I just saw this one on DVD, but I wish I would have seen it in the theater.
What a spectacle it is.
It is so over the top at times... I found myself laughing out loud!
At the same time, I was dumbfounded by the images that I saw.
This is Mel Gibson? Of course it is.
A revisitation of familiar themes, to be sure.
I don't know of any other film that has evoked such a detailed and vivid depiction of "ancient" Latin-American culture.
A silly movie, but wildly enjoyable!
