Review of Apocalypto: Doesn't Deliver on Its Premise

Date of Review:  Oct 5, 2008
The Bottom Line: Recommended as an action movie, but doesn't live up to its epic title.
Review: Written, directed and produced by Mel Gibson, Apocalypto was released in 2006. It features an unknown cast, gathered for authentic effect, and is subtitled with Mayan spoken throughout.


The movie explores the 16th century end of the...

Apocalypto? Not now

Date of Review:  Dec 18, 2006
The Bottom Line: If viewers are lions, here's the cinematic equivalent of raw meat
Review: With Apocalypto, Mel Gibson spent an awful lot of time and money making a movie about the Mayan people that won't fool anyone who's seen Gladiator Heaven knows there's an audience for macho epics with copious amounts of slo-mo blood-letting, but I...

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?

Worst movie ever

Date of Review:  Apr 8, 2007
Review: Basically totally incoherent, not a single bit or scene is quite close to history, half of the movie is walking to the "city" and the other half running from it.
First of all Cortez kill Aztecs not mayas, Mayas was gone long time before America...

Descent movie but why read?

Date of Review:  May 30, 2007
Review: I read, I mean watched this movie last night and I am officially done watching Mel Gibson's movies!

It was bad enough having to read the last movie he made about Jesus, but now another movie completely in language most people don't...

Another Amazing Story of Personal Heroism from Mel Gibson

Date of Review:  May 31, 2007
The Bottom Line: If you're a fan of Gibson's work or of action movies in general and don't mind a little gore, you should see this.
Review: One of the greatest action movie heroes of our time, Mel Gibson is turning out to also be one of the great action movie directors. I've really enjoyed the majority of his previous work (with the exception of Payback). It seems that though his films'...

"Apocalypto" is a Visual Masterpiece.

Date of Review:  Dec 2, 2008
The Bottom Line: This movie holds something absolutely entertaining for everyone. 
Review: "Apocalypto" is a spectacular feast for the senses.  Mel Gibson has truly raised the bar for the epic genre.  This movie is great because very few movies can make me laugh and cry with such sincerity.  As great as I thought this film was I wouldn't...

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...

Date of Review:  Mar 3, 2008
The Bottom Line: Great movie about the will to survive. Breathtaking scenery. Must endure subtitles.
Review: This is more of a response to some of the reviews I've read, and a defense of Mel Gibson, than a review in itself. Still, it promotes seeing the movie, therefore I feel it deserves a place among reviews...

Now look, I know most of you...

Apocalypto - Mel Gibson's look at the Mayan Civilization

Date of Review:  Dec 4, 2008
The Bottom Line: Though historically incorrect, this action movie is a great look at the declining Mayan civilization
Review: The most recent blockbuster directed by Mel Gibson, staring Rudy Youngblood as Jaguar paw, this look at the declining Mayan culture is extremely interesting, action packed, but not without it's flaws.
