Silvio Tattiescone Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 It stuck so-ooo close to the history then wandered away from it at the end. Favourite bits - Spoiler Unknown extra at Methven Woods facing up to the charging English with a heartfelt "'mon then ya basturts!" Spoiler Lord of the Isles' wife running joyfully to be reunited with her husband then greeting him with "Where the f**k have you been?" and slapping him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Watching it now. Initial thoughts are that it all seems a bit rushed. Should have been a 3 hour film, or possibly even a trilogy of 2 hour films, but it’s one 2 hour film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonHMFC Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 1 hour ago, Gianfranco said: The guy that played Douglas was the star of the show for me in terms of laughter. I would have liked a few more memorable lines but overall a very enjoyable film. ETA the breasties were very nice. My Mrs said that he was the main fella in KickAss. Breasts were indeed lovely. As for Still Game characters, I only recognised the "we'll finish these off then go for a wee tug" bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda agree about the trilogy Part I from Falkirk to Loudon Hill Part II from Loudon Hill to Edward Bruce besieging Stirling Part III Bannockburn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud131 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Kinda agree about the trilogy Part I from Falkirk to Loudon Hill Part II from Loudon Hill to Edward Bruce besieging Stirling Part III Bannockburn Or even a mini series with 6 or 8 episodes.

Boghead ranter Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 It was a pure waste of apples, man. Nice use of Blackness Castle too, local flavour for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sergie's no1 fan Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Brilliant film. I loved it. I was worried I was going to feel disappointed because I have been hyped all year for this film.The ending was rushed, as others have said there was no need for that certain scene after the battle.Braveheart was better for the patter but the acting, accents and story was much more on point.Wee history lesson on Marjory Bruce, closer to home than i ever realised. https://www.paisley.org.uk/2016/06/marjory-bruce/ Always wondered what that weird shaped thing was in Gallowhill.

sergie's no1 fan Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Another quick point, it's always easy enough to make the English look like right c'nts [emoji16].Couple of Game Of Thrones actors in there too. Anybody spot them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 It was a decent enough film but unless they are planning a second one then I’m a bit confused. His most famous victory is Bannockburn so you would hope there’ll be a Bruce II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, me and the other half paused it and realised it only had 30 minutes left and there hadn't been a proper battle yet, we assumed that was Bannockburn, then we were chatting about Stirling bridge but then it dawned on us that was William Wallace and it happened several years earlier. Would love a second film but they seemed to wrap it up pretty quick, can't see it happening with the way they ended it. Major screw up if you think about it.

Thought the film was very well shot, some great scenes. Elizabeth is a dirty, big love to her. Thought the ending with Edwards son was predictable,Slightly shite but we knew it was coming. Bit rushed but all in all, a fine film that makes me hate England X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonS Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 One wee thing I found interesting about the filming: all of the interior shots of Bruce's castle - the wedding reception, various meetings full of meaningful glances, etc - were filmed in the old Motorola factory in Bathgate, parts of which are now used as a studio. As realistic as it looks, all the walls are plaster or plastic. It's the same room that was used in Trainspotting 2 for the 'no more Catholics' scene.
