Résumés(1)
Fin du XIIème siècle. Dans une Ecosse écrasée sous la domination anglaise, un homme va se lever et donner le signal de la révolte. Après l'assassinat de sa femme par les soldats anglais, William Wallace, à la tête d'une armée inférieure en nombre et en armes, va défier l'envahisseur dans une lutte âpre et sauvage. Il remportera la plus grande des victoires : celle de la liberté. (20th Century Fox FR)

Gibson already proved he can do it in his directorial debut, but this time he may have surprised himself. The choreography of the battle scenes is flawless and they are very naturalistic, with blood splashing everywhere, they draw the viewer into the vortex of the fight. Gibson is surefooted also in the intimate scenes and I'd say those Oscars are well deserved.

A war film the way it should be – pathetic, cheesy, historically untrustworthy. I mean, perfect. Mel Gibson in the role of Scottish insurgent William Wallace confirms that he does the great heroes well, the battle sequences are appropriately juicy and blood-soaked, the love-story appropriately tearful and the end as heroic as it should be. I just really like Braveheart, although I always laugh a little at Mr. Wallace's "philosophical" outbursts about freedom. It's a house of cards, but it's well built!

A phenomenal masterpiece and the best historical/war film I have ever seen. For historians, the character of the queen and the overall portrayal of the Scottish struggle may be a nightmare, but Mel Gibson's determined performance and the thrilling finale are unforgettable.

There's nothing to fault in this masterpiece. Mel Gibson handled the role of director and main character perfectly. A few heroic scenes and a few brave words, underlined by James Horner's fantastic score, are all it takes to make a perfect historical drama. Freedooooooom!

One of my favorite films ever. An amazing Mel Gibson (both behind and in front of the camera), the best battles, authentic medieval atmosphere, perfect music and the wonderful Catherine McCormack.

Happiness is a beautiful thing. But you can’t buy freedom with it. 85%

I thought that seeing this movie for the umpteenth time wouldn't have the same effect on me, but even this time it made the same impression. Mel Gibson made the film brilliantly, but I also think he played the character brilliantly. The way he sometimes acts with his face is unbelievable to me. Still 100% for me.
