Where do I start, Oh Lord?
124 interminable minutes of... nothing. Long sequences of irrelevant scenes that add nothing to the story or plot. What is the plot, you ask?
Is it about what the description says? ("The story of the nobleman-turned-outlaw hero who was crowned king of Scots in the 14th century.")
NO.
Is it about his losing the battle that puts him on the run, while a King? NO.
Is it about his comeback after this period of losses? NO.
Then what's it about?
Nothing. NOTHING. The movie starts after his loss in some battle, he sends his soldiers home, then wanders in the wild, is hunted by some who want to cash in on the reward for his head, then spends the rest of the film in the care of a family in the wild, nursing him back to health. Really. That's it. Ridiculous. Completely ridiculous.
This does not make for a movie. Certainly not an interesting one. My apologies to the filmmakers, but... WTF were you thinking??
Then at the end of the film, he's reunited with soldiers that still love him, and we get an epilogue on the screen about how he eventually wins against the English. OMFG.
So there it is. I've told you the entire story. If you're an insomniac, then this is the ONLY thing this movie is good for. The only reason I give this 2 stars instead of 1, is because I'm a generous sort.
