DVD Reviews of Braveheart

DVD Review: An Excellent Movie Made Even Better
Summary: 5 Stars

I recently purchased Braveheart on Blu-Ray from Amazon during their Black Friday sale. When I watched the film, I was blown away by how beautiful the movie is in high definition. I usually cannot tell much of a difference on my television(37" Olevia with 1080i and hdmi cables) between up-scaled standard and high definition. However, while watching this movie, I was blown away at how wonderful this movie looks. While certainly no slouch on DVD, this movie in HD is a sight to behold. The colors are vibrant and the detail is extraordinary, especially in the outdoor scenes.
The movie itself is excellent. It practically swept the Academy Awards in 1995 and made millions and millions of dollars. Of course it isn't entirely historically accurate, but if I want historically accurate, I'll watch the History Channel. If you haven't seen this movie, you are in for a treat.
Another reason to get this would be the manufacturer's rebate for people who own the DVD version. If you send in the proof of purchase tab from both the DVD and Blu-Ray, as well as the form inside the case and your receipt, they will send you a ten dollar check. I think it expires around June of 2010. However, I'm not very keen on cutting up my cover insert, so I'll have to call Paramount and see if there is a way around this.
There is a second disc of extras, though most of it is rehashed from earlier releases. Overall, I would highly recommend this movie. No Blu-Ray collection is complete without it!

DVD Review: A whole new experience
Summary: 4 Stars

This movie has always been my favorite. Viewing it on Blu Ray makes it even better. Overall the picture is superb but I couldn't give 5-star rating because at some parts of the movie, the focused subject appeared blurred. This is the only set back. Sound Q is excellent.

DVD Review: Braveheart (Special Collector's Edition)
Summary: 3 Stars

Two times on this DVD it froze and then jumped ahead by 3-4 seconds. Not really a problem as far as missing anything on the movie, just think it should be perfect for the price I paid.

DVD Review: Fantastic
Summary: 5 Stars

Perfect Work they did :) image its Fantastic!! quality is amazing !

Worth every cent

DVD Review: One of the Best Epic movies of all time
Summary: 5 Stars

I must say this is by far and large my favorite movie. Ive seen it more than 30 times in my life and it never goes dull. Bluray looks amazing!! I do remember an old interview with Mel & he said they had over 6 hrs of footage, I would like to see some of that. Everything on this movie from the acting to sets & sound all top notch. Must see!!!

Description of Braveheart

A warrior marries secretly and leads a revolt against the tyrannical english king in 13th-century scotland. Oscars for best picture. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 05/18/2004 Starring: Mel Gibson James Robinson Run time: 177 minutes Rating: R Director: Mel Gibson
Mel Gibson's Oscar-winning 1995 Braveheart is an impassioned epic about William Wallace, the 13th-century Scottish leader of a popular revolt against England's tyrannical Edward I (Patrick McGoohan). Gibson cannily plays Wallace as a man trying to stay out of history's way until events force his hand, an attribute that instantly resonates with several of the actor's best-known roles, especially Mad Max. The subsequent camaraderie and courage Wallace shares in the field with fellow warriors is pure enough and inspiring enough to bring envy to a viewer, and even as things go wrong for Wallace in the second half, the film does not easily cave in to a somber tone. One of the most impressive elements is the originality with which Gibson films battle scenes, featuring hundreds of extras wielding medieval weapons. After Eisenstein's Alexander Nevsky, Orson Welles's Chimes at Midnight, and even Kenneth Branagh's Henry V, you might think there is little new that could be done in creating scenes of ancient combat; yet Gibson does it. --Tom Keogh
