Eletään 1200-lukua ja William Wallace (Mel Gibson) on juuri palannut Skotlantiin vietettyään vuosia kotimaansa ulkopuolella. Skotlannin kuningas on kuollut jättämättä perillistä ja Englannin kuningas – häikäilemätön pakana joka kantaa nimeä Edvard Pitkäsääri – on kaapannut kruunun itselleen. William Wallacen rohkeus ja raivo saa hänen johtamansa hajanaisen armeijan – ja kansan - yhdistämään voimansa ja nousemaan päättäväisesti ylivoimaista valloittajaa vastaan. (SF Film Fin.)

Gibson already proved he can do it in his directorial debut, but this time he may have surprised himself. The choreography of the battle scenes is flawless and they are very naturalistic, with blood splashing everywhere, they draw the viewer into the vortex of the fight. Gibson is surefooted also in the intimate scenes and I'd say those Oscars are well deserved.

A war film the way it should be – pathetic, cheesy, historically untrustworthy. I mean, perfect. Mel Gibson in the role of Scottish insurgent William Wallace confirms that he does the great heroes well, the battle sequences are appropriately juicy and blood-soaked, the love-story appropriately tearful and the end as heroic as it should be. I just really like Braveheart, although I always laugh a little at Mr. Wallace's "philosophical" outbursts about freedom. It's a house of cards, but it's well built!

There's nothing to fault in this masterpiece. Mel Gibson handled the role of director and main character perfectly. A few heroic scenes and a few brave words, underlined by James Horner's fantastic score, are all it takes to make a perfect historical drama. Freedooooooom!

One of my favorite films ever. An amazing Mel Gibson (both behind and in front of the camera), the best battles, authentic medieval atmosphere, perfect music and the wonderful Catherine McCormack.

Happiness is a beautiful thing. But you can’t buy freedom with it. 85%

I thought that when I see this movie for the umpteenth time, it will no longer have the same impact on me, but even this time it made the same impression on me. Mel Gibson directed the film brilliantly, but I still think he also played the character brilliantly. The way he sometimes acts with his face is unbelievable to me. For me, it's still 100%.
