Something makes me think the PR team was ok with putting that vibe out there even though the film has what I'd call a normal violence level... Lastly, reviews are now pouring in and the cream of the crop at RT has Apocalypto at 33%. We might win this little skirmish yet...

Negative or positive we stick by these guidelines. Normally I don't care it just blew me away how all these positive reviews kept popping up and then the article at New York Times just sort of put it over the top. I have Laremy's review ready to go and you will see it late Thursday at the latest.

This isn't a movie that I've really been looking forward to (The Pasion of the Christ did not work for me... even though I'm Catholic), but I would like to hear an opinion from a site that I trust. So, why? Is it because Touchstone is afraid of negative publicity? Why can't you guys post on, Brad?
