Apocalypto

[1976]

I thought this movie was quite good. I think it gets a bad rap because it doesn't have guns or swords n it. People love guns and swords. Poisonous darts and mallets? Not so much.

i didnt like it because its a faux-art mediocre action film

Just recently revisited this film last night and really enjoyed it.  Most of the complaints presented by others on the board don't really seem to apply to my viewing, and I've yet to see, "the new world," so other than the fact that they both came out a year apart and deal with pre colonized societies, i don't get the comparison. Plus, is it really fair to compare mel to terry? 

I had just graduated high school when this film came out and didn't really realize how much of a feat mel undertook in making this. Wow.

Anyways, I think this is a great film and despite his lack of visual storytelling , the story is strong enough to work without any of that. Not to say that someone with a more visual style of storytelling couldn't have added to this. But in my opinion most ballpark swings like this end in a strikeout. This on the contrary works well from start to finish.  Boy do I love that scene on the beach in the end too.  Anyways, it's aging well for me.

Anyone else watched this recently?
