Movie Reviews of Rob Roy
Movie Review: Very good movie
Summary: 5 Stars
While Braveheart offered us a picture of a Scotland fighting for its independence "Rob Roy" offers the auidence a story of a scotland in a transitional period. Like all movies based on historical events this one is not entirely accurate. This should not concern anyone as it is still great fun to watch. I think in a lot of ways it is a stronger movie then Braveheart because it doesn't try to be epic it just tries to tell a good story.
Overall-Unfortunately for this movie its lack of gigantic battle scenes will always make it the runner up for movies of Scottish history that came out in 1995.
Movie Review: Accents too heavily accented
Summary: 1 Stars
After ten minutes of trying to understand what the characters were saying in their THICK scottish brogues, I gave up. I found their English incomprehensible--words so slurred, accented, and joined that I just couldn't figure out what they were saying. This movie should be shown with SCREEN TITLES for those of us who are unfamiliar with such type of speech. Movie Review: I loved this movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great movie, I highly recommend it. Tim Roth an Liam Neeson both do a fantastic job. The movie feels very real. I never get tired of it.Movie Review: One of the Greatest Films of All Time
Summary: 5 Stars
A man's word is his honour. Rob Roy is one of the greatest films of all time. Neeson and Lange are well matched. It's one of the few movies where I can appreciate the leading lady not being twenty years younger than the leading man. This film is a major tear jerker throughout with many memorable scenes, characters and dialogue. There are a lot of themes about love, honour, redemption, revenge and community. I have seen it many times and never tire of it.Movie Review: Synonymous for Honor
Summary: 5 Stars
ROB ROY is, as many of the other reviewers have pointed out, filled with adventure and magnificent scenery. It's a decent story with good acting, and I particularly like a plot that can revolve around themes of honor without spotlighting chivalry. And ROB ROY does just that, existing as a romantic quest without the cheapness of an insincere motivation.
But what many reviewers have failed to properly praise is the music, particularly the vocals of Karen Matheson. She is mostly heard in the background throughout the soundtrack but is also featured on film singing "Morag's Lament." Matheson is part of the Gaelic group Capercaille that Carter Burwell worked with to create the movie score.
This is one of those movies that will become even better as time goes by.
