Lucifer M This film is one hell of an epic masterpiece! Gibson may be a controversial figure but he’s one phenomenal filmmaker, that’s for sure. For those that are sensitive and easily offended claiming that it’s showing indigenous people as barbaric savages…let me give you a sobering reminder that, yes, they actually did things just like shown in the film! Mass sacrifices were part of their culture to appease their gods. This isn’t fake Hollywood exploitation or exaggeration here folks. Biased criticism solely because you may not like the director and his controversies does not have to bleed into his filmmaking. Hate the man but the art speaks for itself! The cinematography, the set and costume designs, makeup, SFX, score, editing and the performances all around are top notch here and in full display. Gibson is at his best when creating period epics. He genuinely has a natural talent and an eye for authenticity , no matter what he’s tackling.

The overall story was great, just wished we’d had a little more time in the city to learn more about the culture— though I know it was supposed to be the briefest of introductions. Amazing costume and set design. Loved the main actor! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/01/25 Full Review Audience Member This is one of those rare movies that takes you on an epic journey and you don't come back to your world until after it's over and all the credits are done scrolling. You are immersed in the lives of the ancient forest people and you feel everything they go through even though you don't understand a single word they speak. This is a story of love, friendship, dedication, fear, courage resilience and survival. You feel like you are a better person after watching it and you feel more respect for what matters most in life. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/25 Full Review Michael S Maybe a Top 10 movie all time for me. Can't believe I slept on it for so long. Say what you want about Mel, but he's a genius and this is a masterpiece. Character building, jungle, costumes, acting. My heart was rushing the whole movie, haven't been strapped to me seat like this since the end of top gun. A true triumph. If only they made movies like this still. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/25 Full Review xpig332 B I can understand the movie critics at 65%, they’re a bunch of pretentious clowns, but I would have expected higher ratings from the audience. Maybe I was biased to like it since I studied the ancient Americas 40 years ago, but I thought it was excellent. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/25 Full Review Read all reviews
