I thought it was a good movie. Not great. Good.
I'd bump it to great because of the historical accuracy. Of course there are some grey areas here and there, but for the vast majority of the film, it was dead on from what I knew about Robert the Bruce and from what additional research after the movie I was able to find said. Most based in reality movies are the kinda shit where they take the names of the people, a general story, and then they make up every detail in the middle to get from A to B in as entertaining a way as possible. It was a bit dull at times, but that was really my only complaint. My only complaint being that it was a bit dull at times, but that's to be expected from anything with even 50% historical accuracy. They forced/fabricated the ending between Bruce and Edward the II, which I thought was completely unnecessary. It would have been just as good without that added ridiculousness. We've captured the king of England who currently has no heir to the throne.... What do we do guys? Eh, fuck it, he's not important, let him go. Like, what lol?
