I thought the movie would center on the Mayan Prediction that the Sun will blow up on 12/12/2012?

Even the Scientific Community has said the Sun will be at it's highest peak of exploding sunspots on that date?

Mel's sick and needs help. He's hiding his dark side less and less.

I have zero interest in this movie and it has nothing to do with Mel Gibson. I have forgiven him long ago for his mistakes...we all have them. I have watched almost every movie he has made or stared in, but this one just seems very boring. I liked the Passion and put up with the other language but we knew the story so it was easy to follow. No deal on this one. Hopefully others will be interested and go see it.

“Apocalypto” is an uncompromising artistic vision of its own, but with no theological framework to guide it, it’s difficult to see how this gruesome film could be recommended for Christian audiences of any age.

So Christians are only supposed to see movies that have a religious message? What a silly, limited view.

I haven't seen it yet, but everything I have seen of it, and every person whose opionion I respect (and some I don't) have said it's a awesome film. I can't wait to see it myself.

“Apocalypto” is a Rorschach inkblot test for Mel. Here he is with several hundred million dollars, complete artistic, funding, and production freedom, and this is what he comes out with.

The 'test results' are very revealing indeed. Mel needs help.

Maybe I'll go to one of his movies when he starts using English again.

They are a hundred other people more fked up and violent than Mel freaking Gibson.

Where the hell are these "tut tut you violent monster" comments for psychos like Eli Roth or the @$$shards who keep churning out dreck such as turista, descent, the cave, etc ad nauseam?

how about that Italian guy who made a movie so depraved and violent that people were fainting and vomitting. IT made Eli Roth's sick fantasies look like baby Barbie's HAppy Fun JOy Joy partyy with Hello Kitty cuddlies.

I didn't read the article you posted because I don't want to be spoiled. I want to see this film, I'm looking forward to seeing this film, the subject matter is intriguing. The lead character reminds me of Troy Polamalu, and I'm a Steelers fan!

Go Mel go!

Don't expect me to jump on your "dump Mel" bandwagon.

Not sure if I will see this or not. Other reviews were much more positive. But I was a guy who was disgusted with The Departed, so I'm not sure about this one.

The guy has made some great movies.
I'll probably see it, too.
I hope it does well,
if only to pi$$ off the rest of Hollywood.

And even though I was disappointed in him in his drunken rant,
rules are rules...



He proved he wasn't perfect, but he sure looked the part.

Fantastic film on so many levels. Too bad the reviewer is caught up in ugly ignorance.

This film is a masterpiece!

I saw a deep Christian message throughout the movie, which this reviewer apparently missed. I can understand how the bloody violence in the story would distract away from the underlying Christian theme, though.
