  I looked forward to it for months, but was pissed that Gibson wasted the entire complex Mayan thing he created just to backdrop a bad remake of "Naked Prey".

  I've resisted this and his Jesus film but now, you've got me curious.

        The BIG disappointment was that 'pyramid city' was not a lengthy sequence in the film. I wanted to see more of it and the royal excesses but the most flukie of things happened to cut it all short. (Damn those eclipses!)
