"Braveheart"

This was the first time in watching "Braveheart" that I felt like the movie was dated. Now, this could be due to the fact that of the movies I watched surrounding it, it is the oldest of them, plus it was the one I watched on DVD as opposed to the others being on Blu-ray. But despite the dated feel and look of it, it did not take away from how great of a movie it is. Sure, the story itself when you think about it may be pretty much Hollywood cliche, but it still doesn't take away from the caliber of filmmaking that is involved. Mel Gibson as William Wallace may not be the best (he himself said that he thought he was a decade too old to play the part), but he's definitely not bad and those surrounding him are definitely good. And Mel Gibson as director does a fantastic job with these characters and the story. I just hope that it hasn't reached that point in time where it's old enough to feel dated, but not old enough to be considered dated and therefore understanding of the dated feel because it's an older movie. Either way, you can't help but respect the quality film that "Braveheart" is.
