I'll be seeing this - but is the graphic violence really needed in all Mel's films, is he some kind of psycho?

...oh wait, yes of course he is...

Could have done without the subtitles - not because i cant read (i can, just) but because if i wanted to read for 2 hours i would have got a book....kinda defeats the point of seeing a film

I saw the movie, I was excited to see it.? ?I am a big fan of Braveheart, enjoyed Passion of the Christ (as a one time thing) and I thought Payback was 90% cool.? I don't really give a damn about Mel's opinions on jews or tits or anything, as long as they aren't in the movie.  Edit: and by that, I mean to say, I don't care as long as his opinions aren't in the movie.  I have nothing against jews or tits being in movies (and there are a lot of tits in this movie).

The movie was beautiful.? It was kinda boring though.? There are basically two endings, one I already had spoiled for me, and the other is kinda obvious.? It's not nearly violent enough.? With all the press it had been getting, I thought it'd be way worse than Braveheart, but it's not even close.? Sure, there's a bit more visual gore, but overall, it's not that violent, and only one scene came off as gratiutious to me.? ?Like Passion of the Christ, I'm glad I saw it once, but I probably don't need to see it again.

press usually goes crazy about violence when there is nothing there.

i remember them going insane on kill bill saying it was so gore and violent ... then you see the movie and you're like " wtf ? " .....

Just Watched this few hours ago.

I thought the first half of the movie held together really well. Scene where the newly captured prisoners arrive to the mayan city was horrible in a good way. Then the movie  steadily began getting ridiculous. Jaguar Paw turned from a very vunlerable human into some sort of a James Bond figure who stumbles from deus ex machina to another. Which was fine in itself for 10 mins or so.  Then it got boring. By the time he is saved from sacrifical altar/shooting range/pissed off jaguar you kinda stop worrying if people fire few arrows at him.

In overall was a fine movie..

..That made me hate Mel Gibson even more.
Savage Mayans live off decadent life, massacre humans non stop, drink blood and scratch their asses. the Only Good Indian in the entire movie gets saved, along his saint wife, by noble conquisators who come to put and end to all the godless madness.Right.
A random movie doesn't have to give accurate portrayal of Mayans or anyting but come on. Gibson's vision was about as flattering and accurate as signing romans off as gay people who like to gather ar colosseum to watch as humans get eaten by lions would have been
