Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

I watch a lot of movies each week and I find this movie to be the most disturbing of the hundreds I have watched this year alone. There are several scenes that very unnecessary and very brutal. This movie should be banned because of the actual killing of six animals. They are not glancing shots either, close-up's of animals being killed just to make a movie. It's a disgusting film. The plot to the movie has been used several times before. Lost in the Amazon and someone comes to the rescue. What they find is a little different. I imagine it has it's cult following of whack-o's, doesn't most of the controversial movies?

Seducing the "wild" side of every humans.The only unwatchable thing is the killing of innocent animals. They are real not graphics

This movie was in no way aided by the amount of gore and animal torture included in it. And for anyone using the excuse that "it happens" and "what about factory farming" need to stop. Rape, murder, and cannibalism all happen as well, but they were able to depict those actions realistically without harming any humans. Factory farming is wrong. That is correct. Not sure why that makes hacking the head off a screaming in fear defenseless monkey okay. Oh right, because some sicko will pay to watch it. I'd call this snuff for snobs: 1.5 hours of aninal torture and rape with a plot and script to make it digestible.

The message of this movie is suppose to be anti-imperialist, claiming that civilized western society is no better than cannibals. Whilst western civilization has done plenty of evil stuff in the name of science centuries ago, to claim that we are no better than cannibals is a ridiculous statement fuelled only by white guilt. There are numerous things wrong with this idea: First of all: The movie implies that 4 psychopathic film students are representative of the white western race and western science. If he had said that about any other race he would have been branded a racist.Secondly: The movie also implies that this is how anthropology and nature documentaries are done.....I assure you, it isn't.And Thirdly: The tribesmen were already practicing ritual sacrifices, rape and cannibalism before the documentary makers came along.The director's message also states that the west unethically exploits primitive cultures and nature for the sake of sensationalism. Yet ironically the only one who unethically exploited living beings for the sake of sensationalism was the director himself when he ordered the slaughter of numerous exotic animals on camera in gruesome ways. They: stabbed a baby Coati raccoon(which was wrongly identified as a muskrat in the movie)in the face, dissected a large river turtle, decapitated a Boa constrictor, chopped the face off a squirrel monkey, squashed a tarantula to death and kicked and shot a pig in the face at point blank range.I give this movie a 5/10. Whilst the realism is certainly astonishing. The message of this movie combined with the animal cruelty it displays are the work of a morally bankrupt mind and shouldn't be condoned. Ruggero Deodato set out to prove something about western civilization but all he ended up proving is that he himself is an uncivilized barbarian.
