Right. I knew this comment would come up.

No, it's not wrong in every way.

Please read them all. The Maya did not perform mass sacrifice like in the movie, and when practiced sacrifice it was for religious purposes and not at all in the manner portrayed in the movie. Saying "with heavy Aztec influences" is disingenous at best because you're admitting the movie is not accurate to the portrayal of the Mayans. The movie is a mix of indigenous cultures glued together but still Gibson says it's "accurate". This is like making a movie about a Native American tribe but depicting them as savages who scalp men and wear and dresses the same way as x other Native American tribe (there were over 500+) and then calling it "accurate".
