I wasn't expecting so much male nudity. It's fine, I just wasn't expecting it. Also Wikipedia says people are mad at the historical inaccuracies. There was no point in which I thought I was watching a historically accurate movie.

This is a first time watch. I recently realized it's not the same movie as The Patriot, which we watched in school, so here I am. I didn't think this would be for me, because it definitely seems to be one for the bros. I was right, but it was still a solid enough watch.

I thought the big battle with the butts and the spears and the horses was the climax of the movie, so I was surprised to see that it was the middle. This is one of the rare times I prefer the action over the character scenes, but that might be because the characters are dudes.
