Interesting review. Unfortunately, I see folks parading around at Scottish Games and gatherings in the US who take Gibson's romantic version literally and base their dress on such nonsense.

Well. Just reading the first point, "peasant leader vs. lessor noble," this the reviewer got wrong. Magnus Magnusson's Scotland history puts William Wallace as a peasant unknown entity rather than any class of nobility. History is a damn peculiar think, that.

The reviewer was also a bit silly trying to claim a negative point regarding Edward I's health. Movie timelines are contracted, Edward I was in poor (aging) health. He may have died during his last campaign, but nonetheless, died essentially in his bed due to his failing health on the campaign ... a campaign that progressed very slowly due to Edward I's health.

GREEN (as in money) is the color of choice when it comes to the eye of the beholder. If P.T. Barnum didn't say this, he should have.

When you have knowledge of a certain subject, it's hard to watch a movie that deals with it. It's like that for me and aviation movies. As a Coast Guard helicopter crewman, I can't stand the rescue scene in Top Gun. NOT how it's done, it's downright embarrassing how the survivor just dangles like that for Hollywood dramatic effect. Good Lord. It's a fun movie, though, and visually exciting for the audience.
Then there was The Guardian...entertaining, but full of politically correct stuff and other inaccuracies. I had to suffer through that movie because I was in a recruiting position at the time, and people who came into the office always asked about it. Like previously mentioned, though, movies spark lots of interest and people like to travel or do whatever is going on in the movies...and why not? After all, movies should entertain, but sometimes come across as docudrama.
