Brave

Synopsis: In Scotland, stories of battles and legends have been passed through generations. Merida (Kelly Macdonald), a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus (Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson), is determined to prove her worth. After ignoring an age-old custom sacred to Lords MacGuffin (Kevin McKidd), Macintosh (Craig Ferguson) and Dingwall (Robbie Coltrane), Merida inadvertently causes controversy and chaos in the kingdom. When Merida turns to an eccentric witch (Julie Walters) for help, a curse is inflicted on her. She must now save the kingdom from the curse, and in doing so, discover the true meaning of bravery.

Not exactly the story I expect it to be and I wonder how exactly the movie ties in with the theme of bravery? There are not much of fighting with any enemies with the exception of escaping an angry bear. Though there are a few touching moments, and the graphics are realistic but the title of the movie just seems plain wrong. In summary, the movie is pretty average with not much of excitement.
