Outlaw King (2018)
This aint no braveheart but that's only a good thing
Finally A film about Scottish history that doesn't make me want throw the telly out of the window or worse still look on Scots with disdain. A really really good film no blue and white face paint no aussicomeyanky halfbit actor shouting corny lines. Excellent acting as usual from Chris Pine and also the rest of the cast. If you put this film up against rob roy or braveheart it eclipses them by a long way.
Braveheart currently still scoring over 8 on IMDB just goes to show how useless the scoring system is when its scored by Americans who think they are Scottish or Irish even though the last relation was some 3rd cousin twice removed 8 generations ago and the Scots who simple scored it well because they tend to have a chip on their shoulders and a film about a Scot beating the english is going to be a 10 even if its a 1. The shame is this Film is superb in comparison I will bet it doesn't get to 8+ on IMDB though. Also for a film about the Scots beating the english it was good to see the English portrayed slightly better than the usual camp toffy nosed wimp they usually have when the english are the enemy of the Scots or the Irish.
I watched this film I actually think I like the Scots again the other 2 "blockbusters" put me off scotland for years.
Yep I am English with recent Irish and scots ancestry grandparents either side, too the Americans that doesn't make me either and i didn't score this film high simply because i consider it my patriotic duty to some ancestor from generations ago. I scored it highly because its simple a great film about Scotland without the usual cheese and BS.
The Devil's Ride (2012)
Total BS
This show is utter nonsense, These guys are all actors I swear I have seen half of them before. This show is purely trying to be some sort of reality TV version of SOA and failing miserably.
