Default LOL at the Apocalypto review

i wonder if the reviewer is Jewish...maybe that explains the low score it got..i don't have any problems with Jewish people, my best friend is Jewish..and he still enjoyed the film...i'm not sure how it got a 5.0 overall, if you gave the movie a 4, picture a 9, sound a 9 and extras a 7, wouldn't the overall score be somewhere around a 7 after u factor all that in, your supposed to be reviewing a blu ray movie, not a movie..and as a blu ray movie, this should've scored higher than a 5 even if you didn't like the actual movie..i use this and casino royale as demo material to show how great blu ray is..a little less bias towards the director would make you a slightly better critic

he has to like the movie itself to give it a good review...

that factor weighs more...

metacritic.com gave it a 68/7.0

http://www.metacritic.com/film/title...o?q=apocalypto

now don't be alarmed, metacritic scores are usually low for many percievably good movies. just pay attention to the colour: it's green. as for some of the lower scores rated by critics and actual movie watchers: that can be attributed to either:

1. they don't like mel gibson or due to
2. the inaccuracies of the movie [from some sources, the movie should depict Aztec rather than Mayan culture. Moreover, [spoiler] ... the Spanish Conquest occurred during the Aztec era].

i Personally, enjoyed the film. One of the best i've seen in awhile. I even got a bit tired from watching them run so much!

Every review is an opinion.

woah.....show your true colors bae. you obviously, don't think very highly of your "best," friend if he's jewish.

regardless, reviews are subjective, which by definition means that a thought taking place within the mind and being modified on an individual bias. at work around the water cooler there are several peoples opinions that i will listen to regarding new movies b/c i know that they like the same type of movies as i do. i choose to ignore others b/c i know that they taste in movies is crap and fruity.
