Reviews Roger Ebert: Mel Gibson's "Braveheart" is a fullthroated, red-blooded battle epic about William Wallace. . . Brian Lowry: A huge, bloody and sprawling epic, "Braveheart" is the sort of massive vanity piece that would be easy to disparage if it didn't essentially deliver. Rolling Stone: This rousing, romantic adventure is laced with sorrow and savagery. The audacity Gibson shows as the film's director extends to the running time, which is nearly three hours. Hamlet, with Gibson playing the melancholy Dane, was shorter, and Braveheart isn't Shakespeare. Don't panic. Though the film dawdles a bit with the shimmery, dappled love stuff involving Wallace with a Scottish peasant and a French princess, the action will pin you to your seat. With breathtaking skill, Gibson captures the exhilaration and horror of combat in some of the most vivid battle scenes ever filmed.
