Seen Apocalypto yesterday

Went Apocalypto yesterday, no special reason, only the timing is right.

Usually I check Rotten Tomatoes for rating (my son told me about this site) before a movie. Yes, they have large scale of reviews from many individuals or groups, amateur or pro. They do try to make personal subjective opinions to be objective, but sometime I found the outcome from its rating not really suit my taste; for references, OK.

Still, thank you, Ming, for the webs.

Apocalypto, the theme is alright, just too violent, too much blood shed and gore.
Quite like some of this movie's front lines —
A civilization is usually ruined from within more than from outside conquer.
Two forces existing---
fight for love and fight for hatred (usually the force for love sustains.)

In the meantime, the "War is not an answer" fight staging on a parking lot is amusing.

You are absolutely right, I always check the ratings with Rotten Tomattoes but I still get burned many times when renting DVDs. I think the most likely reason is that we are not interest in the story or we are not the right "age" the movie targeted. The Devil Wears Prada (2006) and Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006) are some of the example for me.
