Mel Gibson's Apocalypto: A bloody-good show

Date of Review:  Dec 10, 2006
The Bottom Line: Apocalypto is a very unique action-adventure film set against the impeding collapse of the Mayan civilization. There is lots of violence, but a good story too.
Review: Life for Jaguar Paw had never been better. His peaceful village in the rain forest had lots of friendly people, he had a beautiful wife, and he was quickly maturing into a strong leader. There was even time for fun and games in the village, in the...

A TRULY EXCITING ADVENTURE WITH THE MAYANS

Date of Review:  Dec 8, 2006
The Bottom Line: I saw this film in the theater but Epinions said it was on DVD. Wrong. See it on the big screen.
Review: I've read only one review of this film and it was quite favorable. The reviewer pointed out that several people were talking about boycotting the film due to Director/Screenwriter Mel Gibson's recent behaviour. The reviewer also pointed out that if...

Sheer Visual Poetry: Apocalypto

Date of Review:  Dec 19, 2007
The Bottom Line: A masterpiece from the master Mel Gibson telling the story of the fight for survival of Central American natives prior to European intervention.
Review: Apocalypto (2006)

Mel Gibson has outdone himself, showing himself a filmmaker of the first rank after only a couple full-length features. The Passion was a masterpiece but you had to wonder, could he do another piece of work as good?

Mel Gibson Goes Native: Apocalypto

Date of Review:  Dec 8, 2006
The Bottom Line: Mel Gibson is a master storyteller. He may be a flawed man, but his film is near perfect.
Review: It's kind of a shame that Mel Gibson had that run in with the cops earlier this year (despite the joke mileage I've gotten out of calling my wife "sugar t*ts" when she annoys me and asserting that anything that goes wrong in my life is part of the...

Despite the Critics Mel Does it Again

Date of Review:  Jan 13, 2008
The Bottom Line: Apocalypto in the end is sparkling masterpiece of a film buoyed by an able director or very talented actors. I highly recommend it.
Review: "A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself within." --Will Durant. I have similar phrase as a tagline on my outgoing emails. The message is timely and quintessentially human and it flashes across the screen at...

Mel Gibson's amazing Apocalypto

Date of Review:  Jun 14, 2007
The Bottom Line: It's not as good as Braveheart, but is still an excellent movie.
Review: Apocalypto is an epic tale about Mayan civilization from writer/director Mel Gibson. This excellent action movie was nominated for three Academy Awards, including Makeup and Sound. Although it isn't as good as Braveheart, Mel Gibson has succeeded in...

Apocalypto-a truly spectacular adventure!

Date of Review:  Sep 13, 2007
The Bottom Line: Apocalypto is packed with superb action sequences...And enough historical accuracy!
Review: I remember viewing Apocalypto straight after my history lesson that talked about the Incas, Mayans, and Aztecs. Although Mel Gibson manages to hollywood'ize this film, it's still accurate enough for a "historical action" tag-line.

Apocalypto: Long on Action, Short on Authenticity?.Almost.

Date of Review:  Dec 11, 2006
The Bottom Line: I reluctantly recommend this movie, see it in the theater of course.

Apocalypto: Exactly what does Mel Gibson reveal?

Date of Review:  Dec 11, 2006
The Bottom Line: You need to see it, even if you don't like Mel Gibson
Review: Usually I come up with a title before I write the piece. In this case, I wrote the title after I finished. According to Reference.com, the word "Apocalypto" is a Greek verb meaning "I reveal". Most of us know that "Apocalypse" refers to the end of...
