What I think about the movie? exactly the same thing as the person who commented on IMDB.com, so I am not going to repeat all that.
I guess I was very prejudiced before seeing it, but I found it was not as bad, or cruel as I expected it to be. but it was not so good either.
Mel Gibson did a good job, but it could have been done better. Perhaps the amount of torture was a bit overdone, but hey, it's the story of the bible, none the less, so what you get is: the story of the bible, and none less.
So I recommend: only watch the film if you would read the bible. If you feel no urge to, or find joy in reading the bible, than don't watch this movie.
What I found remarcable is that I found the people in the movie, however cruel their actions, very real. Very human. I saw them, and the events happening, and it was so clear to me that the same thing would still happen today. People were no different 2000 years ago. They are no different now. Whether they are in Europe or in the Middle east, or on the north pole, they are all the same people with the same feelings, question and needs.
I did not see Jesus as our saviour or anything, I just saw a man who was put to death for no clear reason. And that is exactly what I read when I read the bible. So the movie is a very good addition to the bible. I find the bible a bit too hard to comprehend. The movie is much easyer.
great thumbs up for the devil. I loved its appearence.
this is a film which just had to be made. For the simple reason that it is a very famous and very well-known story.
I'd like to know the reactions of other people who've seen the movie... so please comment!
