Apocalypto certainly was none of the movies I would have purchased if it weren’t for the still poor offer in BD here in the UK. The fact that the movie was directed by Mel Gibson certainly was no help either as I seem to have created a Mel Gibson hate in recent years, probably helped by a quote I read on rec.arts.movies.international:
Mel Gibson is Stanley Kubrick on steroids.
It seems though that The Passion of Christ no accident was and Mel Gibson actually _can_ direct some. Still, I refuse to acknowledge any comparison to Kubrick, the Master.
