Editorial Review:
A stupendous historical saga, Braveheart won five Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director for star Mel Gibson. He plays William Wallace, a 13th-century Scottish commoner who unites the various clans against a cruel English King, Edward the Longshanks (Patrick McGoohan). The scenes of hand-to-hand combat are brutally violent, but they never glorify the bloodshed. There is such enormous scope to this story that it works on a smaller, more personal scale as well, essaying love and loss, patriotism and passion. Extremely moving, it reveals Gibson as a multitalented performer and remarkable director with an eye for detail and an understanding of human emotion. (His first directorial effort was 1993's Man Without a Face.) The film is nearly three hours long and includes several plot tangents, yet is never dull. This movie resonates long after you have seen it, both for its visual beauty and for its powerful story. --Rochelle O'Gorman
Braveheart [VHS] Reviews:
Good movie, bad service! 
2009-12-15 - Braveheart is a GREAT movie!!!! But we specifically searched out a full-screen edition to order. And when it arrived it was WIDE-SCREEN!!! It was sent from one of Amazon's affiliates, and when we contacted them, they said they would send me a return label, and refund my money in the bank in 3 to 4 weeks. Told me they couldn't give me a full-screen, I would have to reorder all over if I wanted full-screen, and it was not availble at that time. And the paper it was sent in maybe cheaper for the shipper, but the cases get broken in the mail. Because Braveheart and I just recieved Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and both cases were broken. I would suggest if you don't have the movie in the format the person wants, don't offer it.

History is Written by the Victors 
2009-12-15 - Yes, it is horribly inaccurate, but that doesn't matter to most of us. If I want a historical depiction of actual events I'll watch a documentary.
This movie has something for everyone; fighting, action, comedy, gore (too much for some), revenge, and an absolutely great love story. Not sure why I'm writing a review, seeing how everyone has seen it already, but here we are.
I'd buy from this person again. 
2009-12-09 - The DVD was in good conditions. Arrived in the time period mentioned. Overall no problems with the DVD and I was satisfied. Hope this helps!
Best movie ever made 
2009-12-07 - real life experience for the age of deceit and cruelty with much war time gore overlying an inspiring and captivating story .
Dissapointed in this Blu-Ray version. 
2009-12-05 - This being one of my favorite movies of all time, I must say I was really dissapointed in what this Blu-Ray version had to offer. Not a single deleted scene. On NBC, Braveheart was aired with added footage. Why was this footage not included in this 2-disc version? Owning the DVD and having seen this movie probaly 10 times, simply having a little sharper picture doesn't justify this purchase. The special features in the original DVD are actually better than the Blu-Ray. If an extended version is ever offered I will be the first to buy it, but I wish I hadn't wasted my money on this one.
