ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

The crown jewel of 1995's summer blockbusters appears to have arrived early. It's hard to imagine any motion picture released between now and August matching Mel Gibson's Braveheart for spectacle. ...read the complete Braveheart movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

Lately, certain films have come in pairs: two Robin Hoods, two Columbuses, two Earps, and now two Highlander epics. Rob Roy, the first, is a fine motion picture. ...read the complete Braveheart movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice

Winner of five Academy Awards including Best Picture, Mel Gibson's stunning 1995 epic about the life of legendary Scottish freedom fighter William Wallace is one of the crown jewels in Paramount's catalog of titles, not to mention one of the films most ...read the complete Braveheart movie review at Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice

Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

Mel Gibson's "Braveheart" is a fullthroated, red-blooded battle epic about William Wallace, the legendary Scots warrior who led his nation into battle against the English in the years ...read the complete Braveheart movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

filmcritic.com (Christopher Null)

Mel Gibson deserves a lot more credit than I've been giving him. A few years ago, no one could have conceived that the action star could pull off the lead role in a dazzling, epic, historical adventure-thriller-romance, let alone direct it. ...read the complete Braveheart movie review at filmcritic.com (Christopher Null)

The Story of William Wallace's heroic defense of his heartland, the noble Scotland, if the perfect movie. It's got everything: First Love, Second Love (involving a french beetoch), War, Triumph, Sacrifice...is there anything more noble?...read the complete Braveheart (1995) review at eFilmCritic

DVD Town (John J. Puccio)

The first thing we see in "Braveheart" is the Scottish landscape, and along with the battle scenes it is probably what one remembers most about the film. Not that its star and director, Mel Gibson, doesn't make an impression as Sir William Wallace,...read the complete Braveheart (1995) review at DVD Town (John J. Puccio)

Movierapture

Mel Gibson's Braveheart is an overwrought, silly, hackneyed cartoon. Throughout the movie's duration, the director makes continuous and exclusive use of stereotyped, manipulative tricks in his vain efforts to evoke sympathy, horror, love, or whatever...read the complete Braveheart (1995) review at Movierapture

Ralph Benner

You gotta give to Mel Gibson what he deserves -- a movie Hall of Shame award for having his publicity machine spend $25 million dollars to buy ten Oscar nominations (including best makeup!) for a movie that, thrice at the box office gate, only collected...read the complete Braveheart (1995) review at Ralph Benner
