Mel Gibson probably beats off to this 10 times a week with a belt tied around his neck - I prefer my snuff films to be shorter, though.

Intense movie that deals with its subject matter honestly, brutally, and maturely. Mel Gibson is a master at creating a visual masterpiece and this is no exception to that. The Passion of the Christ is an excellent movie on every front and is the kind of movie that will surely be remembered many years to come.

I fully expected this to be exploitation, and antisemitic, and really awful, but wow, I never expected it to be THIS bad. Its one amusing feature (took me a while to recognize) is that the gibberish they're speaking contains some atrociously mispronounced and ungrammatical Hebrew, plus trace amounts of Arabic. Anyway the sad thing is that Gibson really is just a symptom. This movie reflects something larger about Christianity, its view of the world and what "passion" means in that religion.

Shows the brutality of Jesus' death, and that's something a lot of Christians don't really realize or think about when they think of the cross. His death isn't as important as his resurrection, and this movie only slightly hints at that at the end. Oops- spoiler.

Even if you're not a religious person the story of Christ here in Mel Gibson's view is harrowing and brutal. It's tough to watch, but very very well done. Mel Gibson does put a bit of a twist on some aspects of the story, but it's just his speculation of events not described within the context of the bible.

As a linguist, it was fascinating to hear Aramaic on screen, and as a former Christian, the graphic violence was a fresh take on a story I've known since childhood. But as a generally decent person, I was disgusted by the level of racism and anti-semitism present and as a cinephile I was turned off by the misguided artistic choices throughout. Gibson took some risks making this, and while some paid off, most did not, leading to a cheesy, manipulative, self-indulgent offensive wreck of a film.

You all realize of course that THIS is the movie that started the boom of the torture-porn subgenre, not _Saw_ (although of course nobody, especially the godsquadders, wants to admit it). So noncommercial, ambitious, and just plain different (a 21st century movie shot in Aramaic?!) that it's consistently interesting, but there's so little here of real interest about the story of Jesus. He gets betrayed, He gets arrested, He gets tortured, He gets killed. And the portrayal of Satan is silly

"the greatest story ever told" meets "300". Hard to rate a movie that depends so much on ones beliefs (I wondered how many reviews I would read before I saw "Remember that Jesus went through all this for us !") but this retelling adds ZERO to the story, other than increasing the gore to 11, presumably in order to say "Look at his REAL level of suffering!". Well made, good central performance, but nothing more than a torture porn movie that thinks it has a good reason to exist. It doesn't.

So this is the movie that forever branded Caviezel as "that jesus guy", I'm surprised, he didn't actually do a bad job. Gibson seemed to go through a lot of effort to make this movie realistic featuring Latin and Aramaic, although no one would notice. I'm still a guy who shies away from religious stuff, so to the agnostics and atheists of the world this fails to be anything other than a guy speaking Aramaic while being beat up for two and a half hours.

Very mixed feelings about this so I'm not entirely sure this is the score I'd actually give it. Some find it to be life altering while others think it's a messy, soulless bloodbath. I believe in God. I think this happened. That doesn't mean I need to watch it every year let alone a second or third time. It is an unforgettable, visceral experience, and I personally think it's a powerful story. But I don't know. I never feel the need to revisit it.

To quote South Park: Say what you want about Mel Gibson, but the son of a bitch knows story structure! A movie about Jesus that begins with a "based on a true story" sign, doesn't get a lot of initial goodwill from my side. That said the movie is an extremely well executed and beautifully shot Jezploitation flick, even though it's a bit difficult to take it serious when the blood splatters all around and the poor jesus fall YET AGAIN, head first and in slowmotion, walking up Golgotha .

What was this movie about? Jesus, or blood, blood & even more blood? Probably Gibson put as much violence & gore as possible into it to 'aid' christians in remembering this movie as 'very confronting'. The amount of violence, blood, guts & gore made the movie very shocking, and those things will unfortunately be better rememberend than the story of jesus itself.

I can safely say this is one film that will never have even a relatively objective analysis. As a Christian, I think Mel crafted a heretical film: this is the heresy of Apollinarism married to snuff pornography. This is all visceral and scopophilic, punctuated with POV shots to induce empathy. Jesus was tortured so we wouldn't have to be - but this film makes us feel it anyway. Think what you will, but I think it's unsound.

The cynical portrayal of the passions and suffering of the Christ crushes the viewer like a steamroller with a seemingly endless and relentless pounding and an ever increasing intensity. It is gruesome, horrific, sickening. And probably vastly and unimaginably underrated compared to what our Saviour actually experienced under the weight of all of our sins. Glory be to God. Hristo Shopov with an excellent role and great to see Christo Jivkov. Monica Bellucci fit in surprisingly well here too.

While I can see why this would be powerful for followers of Christianity it's repetitiveness, overuse of slow-mo and flashbacks, and over-the-top depiction of everyone who isn't Jesus or a follower makes it a slog for people who are just watching it to see what all the fuss is about.
