Even though I did not like this movie I somehow found myself watching the whole thing. Sometimes cheese like this is just fun.

I had high hopes for this movie and sadly the film let me down. First I have to say that Viggo Mortensen was amazing in this movie and his performance was heart breaking. The other actors did a decent job bringing the rest of the characters to life but many fell short. The film was able to catch much of the feeling of the book but I found some of the editing choices were poorly made and became distracting. If you have not read the book I recommend doing so as it was an amazing read.

This has been and should always be my favorite movie. Although not entirely accurate (I have sadly learned) this movie is exactly what a wannabe Scot, like myself, thrives on. The amazing story of William Wallace always brings a tear to my eye, no matter how many times I watch it. The setting is beautiful, the story is compelling and the acting is outstanding, what more could you want from a movie?

This movie touched my heart the first time I saw it back when I was 9 years old. I think it is even part of the reason I want to be a teacher. Its a story about how a teacher changes the lives of his students and everybody else around him. Richard Dreyfuss is an amazing actor and delivers an excellent preformance in Mr. Holland's Opus.
