I just finished watching Passion of the Christ...

...and I must say it is a superb film...it is a film I am stunned with and willnot forget in a while.

I just couldnt stop watching it, it was so captivating.

wow, just wow, I dont know what to say...one of the best films I have ever seen.

props to Mel Gibson though, thats for sure.

Tell me your thoughts on the movie if you have seen it.

I keep forgetting its there. Next time when its a rainy day or maybe tonight, ill pop it in my DVD player.

I found it to be a very powerful film, but I couldn't help feeling just a little bit like Stan and Kenny after it was over.

"That wasn't a movie, that was a snuff film!"

I liked the movie, but I wouldn't watch it again.RogerC44

I think I would not either because I think its one of those movies for me, that seeing it once is good enough.

I don't know...IMO

torturing someone for 2 hours is in NOTEntertainmentCelldweller465

tell that to the saw and hostel fans.

What do you mean by"Not enough cowbell"?

it was brutal, but a well made filmApocalypse33

I completely agree.

[QUOTE="Greatgone12"]I hated that movie. Not enough cowbell.Soul_Killa_Dark

Never question Bruce Dickinson!

I hated it, It was shallow, dull, and had no substance.

A film must contain an good story, good dialogue and still be entertaining. That film contain non of that. It was just Jesus being tortured for 2 hours.

However, in terms of cinematography it managed to create an atmosphere and thats the films only redeeming feature.

The Movie itself was great, but I say the reception of the movie is just so biased and ridiculous.

First of all, Most Christians were so against violence and gore shown on TV and media culture, but after seeing this movie full ofprepulsive torture, they say "ITs GREAT. THIS MOVIE SHOULD BE SEEN BY EVERYONE IN THIS COUNTRY." How sadly ironic is that? On one side, they despise(or they say they do) violence and blood shown. What about this? Not a single critical comment had been made about the bloody content. While this is because the movie is focused on Christ himself and not the bloody content, it's obvious that the reception which was leaned towards The Passion was biased in favor of Christians.

Second, Jews were silent about this movie. While I'm not a Jew, I never can understand how it feels to be depicted as negetive characters in Christian Movies, but simply put: I'd be pissed. However, most of the negative reviews of Jews were all ignorant(which I hardly doubt) or silenced in their voices about the movie. This shows how much America is so publiclyinfluenced by religion when it comes to big issues.

Third, Mel Gibson is a racist.

I couldn't sit through it. I thought religious movies were supposed to be uplifting and inspiring. This movie was anything but.

I laughed through most of the movie because it was so sappy and was annoyed at what i percieved was anti-semitism in that movie.

Because he makes a moviebased on the Bible?

I quite enjoyed watching Jesus being tortured for 2 hours. The Romans gave him plenty of chances to go free but Jesus kept having to make sarcastic comments to get their noses up. He deserved everything he got.thecreepingmess

Actually he's quite right about the first part. Many Christians claim to be against violence, and bash movies and video games for their violence and not what they focus on. But then they make exceptions for anything Bible related. Its not "a load of ****", as you so eloquently put it, it's the truth, and like he said, its ironic.

I am not so sure about the second part of his post though.

I think he meant anti-semetist. Which is most likely is, considering how he depicted Jews in The Passion and his past behavior.

Is that the one based on that ficiton character guy who died and came back a zombie?

SaintLeonidas

I thought that it was very terribly done, it's just some guy being tortured for 2 hours without explaination, or plot, or anything else you'd expect from a movie.yoshi-lnex

How would you not know the plot?! :shock:

Well i dont know much about the bibel i have never even read it. But isnt the movie based on the storys in the Bible?

So is the Bible anti-semetist?

Yes and no,depending on who you ask. I suggest finding out for yourself.

But as far as I know Mel Gibson hates Jews and his movie reflects that.

True. Sorry I jumped on you.

meh... I heard it makes the jews out as the bad guys...(which is easy to believe considering Mel Gibson is a well-known anti semite)...so naturally I didn't bother watching.

As for the guy that asked about it being based on the bible... As a director, Gibson doesn't have to follow the story in the bible exactly. He can take the original story, shape, mold, and interpret it his way, and show you that.

From what I can remember it was a good movie.....

1. I'm not saying the Passion is bad. The receptions were.

2. Everything I said was said in the news. Find it in Wikipedia or whatever by finding the reception towards Passion. It's been discussed before so it's not total bull.

3, U know why that's the biggest load of crap you've read in a long time? It's because you don't read. Simply put, you're not an active reader.

4. And yes. Mel Gibson is a racist. Everyone knows that.

The Old testament is by Jews, so I don't see how the Bible is anti-semetist.

Thats a load of bull, Christians like Violence & Gore on TV as much as the next person. You guys do nothing thats said in the bible.
