My, oh my. Seems that some feel that Mel's God given talent is evil.

With each of his movies, Mel has tried to teach true history, as it comes from his heart. Some don't want to see the truth, just condemn the source.

I haven't seen this movie, yet. Maybe, it's not in the same league as "The Passion", but it will be educational, as are all of his historicals.

Oh, yeah! It also seems that there were those that condemned "The Passion", even before its release.

And with each new law liberals have tried to help people, as it came from their hearts...

Somebody should have told him that Robert the Bruce lived a century after William Wallace, and British troops weren't storm troopers that delighted in burning civilians alive in their churches.

I won't spoil it for you, but I will alert you to one part of the movie to compare to another part. In the sacrificial scene the high priest is making the usual speech about how important their nation is etc. Keep that in mind when you get near the end of the movie when Jaguar Paw and two of his pursuers are on the beach. Personally, I thought it was a magnificent point of teaching.
