COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Interesting submitted by Cory Michael on July 21, 2015, 11:07pm I wasn't really sure what to expect with this movie. It wasn't too bad. The struggles where intense and I found myself rooting for Jaugaur Paw the whole time but alas that is what you are supposed to do for the protagonist.

Apocalypto submitted by lstorc on August 12, 2019, 9:57am Apocalypto is average. If one did not need to read the subtitles, it would be a good film for background noise.

This is a FAR better movie than most of its kind, even though not very ambitious submitted by Tassos on September 24, 2021, 5:37am The two reviews before I just wrote mine seem to come from true-blue IMBECILES ,or three year olds.

One of these two geniuses comments on 'rooting for the protagonist". NO, you blithering IDIOT, this is NOT the reason you root for this character. If you had an ounce of brains you would know why Evert Decent person would root for this unjustly persecuted young man, who also sees his father slain right in front of him for NO good reason. Geez what a bunch of morons! I bet you are not vaccinated for COVID either...

The other idiot complains about having to read subtitles in English, translation of the Mayan Spoken here. Are you historically illiterate, you blithering idiot? Perhaps you have seen too many alleged WW II movies, where the Nazi officers always speak perfect English with a fake German accent, but, NEVER German, so YOU MORONS will not take the trouble to LEARN TO READ so you can read the frigging subtitles.

If such morons exist in Ann Arbor, MI, you can imagine what great scholars you can find in Rural Alabama and Mississippi... or West VIrginia and Kain-tucky, not to mention Lousy Anna!
