full quote ( reconstruct ) represent an incredibly mediocre braveheart with a 21st century twist so lame it beg the question represent why bother . ( sigh . ) what a steam pile of nothing in particular . thankfully i haven not read the book and so at least i be spar the full horror of this tiresome make for tv style widescreen time waster . what i get from it be just boredom and a mild sense of betrayal ( make easy to bear by low expectation ) and irritation at the careless plot hole and appallingly uninterested acting and and a grow hatred for the character that have me root for . . . well and no one . an exception to the otherwise universal pointlessness be gerard butler a marek . he really stand out . in fact his brief verbal description of the siege of castlegard early on be probably and in term of action and the most exciting moment of the film . he almost make it seem a if something interesting might happen later . but anna friel do have a cute smile and no doubt about it and and the wayward coming and going of her medieval frenchness be a highlight . the maniacal rugby play english leader and lord whatever and be all right in small dos . the colour be nice enough and and the river be a believable river . also the catapult be good . the rest be dreadful and but not in a great way . david thewlis and for example and seem to be play by a stand in and not that anyone else be fully present ( again and except for butler and perhaps he do not get the memo ) . and between them billy connolly ( stumble and whimper and whine ) and paul walker ( be careful . ) and france oconnor ( who be i in this scene . ) and along with whoever cobble together and okay the script and create the most lacklustre and unlikeable bunch of bewildered hero i think i have ever see outside of satire . but and and this must be stress and they be not funny . the villain be equally pathetic . the plot absurd . event back in the present do not add drama to the medieval storyline and but just sort of interrupted it like commercial break . and so on and etc . in all and read the review at imdb be more involve than the film .
