“Apocalypto is a film I would never watch again or even...”

Good Points
I feel that the only good thing about this film is that they did almost force the audience to sympathise with the characters.

Bad Points
I went to watch this film and found it absolutely awful! The gore and graphic violence in this film was just too much for me, it physically made me vomit. I feel that the film has no real outlined plot and strays from the pathetic so called plot that it does have. There is absolutely no closure towards the end of the film, in fact I feel that it has no end. It almost seems like they ran out of money to make an ending. I feel that the whole basis of the movie was to disgust the audience and to make anyone who could watch it fully or actually enjoyed it feel like a 'tougher' person. Being someone who highly dislikes others suffering, the film reduced me to tears and I ended up vomiting. The gore is excessively overdone. I have also watched Passion of the Christ and feel that there was too much gore in that film also. Sometimes I think that maybe Mel Gibson wants to show the suffering of the characters in his films but I can't help myself from thinking that he might actually enjoy producing films which the audience can not stomach.

General Comments
Apocalypto is a film I would never watch again or even think of watching again. I wouldn't recommend this film to anyone and feel that it was a huge waste of my money and my time.
