We just watched this movie, rather I watched half and closed my eyes and stuffed my fingers in my ears for the other half. Colossus watched all of it except he covered his eyes with a pillow during an underwater birth scene. We're both wandering around traumatized right now, and Colossus even says he's going to run three Disney movies in a row just to get his focus readjusted. Man this is a hard movie to watch. It's beautifully done, and the story is all there, but gruesomegruesomegruesome and then some. If you're on a diet I recommend watching. You'll lose your appetite for weeks.

You're making the correct choice, Chewpito. Colossus gets nightmares from graphic movies, too, and now he's wandering around trying to figure out what combination of drugs will force him to sleep but won't cause blue Mayan hallucinations. I figure if I just hit him across the back of the head with a frying pan . . . situation handled. He'll have Road Runner dreams the rest of the night.

Well, that's very interesting! I loved the movie! To me it wasn't gruesome, just nail-biting. It is a very intense movie but its so well done I hope everyone sees it. GAL, tell Colossus I think he's a big WUSS!! ROFL!!!

I didn't go to the theatre to see this movie but I watched it on Pay per view channel and taped it for later review. However, after watching I deleted it from my dvr as I was a bit disappointed. Gibson makes an interesting point as the already crumbling Inca Empire but I was turned off by the excess amount of violence. I guess it was that violent but I see a trend in Gibson's movies that I don't like very much. Braveheart was violent but had a different quality that I couldn't find in this movie. I thought after the Passion of Christ he would toned down the bloody aspect of his movies but he didn't. It's a 'watch once' movie for me.
