I would think so. I'd be a little disappointed if it was The Holiday.

[b]Apocalypto great movie. Heard it was number 1 fri.[/b]
I was surprised that Blood Diamond opened the same weekend as Apocalypto. I really thought Apocalypto was a great movie. Even though the movie was 218 minutes, I did not notice the time. I was engulfed in historic time and place. Even though it might not be that factual, Gibson was successful in taking you back to a different time.

Yes, it is violent, but a lot of societies in ancient times had violence like Rome and the Vikings.

I am also glad that Gibson did a movie about Pre-Columbian times. No one has ever made a movie about Mesoamerica and Pre-Columbian Mexico.

It is a first and a success in my opinion.

I have seen a lot of biased reviewers like Jan Stuart 'discuss' Gibson more than the movie. People like that make me want to see the movie more.
