Braveheart, Widescreen Edition DVD Review

Mel Gibson portrays William Wallace, a Scottish rebel who fights against the tyranny of England and her king, Edward the Longshanks. Wallace's new bride was murdered by the English, causing him to rebel against them. His uprising catapulted the Scottish rebellion against the rule of England.

Mel Gibson stars in his greatest role of all time. He is fantastic as William Wallace. He really makes you believe that he is the character. Gibson's performance makes you want to follow him into battle against the English. He also directed this epic, which is doubly impressive.

Patrick McGoohan is perfectly cast as Edward the Longshanks. His character is brutal and vicious. He was a wonderful choice to play Wallace's foe. Gibson's direction was simply spectacular. This film had some of the best directing and editing of all time. The battle scenes were vividly realistic. The fighting was beautifully choreographed to depict the brutality of the time.

Braveheart is one of the greatest movies to come out of Hollywood in a long, long time.
