Thoughts on Passion of the Christ?

Please, no comments about God doesn't exist and blah blah blah. I just want to know what you thought of the movie. I sometimes had to look away, it was pretty brutal. :?

Oh wow. I actually have never seen it. Another movie I need to watch.

I've only seen part of it; I should probably watch the whole thing one day.

I thought it was a great movie.

Very intense. Not that great the second time though.

I liked the movie. But I don't like Mel Gibson.

I thought it was kind of dumb to be honest.

It's a mega guilt trip and the scene where he finally dies is strange because they had to fit in all the different things that the different gospels report he said. Overall though it was alright. I easily prefer Apocalypto over it, that's definitely Mel's best movie.domatron23

Very underrated, it seems to have dissapeared from everybody's minds since it was released.

It is definitely one of the most intense and violent movies ever made.

nothing but torture porn garbage.

Cheap snuff.

Also why the hell was Jesus white? Isnt he supposed to be middle easter?

Yes it was very gruesome. Much of the film was jesus being whipped and beaten if I recall. It was still an interesting movie, though they could have toned down the gore a little. EJ902

I actually heard that that movie was a very realistic portrayals of what Jesus's crucifixion would have been like, so I will excuse the gore.

Terrible, unnecessary film. Hilariously, it got away with being about the movie graphically violent movie ever made...and yet if you put out a horror film with 1/16th the violence and graphic gore, parent groups go insane. I personally found the film revolting.

I thought it was a very good movie..

That's why the gore was excused in this case. It was supposed to be a depiction of what actually happened to one of the most important figures in history. It wasn't some Saw clone where it's just people torturing people.

I liked the movie, but it was really sad and intensly gore.

Some parts made me want to get in their and kick some butt along side with Jesus.

Kick some Roman butt; yea i'm cool like that. 8)

Nice acting by all actors.

They didnt know any better really... I mean back then it was normal for a roman man to have a little boy who he would teach how to hunt, and be a man etc. And at night the guy would.... You know....the little boy.. Now adays thats like the worst thing anyone can imagine but it wasnt back then its just what people did. People were just different back then. Their value of life was so much different back then than it is now

everyone i know saw it for the blood and gore. do you honestly believe it would have as hyped or been as big of a box office success as it was without all the gore? puh-lease :roll:.that's all people talked about was how gruesome it was.

[QUOTE="NiteLights"]

[QUOTE="ferrari2001"] yep.. The Romans were masters of torture.. They would torture criminals almost to the point of death and then kill them by crucifixion or beheading. It probably would have been slightly more gruesome in real life than in the film though. VendettaRed07

Great Movie. Gives people some insight on how Jesus suffered.
