It's Gibson's taste for carnage that defeats him in the end. The brutality is relentless, and the many ways in which blood is spilt so ingenious, that it's numbing. Once the adrenaline rush subsides, there's nothing left. January 13, 2007 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

This is by no means a boring film, then, but it is a grotesque one, and that brings it pretty close to camp. December 30, 2006 | Full Review…

As a piece of filmmaking it's certainly strong enough to restore his commercial viability. Whether that's to the good is another question entirely. December 30, 2006 | Full Review…

Apocalypto is the very best thing Gibson has done as a director, and should not be missed because of a shared repugnance for his off-screen worldview. May 20, 2020 | Full Review…

There is something different in Gibson's application of violence. The objections seem to lie not just in Gibson's realistic portrayal of cruelty but in the judgment he brings to it. October 16, 2018 | Full Review…

A quite exciting spectacle based on a racist version of indigenous history, one in which the genocidal conquistadors are the New World's liberators. July 18, 2014 | Full Review…

Apocalypto isn't simply an effective movie, but an immensely powerful one: a benchmark and a foresight seemingly all rolled into one. October 22, 2013 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

Damn if the movie, through Mel's sheer determination, doesn't almost turn from a fight-n-flight gore fest into a moving meditation on a civilisation in the throes of decline. Almost. November 7, 2012 | Rating: 3/5
