I think its a great movie. never heard of William Wallace before I saw it though. I definately knew who Mel Gibson was and was already a fan.

It was a fun film but as a historian we are all a bit embarrassed by the way he mangled the history. As a result of Braveheart a lot of visitors to Scotland think events actually happend that way, and of course he has mashed about 30 years history into about 2 years to create the fiction of the film. The princess for example, was a very small child when Wallace was killed, there was no romance between them. Its a very big problem in the heritage industry, lots of tourists are convinced the film is how history actually happened. Sad, because its a good film, it just didnt happen like that!

Well Mel Gibson is already one of the hottest Hollywood actor and even without William Wallace's movie he still stands out to be great.
