Strange. This Robert Bruce biography doesn't avoid becoming a Braveheart sequel; it's actually dying to become one. It goes beyond beautiful swooping panoramas of the Scotland countryside for the story of a quiet man with fire in his eyes who's pushed over the edge ... to include a "Hoooold! Hoooold!"scene with horses impaled on sharpened poles (I kid you not). So if you're going down that route, Chris Pine is no Mel Gibson, and King Edward I here is not even a shadow of King Edward 'Longshanks' there. Sequels should attempt an identity of their own - not become a copy.
