Erm, the film isn't that accurate, actually..
It's not on Braveheart/The Patriot Grounds, but it doesn't follow the legend as closely as it could have.

Edit: sorry, I didn't make myself clear. I thought I'd put the legend or what is believed to be the truth the legend is based on ^^

because its not based on the legend is it? (no)
its based on the truth, the roman commander left behind as the seven nation army pulled out, leaving the warring factions of brittania and the syrians behind.

Sasha/Koku said she was disappointed by the movie, does that really require a pointless discussion?

*gets away from the argument and lists her disappointements*

Garfield. Only laughed once, and that was when he was dancing. Slept through most of it.


Reign of Fire: Another snooze fest


A.I.: Just couldnt' get into it.


Dragonheart: going with the trend...put me to sleep.


Exorcist: oddly enough, this one put me to sleep too.

Oh, and I have one more:

Two Brothers: Not a bad movie at all... but the previews make it look nothing like it is. The previews make the movie look as if it's a completely fun and happy movie, suitable for small children. Um. Wrong! It's actually just a whole movie about bloody, gory events and tiger abuse. Happy and fun? Pshaw. The only happy part in this movie is at the end (which is totally predictable). Suitable for small children? HAH! The last scene in this movie is sunlight shining through a hole in an adult tiger's ear (of course, the hole was made by a bullet).

Enter "Titanic". I'd always loved the story of the Titanic when I was little. And there I was, 12 and all excited about the movie... They turned a story about a boat into a love story. And of course, we can't have a movie about a boat without adding in Kate Winslet's breasts...

EDIT: I almost forgot... the huge romantic kiss scene? One thing ruined it for me. The sunset was on the left side of the boat. The sun sets in the west. If the sun was setting on the left of the boat then it was heading north. The titanic was heading west, and slightly southwest. The sunset could not have been where it was. It was beautiful... but totally ruined it for me.

The Italian Job. Maybe it's because I'm not into action movies but my friends and I talked through this one.

Ah,yes. I forgot about that one. I never saw it but I agree. I bet the previews are like that because they wanted to make money. What better than a family friendly fun film?

Suddenly many movies come to mind.

That something 9/11 movie for one. I never saw it but I am totally sickened by it because I think Bush is a good President. I'm glad he is our President. (Incase you care,I like Bush mainly because he is a Christian.)

I think the worst movies I've seen were Charlies Angels 2 and White Chicks. (Funny, but really stupid)

Hm, can't really think of disappointing movies, because I don't watch a lot of movies. A lot of them LOOK bad, but you can't judge a movie by it's...cover? Azkaban was great, but I was just so looking foward to the Quidditch final and some more information at the end that I found it a little bit dissapointing.
