this film features classic leading man Mel. Even if the history is skewed for dramatic purposes, the film is inspirational, and this BD has so many extras that it comes with a second disc.

When I was younger, my brother became obsessed with Braveheart, even bought the soundtrack at one point in time, do not know if he still has it or not. He also had the VHS tape and DVD as well. When I saw the Blu-Ray sitting in front of me, I knew I had to get this movie due to all the memories I had attached to it.
Now i won't get into the overall plotline of the movie itself, because that would end up taking me a long time, and even so, I won't argue that there are some historical inaccuracies and liberties taken with the account of the life of William Wallace. Those do not take away from the scope and beauty of the film itself though.
The story is poignant and makes you feel just about every human emotion in the books. It is truly an emotional tour de force that brings it all out of you, you'll laugh, cry, get angry, have a happy feeling through it all and by the time the film comes to an end, you'll be a hot mess.
The Blu-Ray version adds even more to that impact, the picture quality is just amazing, clear as crystal and really accentuates the beauty of the Scottish landscape. Everything is just amped up 1000 times over other versions of the film, colours pop, details are clearly shown that I recall were blurry before and the battle scenes are truly gruesome to say the least.
The sound has so much more punch as well. Every sword clash, every battle cry, every spoken word of dialogue comes through without any static or problems at all. It is truly lossless audio to say the least, and brings home how talented these actors and actresses truly are.
All in all, I wouldn't recommend showing this film to your kids though. It is one that if you ask me, is better experienced with teens or adults. But either way, get out the popcorn, soda and pizza for this. Braveheart is a classic, and this Blu-Ray transfer makes it even more so.

Mel Gibson's film about William Wallace is not very accurate but it is immensely entertaining. This epic film makes for an entertaining evening's viewing and the Blu Ray comes packed with bonus features. The price is right and the value is there so as long as you are not hung up by the liberties taken with the history of William Wallace.

"Braveheart" is quite simply, one of the best and most successful movies ever created and a huge part of that success comes from the efforts extended by Mel Gibson, as he wore three different hats for this masterpiece, those being producer, director and star.
