Absolutely loved it!!! Did anyone else see it?

No.

Mayans killing. Blood. Subtitles.

I will wait for the dubbed version.

The story is great! It's a love story!

Or were it Inca's?

Anyways. Indiginous south American people slaughtering eachother.

Going like; "OOoh, I love you! I love your pumping heart in my hand!" ???

I mean, I might like it, if Britney Spears and Kevin Federline do the dubbing.

I also kind of dislike stupid, rich people drinking and driving, foul-mouthing when someone is smart enough to get their ass off the road.

That mug shot of him willa lways on my mind when I see him now; leering stoopid.

Rant over!

I wanted to see it originally becuase I tend to like Chase Movies.

But from the descriptions of violence I've read so far, I may sit this one out. I'm one of the few folks who saw Braveheart and thought...meh

no.

I saw it last night and it was awesome! Sad and suspensful. It was gory, but there were only a few short scenes where I thought the gore was gratuitous.

Loved it. Best flick I've seen all year.

The violence isn't that bad.... you should really see it. Like I said, the story is great!

You must go see!

After seeing Jesus get beat down in the Passion of Christ, I don't know if I can take more violence of that sort. Just the History Channel's version of that period was hard enough without them screwing my mind up with a love story. Cable perhaps.

I wouldn't give Gibson a dime of my money.

i'm going to see it in 4 hours

Let me know if it's too violent.


I don't have an issue with Mel's personal life/beliefs--I just have a week stomach for torture.

i've been waiting for the movie for a long time!!! i've been in love with the Maya since i was in the 6th grade. Gawd i'm starting to feel old when i think back to how long ago that was

I actually took a class on the Mayans back in college... The culture is very interesting... this movie helped bring it to life a little bit...

YOU ASS!!

I'm right there with you. I don't care if Mel's crazy as far as movies go. But it seems like he's really into high violence. I thought the Passion was ridiculously over-done. And for all his supposed reality (Aramaic language, for example) he still had a blue eyed Jesus and a fantastic tone--ala Lord of the Rings--that made the whole story less realistic. It works for LOTR because that wasn't supposed to be real life, after all.

from what i've read of most MesoAmerican cultures they were not anything less than a little blood obessed

ehuffnsd said:

I'm sure that's part of Mel's attraction to the project!

I'm not saying the film couldn't be good or that all film violence is bad. But Mel's stuff is super violentand over the top, to me. I just don't connect with it.

I wouldn't. Roll your eyes til they fall out for all I care.

You should check it out when it comes out on DVD.... I'll even send you a copy... I can understand your stance though.... but, you should definitely find a way to see the movie without paying for it... it's amazing...
