IF YE HAD A CHANCE TO CHANGE YUIR FATE, WOULD YE?

Brave - 6.5/10
If the title is the conceit, to co-opt and corrupt someone else's phrase, then the movie never actually builds up to someone having to exhibit real and honest courage. And that's unfortunate, because it spends a good portion of its running time building up characters I really like and creating an honest-to-god conundrum that has a tough logic (if an old-world logic) to it. To one, have the least likable character become the person we have to root for and, two, to have things settle down so easily, is a disservice to all of the little character moments that went in to its architecture.
