    Mel's Birth of a Nation with all his trademark flair: genocidal hatred of the British, brutal violence and the Christ-like torture and suffering of the protagonist. Not a "good" movie in the sense that I take it particularly seriously, but a "great" movie in terms of how…

    Now this is what I call and absolute masterpiece of a film. Ignore the long runtime, because this movie is so amazing that you almost forget how long it is and before you know it, it’s already over. Everything about it was just so phenomenal that I wanted to cry. 10/10 hands down

    New favourite. It’s got everything a movie needs, the action, romance, tragedy, everything. It was amazing, I was also pleasantly surprised when the credits came around and I found out Mel Gibson not only starred in it but also directed and produced…that’s impressive!

    It's unclear when Mel Gibson became a combination of Sam Peckinpah and Akira Kurosawa, but there's no question that Braveheart is one of the best epic movies of the '90s... Scene after scene takes your breath away with its sometimes cruel beauty.

    Braveheart was Mel Gibson at his testosterone finest. A massive aggressive movie that looks a little into the Scottish rebellion. Very bloody, very 90s, very Mel Gibson in a kilt.

    Great movie it’s long but it’s powerful and meaningful and it gives u pride for a country that isnt even mine. Mel Gibson was awesome from start to finish.

Gibson's raw energy and storytelling power in Braveheart are undeniable. If the film doesn't meet his ambitions, it's because he set the bar so high.
