Movies Braveheart or Gladiator

[Bagatur]

gladiator.




also haven't seen braveheart...

was the case with me for awhile. then probably after a similar threat praising Braveheart highly I decided to watch it, thinking it must be great. no, not even close. Gladiator all day!

 

[Bacco]

Braveheart was cool too

Plus another.

 

[tomjones]

Braveheart is a better film.

 

[Copper Burner]

Not really a fan of either but edge to Gladiator. Gibson is comical in these roles. Hard to watch Braveheart without laughing.

Get real

alone bravehearts soundtrack crushes anything gladiator wants to be
they are not in the same league

 

[tomjones]

Braveheart even had some comedy.

I haven't seen Braveheart since it came out.

I feel like I should now though.

I think I was unfairly influenced into thinking it was a clownfest on account of Mel Gibson being the least convincing Scottish guy ever.
But then Gladiator is the same. Russell Crowe is the least convincing non-Australian on Earth.

Maybe I should watch both and reconsider my scorn for both films.

They're both comical if you consider them historical documentaries. But it's hard to ding Crowe's accent in Gladiator when the man is speaking modern English with a notional Hispano-Roman twang from 192 AD.

Braveheart all day.

We have this thread like twice a year, and Braveheart wins the poll every time.

Another Braveheart vote here. Both are highly rewatchable to me.

Old Sofie was just so gorgeous. And the scene where he wakes homeboy up to deliver that flail to the dome was a great scene.

 

[Lycandroid]

Braveheart since I'm a Scot.

100% this.

Braveheart might have my favorite musical score of all time.

Braveheart since I'm a Scot.

I feel like Gladiator is more of a dumb action movie.

Agreed. It's a well-executed action movie, but at it's core it's just mortal kombat or street fighter in movie form.

Maximus wins 10/10 times. He's just the better fighter and is also familiar with the same things from the Braveheart future (Still used swords, bows and rode horses.)

Maximus has also beaten the best 1 on 1 whereas Braveheart mostly had an army at his back.

There's a reason the romans never took the highlands. Hadrian's wall was to protect Romans from the Picts.
