Movie Wars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Braveheart is historically inaccurate, cliched and full of many continuity mistakes but it's told with such verve and romanticism that I personally find hard to ignore even though after numerous repeated viewings I can find so much to dislike. Besides I fell in love with Catherine McCormack in the film

Gladiator is a solid film full of some genuinely great moments- the ending is sublime and the battle scenes are directed with gusto but there is just something about Russell Crowe I don't like. Besides the much derided Kingdom Of Heaven from Ridley Scott was far better for me.

Gladiator 3
Braveheart 4

Certain aspects are for sure but it is a story based within the Roman era so you can see inaccuracies but the story of William Wallace is fact based so it's easier to see what those inaccuracies are.

Gladiator can take liberties with it's fact but Braveheart shouldn't really but it does. Mel doesn't like the English much does he?

Well he apparently doesn't like Jews or women either so you're not alone.

He does like a drink and souped up apocalyptic cars though. Not that that's good either.

Same but not nearly as much as Mel Gibson.
