Yeah, I'm willing to bet that Mel will release a dubbed version on the same DVD.

I saw the trailor for this movie, it looks very interesting, but I will probably go to check out how it represents the Mayan people and listen to the language-why didn't he name the film title in Mayan instead of Greek?:confused:

Let's be honest, wouldn't we rather see "Road Warrior 4" or "Payback 2" instead?:rolleyes:

Oh, it's not on the top of my list. But since the majority of movies are pretty boring anymore, I only go once or twice a year to see anything. I would see it to critique it anyway-my daughter will cringe if I invite her to go along with me. I am notorious-when I saw Troy and it was so bad-I yelled at the end of the movie when they really blew a part of the story. My daughter had to hold my arms to keep me from jumping up in the theater. That was a horrible movie, so un-Iliad-no gods!

Brad Pitt was a wonderful Achilles-handsome, conceited, ill-fated.

The movie stunk because where were the gods? That was always the best part of the Iliad! And they made Achilles mother into some old lady strolling on the beach-she was a sea nymph, she would have been gorgeous!

Will Mel Gibson be somehow writing the English into this phase of history as the bad guys?

I did like the Lethal Weapon movies, but #16 seems a bit far fetched.

I don't know much about the Apocalypto storyline, so I don't have a comment on it.
