Looks pretty decent. Pine is a heck of an actor.

Is this a prequel to Braveheart? Wasn't Robert the Bruce the one that turned on William Wallace?

I'm guessing not. And yes....that Robert the Bruce....I believe.

Most history books say the rebellion failed because the people thought an English or Scottish rule wouldn’t matter to them, make their lives better.

The average person didn’t understand freedom and having your own country at that time in our development as humans.

Robert the Bruce led a helluva life. Lots of material to cover.

In the theatrical cut of Braveheart after the Mel Gibson voiceover they had an ending caption of how many years Scotland had independence from England

Technically would be a sequel to Braveheart time period I believe..

The local noble was much more important to the lives of the peasants than the king. The king was normally far off and had little effect on their lives. The nobility on the other hand did care.

definitely looks awesome .

Wow.

Shit’s heavy man.

I’m going to have to think on this one awhile.

thought it was flat out awesome! (especially that final battle)

Very good. Pine was great in the role.

Thank you for this thread, fellas. I wouldn't have known to watch this great film otherwise.

Really well-written and directed and the acting was unbelievable.

Was he though? Looked like a scrawny nerd with a beer belly to me. Was hard for me to see 'greatness' there. I watched it yesterday. Was pretty good.

This was a pretty good flick. The most impressive scenes involved horse stunts. Not sure how they do that these days w/PETA and all...

My nitpicks w/Hollywood on these movies though:

Sound effects guys are working too hard. How come every time a guy pulls out a sword from a leather holder, it makes a metal on metal loud swoosh sound? Every damn time. Or when they throw a spear into a guy's chest. Does that really make a sound? Don't think so.

Why do they have to make the hero such a sweetheart? Nice to everybody, let's his nemesis live, chicks dig him, etc. Any historic leader needs to be ruthless, not Mr. Nice Guy.

Can we get some actors w/wooden, missing teeth and scragly hair? These people are just too good looking.

So I watched it late a couple nights ago. That was dumb. This is one that sticks with you awhile.

I didn’t know the history of it, so the outcome was kind of in doubt in my head.

The thing that the film really did well was show the suffering he endured.

It also wasn’t what I expected in terms of length of historical events. It’s pretty much one battle. Other stuff happened but it was one battle. But that really allowed them to build up the suffering.

Really well done imo. It didn’t try to do too much and did what it set out to do really well.

Isn’t that the crux of the show?

I will say I was pretty WTF!? When


What am I missing.

I'm sure it didn't happen that way IRL.

I suppose

According to this William Wallace wasn't even the real Braveheart and Robert the Bruce never turned on him

I thought it was a very good movie no matter,thanks for the heads up Pest.

Because it didn't happen in real life.

Thought this was meh.

It was worth the time because I'm a bit of a history buff. But, it was made too cheap. I understand battles cost a lot of money. There were a ton more battles not filmed. The final battle in the movie was well done. Unless they are doing a sequel, its just a cheap knockoff.
