The Ruins (2008)
1/10
This movie does not make any sense! VERY Stupid!
11 April 2008
So, in this movie, (which COULD have been a lot better written and hence a very interesting movie but instead sucks) sets up like this: 4 douchebag whitebread college students go to Mexico. They go visit some Mayan ruins that are all covered with vines. Because they touched the vines that are all over the ruins, the crazy locals will not let them leave and force them to stay at the top of the ruin. The locals fear the vines so much they shoot dead one of their own children when one of the college kids throws a vine at him.

They have ample means to make fire when trapped on top of the ruins, and they do make fires to stay warm. Also, they know how much the locals, who are their captors, fear the vines. So its pretty simple, if you are not a stupid moron, or writer of a really, really stupid movie, you take the vines and THROW THEM AT YOUR ALL OF YOUR CAPTORS JUST LIKE YOU DID WITH THE KID! You DO NOT sit around slowly dying of thirst and breaking your bones after trying to go down into the ruin! Also, you light the vines that cover the entire ruin on fire! Then you escape! That would have worked as a MUCH better distraction rather than what they did in this movie, and everyone would have had a much better chance to survive. OR what about the other freakin side of the ruin? They only were guarding only one side! And during the entire movie we ONLY see one side of the ruin! The movie does not explain simple logical things like this. You do NOT do all the stupid stuff they do in this stupid movie! What the hell was that? I have not read the book and I hope its better than this, but whoever wrote this movie is an idiot. And all you people that liked this movie are idiots, you probably like Titanic and Shia Labouf movies too.
