My boyfriend and I saw the movie in the theater and loved the movie. We realize it's entertainment and not meant to be historical, but it's a GREAT movie. We actually bought it a few weeks ago too.

I actually thought it was really good...much better then I thought it was going to be...good story line...as long as you don't go into it thinking it's a damned Documentary...you should like it...

I liked Apocalypto, although the portrayal of the Maya was completed distorted. I think the ending made for a great prelude to a sequel; colonization and the decline of the Mesoamerican civilization.

I completely agree. The early press releases tried to put a historical spin on it, which is certainly not the case.

Yeah, that was the only thing dumb about the movie. Those Spanish Galleons got there a little earlier than they should have! :lol

Actually I'm wrong. The time period was consistent with the end of the Mayan civilization.

I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would. It's a great story, but I didn't like the movie that much.

Mel Gibson is a very good director. I mean, say what you will about the man, but his resume reads like this:

Man without a face - I thought it was a very good movie.
Braveheart - Need I say more
The Passion of the Christ - May not be the best movie he's made, but it was certainly good and entertaining. Plus it was just a genius marketable idea
Apocalypto - Great, entertaining movie IMO, historic accuracy be damned

psst..............that's why it's called a movieI know. I just don't see why Gibson made such a stink about demanding the story be about the Maya because it was the most advanced civilization -- all he did was show that they built pyramids, had slaves and cut people up. The Aztecs did the same thing and were there when the Spanish actually arrived. Make Jaguar Paw Tlaxcalan and then you have the basis for a sequel and the mother of all revenge flicks.
