 REELINSIDER.COM - BRAVEHEART (1995)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-21)
Despite its well-executed and bloody battles, winning supporting cast and straightforward story about the tumult of nation building in the British Isles, however, the movie falters whenever it veers away from Wallace's civil war and turns to his love life.
The joy of watching the union of Gibson and Marceau notwithstanding, the interlude proves Wallace's actions a betrayal of his once-defended wife and, for me at least, undercut the force of the movie as it drags on and on.
Partially this sentiment lay in Gibson's off-screen homophobia along with a male-dominated return to classical Hollywood style where good guys are handsome and strong and must, by rights of our colonial heritage, beat up and kill bad guys who talk with British accents.
