Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Fantastic documentary about Montezuma who ruled a large and powerful empire during the mid-ages in Mexico until the arrival of his most bloody enemy Hernan Cortez...hosted by Dan Snow a young British historian who follow the Hernan Cortez's steps until the final and main target,the greatest city of the world in this period of time Tenochtitlan where takes place the documentary among others nearby sites and telling how the empire works and about your neighbors who had to pay heavy taxes to lives in peace... despite this,the documentary has a little problem, Dan Snow talking so fast that you have often go back to try to understand the meaning,in fact l'm a suspicious to given my opinion cos' l love Mexico's ancient history with all kind those people who lived there for thousand and half years and still does!!
