Following his bloody and very violent film, 2004’s “The Passion of the Christ,” comes Mel Gibson’s latest epic. “Apocalypto.” I didn’t know what to expect from the film, since I never read any material about the plot – not even newspaper articles. I like to be surprised on some movies. I just knew there was a lot of talk about the film, since Mel’s run in with the law last year. The Mickey Mouse film division, Touchstone Pictures, was a bit nervous that Mr. Gibson’s trouble may create a poor showing of the film. In any case, this doesn’t affect the review.

And will it spawn other sequels?
