mvie mu-1061000: Scotland, Land of Many Epics Rob Roy

Thu, 20 Dec 2007 02:29:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wychic - Finally, after a long lineup of sub-par movies, I've found one I really like. I'll begin with a confession that I have a weakness for movies centering around Scotland or Ireland as these are two countries I've been researching most of my life as part of...

mvie mu-1061000: It's been years since I buggered a boy.

Fri, 25 Mar 2005 04:52:22 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author msorange - After seeing how noone put Tim Roth as one of the pros in this movie, I just had to write my own review. Actually, Tim Roth may be the ONLY good thing about this movie. I don't what it is... I can't quite say this is BAD movie, just that it wasn't it...

mvie mu-1061000: Honor made him a man, history a legend....

Mon, 27 Dec 2004 10:41:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author steerpyke - The problem with making a historical tale into a film is that it is always going to be a compromise. What makes a good tale is not often what makes a good film and vica versa. It is easy to take the main subject and polarise it so that the characters are...

mvie mu-1061000: Rob Roy, or, I've Got the Hots for a Scotsman

Mon, 10 Mar 2003 09:49:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nedipooh - Rob Roy was released in April of 1995, just weeks before the infamous Braveheart with Mel Gibson. Both were inspired by actual historical Scottish figures. While they have many similarities, the differences is what makes Rob Roy...

mvie mu-1061000: ROB ROY ENTERTAINS IN CLASSIC STYLE

Mon, 22 Oct 2001 07:18:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author BlakedwardsUK - Although Mel Gibson's Braveheart took the box office and the awards, Michael Caton-Jones's unfairly overlooked Scottish honor vs English greed epic is just as entertaining and in many ways a lot more fun. It certainly doesn't take itself as seriously as...

mvie mu-1061000: Rob Roy: Of Valor and Honor

Sat, 10 Feb 2001 00:19:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DAnneC - Based on the novel by Sir Walter Scott, Rob Roy is the kind of movie that you just almost have to like. With a script that is largely unmarred by shades of moral gray, good is clearly good, evil is clearly evil, marital love and fidelity triumph...

mvie mu-1061000: Overshadowed by Braveheart

Wed, 1 Nov 2000 00:57:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Mt514 - It's a Braveheart follow up-- focused and centralized on the life of Rob Roy McGregor. (What have the Scots been up to since Wallace's time?) It also takes place in 1713, a year before Queen Anne's death. Swashbucklers and dandies abound in this tale...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author George_Chabot - Rob Roy (1995)

Rob Roy is the story of a man who had greatness thrust upon him.

mvie mu-1061000: Dull, Stupid, Pointless

Thu, 22 Jun 2000 12:02:34 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ravenspike - Give a speech, get his butt kicked, give a speech, get his butt kicked, give a speech, get his butt kicked. That is the plot of this movie. This cinematic snoozer is by no stretch of the imagination another "Braveheart". To begin with the...

mvie mu-1061000: Beautiful Love Story, Anemic Action

Fri, 9 Jun 2000 17:16:22 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author djmont - Scotland was the country of my forebears and, as such, it has always held a special place in my heart. The sight of the glorious highlands, the heather and the lochs is more than enough to bring a twinge to this Scotsman’s heart and a tear to his eye...

mvie mu-1061000: I have watched this movie over and over

Mon, 15 May 2000 16:54:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author debandbee - One of my friends dragged me to see this movie when it first came out and I had never heard of it. But, boy, was it worth seeing. I have now watched this movie about 6 times to date (except one scene which I fastforward through and I will let you girls...

mvie mu-1061000: Rob Roy is En Brogue

Sat, 13 May 2000 16:39:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Kessec - Kilts, claymores, bagpipes, Scottish Highland gandeur, and clannish intrigue conspire to make Rob Roy an enormously entertaining film. It compares well with Braveheart, although Roy's scale is not so grand.

Whenever I...

mvie mu-1061000: ROB ROY has the shape of a classic movie.

Thu, 13 Jan 2000 23:41:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author macresarf1 - I found viewing ROB ROY (1995) at home almost as good an experience as seeing it in the theater. What greater praise can one give any film? Michael Caton-Jones(1958- ), a rather up and down director (SCANDAL, 1989; DOC HOLLYWOOD, 1991), has put...

mvie mu-1061000: For My Money, One of the Best of the 90s

Wed, 12 Jan 2000 22:47:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author moonmoods_52 - I am sitting here trying to think of a film made in the 90s that is better than “Rob Roy” (1995). “Amistad” (1997) comes to mind, for its theme is as strong as this earlier film, but its dialogue is not quite as rich. Aside from the fine Shakespeare...

Fri, 7 Jan 2000 02:06:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Stloraine - Liam Neeson is one of my favorite male actors. I thought he was superb in Rob Roy. I saw the movie three or four times in a row. The photography is beautiful, the Scottish coastline, expanses of green hillsides and interior shots of olden Scottish...

Wed, 1 Dec 1999 21:38:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kevincmurphy - Supported by a highly talented cast and breathtakingly beautiful cinematography, Rob Roy combines the Scottish flavor of Highlander, the heroic grandeur of Last of the Mohicans, and the loner parable of The Outlaw Josey Wales into splendid historical...
