One of the greatest films ever made.

An excellent movie all around. I would recommend this movie for anybody. Anybody who could stomach it, that is. It's rated "R" for a reason, and that reason is violence. There's brutal medieval violence throughout. People getting stabbed, pierced, chopped, burnt, and bashed in pretty much every way imaginable during the 11th century. There is a tad bit of language and a little less sex, but if you would be offended by that, then you probably wouldn't be watching this movie to begin with.

Great Movie! Some nudity is shown, which I believe didn't have to be in the movie:( Violence is a big issue. The only thing that turns be off is the nudity.

I saw the movie and didn't know the rating. All I knew was that in my Strategy games, I love playing as the Scots! This movie made me love them even more! While the battles were filled with blood and gore,it was historically correct and very touching. Still, even though I saw it, I cannot recommend it for kids. Apperantly there was a rape. Awesome movie though! Thanks for reading!

amazing very violent but so great, mel is an amazing director but only ages 16 and up

Violence is no stranger to me but I think if I saw the R-rated version of this movie I'd be fairly scarred. This movie was superb in its great revealence of William Wallace and it's frequent showings of struggles for freedom. I got the TV-14-V version thank God, my uncle saw this and said it was extremely graphic and bloody, and I thought it was graphic on television. Excellent movie, undoubtedly deserved Best Picture.

This is an excellent movie. There is smome mature content though. Violence: Tons but the dimmemberment is either quick or implied. Sex: Implied Rape, a women's breast is shown, implied sex, and a butt is shown Language: Mild terms but 2 f-words Oh and to all of you who think this takes place in Ireland please learn some history it is in Scotland

this movie is awesome!!! all 3 hours of it!!!! although it does it has sex i barely even remembered it cause the action scenes were the things that stuck w/ me

Many will find Braveheart interesting,and many of course already have since it debuted back in the summer of 1995, and than later sweeped the Oscars in early 1996 and won director and star Mel Gibson both a Best Picture Academy Award and a Best Director Academy Award. Still, as great and visually sweeping as this historical film is, it earns it's R Rating very well, with some of the most brutal and savage war scenes that have ever been put on film (before Saving private Ryan, though), including some infrequent sexuality and several attempted rapes. Also, there is some infrequent profanity as well including at least 2 F-words. Historical buffs should definitely check it out if they haven't already, but this is not a kids movie.
