Why does the author of the review assume that this is NOT an accurate historical portrayal of the Mayan culture?
Maybe he knows that it isn't accurate.
They weren't sweetness and light but this portrayal gets plenty of details wrong.
I'm really sick and tired of people justifying this garbage with that phony justification. What's next? Mel doing a movie about the Nazi's and showing people slow roasting in some oven for 15 minutes, or 60 minutes of Gestapo torture, in 'exciting', high-def detail?
