The Passion of the Christ (2004)

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Seriously, if Jesus knew when to shut his big mouth, he wouldn't have gotten tortured and killed. He was warned many times to stop yapping nonsense but he continued and continued. I truly believe the Jews must have thought that Jesus was mentally stupid and decided to kill him. Jesus' followers (who were probably not right in the head also) decided to write a book about him and make up stuff that he apparently can do (even though the laws of nature would prevent him to do almost all of his stunts). This movie barely has a plot. If you enjoy watching Jesus get beaten down for almost 2 hours, then this movie is for you. I enjoy seeing Jesus get beaten up, but for 2 hours it gets boring. The true master of the world Satan barely gets a role in this movie. Satan has character, Jesus was just a one trick pony in this movie. Jesus never changes from the beginning until the end, he just goes around saying "I am the son of the God in heaven," which really annoyed the Jews and that is why they slaughtered him.The only good thing are the special effects, the "Freddy Kruegar" claw that Jesus gets whipped with is a pretty cool effect, the acting is good, and the directing by Mel is great. Too bad this movie is barely a movie. It is just a propaganda device used to milk religious peoples' wallets dry, and for them to go around and force feed this nonsense into modern society.Bad Movie, but great acting and directing.

Give this a good rating!!!! The movie was brilliant, beautiful, happy and sad. So many people don't like this movie but it is flawless.

This movie is anti Protestant. And that is the truth. The proof? The passion of the Christ is in Aramaic, Hebrew, and 15th century Latin, the third being the language of the Spanish Inquisisition and Tomas deTorquemada. The priests were the ones to read the scriptures to the masses , instead of the masses reading the scriptures in their own dialect. And what's more the church-state integration of 15th century Spain. What else did Columbus leave Spain for India for, ( without the knowledge of terre incognito) There are critics, and there are critics. You have now heard the truth

This movie is so powerful, moving and depicts the final days of Jesus Christ as the scripts are written. Mel Gibson directs this movie as close to the truth as possible without falsifying information. How could people depict Mel Gibson as anti Semitic when all he did was put on screen what our bible stipulates. Would anyone call the Christian bible anti Semitic? Nonetheless, the performance of the actors are tremendous. Get ready with a box full of tissues because Passion of the Christ is so moving that you start rethinking how good of a person you truely are.
