Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

jamescrawford8-246-845497 Not a bad movie but badly in need of restoration. This was a very sad time in Scottish history. Charles brought years of hardship to the Highlands. His grandfather James 2nd tried to get his throne back 56 years earlier in Ireland. He landed there with a French force with the view to conquer Ireland, then Scotland & England. Causing hardship at the Siege of Londonderry, he was finally defeated at the Battle of the Boyne. This crazy ex king & then his nutty grandson 56 years later caused the misery of thousands of people. Charles could not even speak Gaelic, the language of the highlanders. His English was'not very good either.

winterbotham This movie is excellent - I've been looking for a copy for ages but do not know where to purchase it from. Can you help! I am very interested in Scottish History and find this movie contains all the ingredients I enjoy in a movie. Prince Charles of Scotland was the rightful heir to the throne of England but was duped out of the throne by his English relatives. He was a descendant of James VI of Scotland and I of England which gave him title to the throne of England. That is why he attempted to get the throne back by force. He nearly succeeded but his Army was too small and the English loyalties were elsewhere. They didn't want a Scottish King sitting on the English throne. That would have been anti-English.

bkoganbing And with the lyric of that ballad, Scotland's glorious Stuart family passed into legend. And like the line of another film, the Scots believe when the legend becomes fact, print the legend.The rising of 1745 was Scotland's last attempt to restore her independent status as a separate kingdom. Prince Charles Stuart, heir to the throne from the Stuart line is sent by his father to take advantage of Great Britain's military commitment in the War of Austrian Succession. Though the King of France, promised than welshed on a commitment for an army, the Prince goes ahead. He meets with initial success, but then overreaches and his army is cut to pieces at the Battle of Culloden. The second half of the movie concerns Charles's escape from Scotland back to Europe.My own opinion on this is that Charles had he stopped at the Scottish border and consolidated his position he might very well have become King of Scotland. Of course later on he would have had real problems with the Scotch Presbyterian Church because he was a Catholic. Playing Bonnie Prince Charlie is David Niven who is his usual charming best. Problem is he's not given much to work with in the way of a script The Prince is noble, dashing, and very bland. There's no real clue to the nature of his character here.The real Prince Charles should never have been played by Niven. For authenticity he should have been played by a French actor because Prince Charles spent his youth in France and was far more fluent in that language than he was in English. Someone like Jean Marais would have been closer to the truth.The rest of the cast is fine, but like Niven most are not given anything in the way of character development. The best acting in the film is from Margaret Leighton. As Flora MacDonald, the woman who hides Charles and leads him to the safety of a ship for Europe, she is both patriotic and touching. Maybe the legend of Bonnie Prince Charlie is better for Scottish hearts after all. He ne'er did come back again. But some day, someone will make a better film of his life.

Glaschu It is difficult to imagine the producer choosing to run with such a poor script. The story of Bonnie Prince Charlie is well loved by so many and it deserved a good treatment. The script is uninteresting, the costumes are cheesy and the acting is bland, especially by David Niven as the Prince himself.The story is not well put together. I barely knew I had witnessed the end of Culloden, one of Scotland's most famous battles and that the Prince has moved on to his flight into exile. The characters do not seem to be embodying their parts well. If you like battle re-enactments, it may be worth the checking out, but historical drama this is not (neither well-done history nor dramatic).
