Should not be the first rated R movie ever seen, but will be enjoyed by all audiences about 16 or 17
The themes are incredible, showing that main character's sense of honor is timeless and beautiful. The pervasive images of freedom goes to show all that we have is taken for granted.
Be careful around the violence, and the sexual behavior, which is rather mild and not memorable, but definately inapropriate for most kids and worthy of pre-screening!

Great for older teens and anyone mature enough to handle it.
A great movie. But only for people who are mature enough to handle it. There is a lot of blood, gore, and violence. There is a sex scene. There are also a few curse words. Basically this movie is definitely not for the easily offended. It does have a positive message however. It teaches those watching it that sometimes one must sacrifice everything if it means freedom.

Mel Gibson's braveheart- outstanding, well done
Mel Gibson's Braveheart is one of the best movies i have ever seen. This movie is about a man named william wallace (Mel Gibson) who is fighting for his and his mens freedom. They want Ireland to be left alone and be free. This movie contains lots of brutal warfare. A lot of scenes are bloody. The battle sequences last very long. there is only 1 nudity scene where it shows a women's breast for about 10 seconds. No language. Overall, this is one of the best movies i have ever seen.

Amazing
An extremely epic, extremely well- done, and an extremely historically inaccurate film. A personal favorite of mine. Quite bloody (A lot like Gladiator's level of violence) but not grotesque. (Not counting the gruesome scene of torture near the end). The raping of William Wallace's wife is rather on the scary side, but CSM is over-reacting about the sex scene between Wallace & his wife. This film is great, but you might want to give your kids a history lesson before and after viewing it, for it lacks facts. Acually, you might not want to show this to your kid at all. Know your kid. Squeamish? Just don't let 'em. Otherwise a grand film production.

A brutal,beautifull epic for older teens and adults
Brutal yet very touching and superbly done war epic about a commoner who becomes a millitary leader who fights for the freedom of his scottish comrades. William Wallace(main character) is one of the greatest heroes to grace the movies,EVER He is courageous,bold,noble and selfless. He may not be perfect but that is what makes him so fascinating. The writing is great and there are many great supporting characters and many excellent performances. What I really like though is the message about the cost of freedom and standing up for what you believe in,medievil warfare style. It is obvious that great passion was put in to this project because that is what we see being performed on the screen. It does have scenes of graphic and brutal warfare,as well as a torture that,while not graphic,is emotionally unbearable. But it does have some very strong and positive themes and is excellently executed and well worth seeing.

This film, loosely based on 14th-century history, is suitable for more mature teenagers who may be interested in the subject matter. It is not for kids as it is a very bloody, violent film with some rape and sex scenes. All of these scenes do, however, fit in the context of the film. It's definitely something that a more mature teenager would have no problem handling.

Rough Film That Few Can Handle.
Maybe if you can find an edited copy of this film, it would be fine. Otherwise, I recommend avoiding it altogether. No matter how good a film is, I can't justify exposing myself or my children to graphic carnage, nudity/sexuality, or the kind of foul language sometimes on display in this film. This film is amazing. Very few people will disagree with that, even now that Mel Gibson has gone looney-tunes, but that doesn't mean that you should watch it. I wish that Mel Gibson had chosen to concentrate more on the main character's nobility, and less on the grittyness of the time in which he lived.

great but bloody movie
this movie is a great movie for teens that can handle violence, one or two brief sex scenes, and some language. this movie has a great message; about fighting and sacrificing for freedom.

Well Done
This movie was very well done. However, it is also overdone in the terms of violence and such, which is why it earned an R rating. I think it would have been better without all the brutal, realistic gore.

GREAT MOVIE ALL IN ALL- for those mature enough
A great movie all in all. Will leave you speechless. NOT FOR YOUNG CHILDREN or those who have a weak stomach.

yet another "could have been..."
Others have said that the sex scenes "aren't that bad". give it a rest. a sex scene, is a SEX SCENE. And actually, you could see quite a lot, which is why I couldn't even watch the rest because I had to turn it off. And apparently, the main character has sex with a woman NOT his wife, but the wife of another man. Nice role model there. Anyways, this movie had a lot of potential, and yes, I know, a lot of people love it, blah blah. But its still wrong to watch that kind of thing. Plus I have heard there is swearing in it, and some of the stuff I saw was pretty gruesome even in the beginning...but since this is Mel Gibson here...anyways, in one sentence, not a great watch, especially for kids and teens.
