this is so boring and is basically an attempt at making something beautiful but instead feels outdated and so boring. for one point during the film a family is shown on screen just sitting there for 5 minutes doing absolutely nothing. we had to watch this in class and i was trying my hardest to not fall asleep...had i seen this outside of class i would of turned it off after the first 15 minutes. not only does this film not have any point but the acting and the writing is terrible. the interaction between the main characters is not even believable and you just wish they would give up on each other already

First of all I am a devout Christian. At the beginning, there are no credits and they dont present the title. This movie is unbelievable in the fact that Christians will be awed at the movie. This is finally a movie that isn't afraid to show the true intensity of the beatings or crucifixion. If people think that Gibson did this just for himself they are wrong. He didn't even mention the credits or title it at the beginning. In my opinion, the most powerful scenes in the movie are when Jesus takes the beating with the cat o' nine tails or when the one soldier stabs Jesus in the side to make sure he's dead. In that scene with the side stabbing, Gibson shows blood pouring out of his side. Then he pulls the camera out to show a larger scene with the blood pouring out. If I could sum up this movie with one word it would be WOW!!! For people that aren't Christians, this movie still would serve as a great movie because it shows the amount of pain that one man went through for others, even if some people don't believe in Christ. This in my opinion the most powerful movie that I have ever seen because of the great message it delivers that Christ died for everybody's sins. For some however, they will still get the message whether they believe in him or not. I wish that everyone would see it; and for the record the movie ISN'T Anti-Semitic.
