I liked it.

Presentation made no compromises in showing the suffering involved, and the performances were great enough to compliment it.

Ending was a little predictable, and the plot's been done before, but overall it was pretty good :P

[QUOTE="PernicioEnigma"]I want to see it, Jesus getting whipped and beaten sounds like my kinda movie.Snipes_2

You want to see it so you can see Jesus getting whipped and Crucified? :?

Here's a nice accurate review:

"So, if it's a largely plotless, horrendously violent film that takes glee in the suffering of its protagonist you're after, look no further thanThe Passion Of The Christ. It'sthe winner of the 'torture porn' genre."

[QUOTE="Xx_Hopeless_xX"] It wasn't "torture porn"as you so condescendingly phrase it..movies like "Saw" or "House of a Thousand Corpses" could be considered torture porn...this movie was accurately portraying the intense and brutal suffering Jesus went through throughout the Passion...which is why i believe is why it grossed so much...for this accurate portrayal..whereas a light hearted unrealistically portrayed cartoon would not appeal to Christians en masse..again to reiterate my previous point..it accurately portrayed the events before the Crucifixion in a realistic and moving fashion..

again, i disagree. it looks like a torture porn film to me...

I would also like to know why you disagree..

Loved it, thought it was hilarious when Jesus was crucified. I loled a bunch. HoolaHoopMan

[QUOTE="Xx_Hopeless_xX"]I don't really get what you're trying to say...the movie has no overt gore..it's more brutal then anything else..ganon92

The gore and brutality go hand in hand. I'm pretty sure in the part where Jesus is being whipped with the flagellum thing, chunks of his back are being ripped off. That's pretty gory, especially when it's prolonged and presented in detail.

[QUOTE="Xx_Hopeless_xX"][QUOTE="lazerface216"]

but that's why people went to see it. they didn't go for the story of jesus' crucifixion. they went for the gore.

lazerface216

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

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

[QUOTE="Andrew_Xavier"][QUOTE="Xx_Hopeless_xX"]You're mad the movie didn't get protested..?..Really now..Xx_Hopeless_xX

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.
