The movie is full of battle scenes, all of them interchangeable.

Many movies deal with battlefield heroics. Few seriously attempt to define heroism.

Mel Gibson throws his whole heart into a role. No one acts with more conviction, and his errors are honest ones.
February 24, 2014
Well-made but uneven, Braveheart has some grand moments -- but few pertain to Gibson's less than charismatic performance as the resourceful hero.
February 24, 2014
Braveheart is a stouthearted, old-fashioned hero movie in which honorable Scottish underdogs fight nasty British nobles. It lacks refinement, but it's a satisfying war story (and mediocre love story) in the grand Hollywood tradition.

The screenplay says repeatedly that thinking is more important than fighting, yet problems are always met with muscle-power in the movie, which wallows in violence and vengeance every chance it gets.
February 24, 2014
A lavish, entertaining spectacle full of manly men, dastardly villains, rousing battles and women who easily see Mel's hero potential through all that messy hair.

Mel Gibson's Braveheart is a rousing, romantic battle epic featuring a cast of thousands, many without heads or arms.
February 24, 2014
In addition to staging battle scenes well, Gibson also manages to recreate the filth and mood of 700 years ago.

Braveheart has a gut-wrenching, bone-breaking, sword-thwacking verve.
February 24, 2014
As the star of the new, epic-scaled Braveheart, Gibson celebrates yet another man of selfless valor. And as its director, he displays some daring of his own.
February 24, 2015
This is by no means a bad effort in the historical epic genre, since Gibson has made himself into a more than passable director and, for the battles of Stirling Bridge and Falkirk alone, deserves an Oscar of some sort.
