In Reply to: Apocalypto -- Not recommended, unless, that is... posted by clarkjohnsen on December 10, 2006 at 05:50:27:
I had mixed feelings about seeing Apocolypso, but your review helps to place the intensity of this film in a perspective that makes it sound like a compelling production. I may just have to take a chance on this one while it's showing locally based on your impressions because this sounds like a film that probably works best on the BIG screen rather than as a rental.In fairness, I realize that I've been a bit critical of your occasional posting of Duncan Shepherd's reviews, in particular strongly critical opinions about films that you haven't seen yourself, because you feel that the critic writes great prose. Well, sometimes Mr. Shepherd does write great prose; other times his writing just seems insufferably pretenscious, but that's just one man's take; others may see this critic's reviews differently.
The point I'm trying to make here is that your first hand reviews are far more interesting and informative, IMHO. Now the ball is in the forum reader's court to assess your impressions and make an effort to see this film while it's playing; you've provided a very nice overview.
