A Primeira Tentação de Cristo

First of all, this is a lousy movie. But I suspect that most of the people here that are trashing it have not actually seen it. They are just being told by the bigots in their pulpits and in the right-wing publications they read that it is something they should rail against. These people deserve the same level of disrespect that they regularly direct at those whose lifestyle is different from their own.

Although the movie ratings verge between the hysterical 1 (probably by people who haven't seen it) and 8-10 (by people who have probably seen it stoned) the ultimate 4-5 rating is actually spot on. The film ia a very average, rather short spoof comedy that's also being let down by the subtitles (I speak Portuguese). You won't ROTFL but you might chuckle at a few scenes and .. erm that's it. Oh and for those who scream 'would they dare satirize other religions', yes there's a sequence where they do and rather savagely at that.

Sitting here, wishing I didn't have to read the subtitles, but this is killing me. Every family holiday party wrapped up in one!

I thought it was pretty funny, people need to stop being so offended.

I believe our creator gave us a sense of humor. Of course we each have different senses of that humor. If you have an open mind, go with the flow, and can except that no harm is meant in a somewhat sleazy depiction of these historical figures, then this is something that may allow a few chuckles to come out. It's a parody, if that bothers you, simply stay away.
