The only merit of this terrible film is Jim Caviezel's performance as Jesus. Other than that, this is one of the worst films I've ever seen. The overly excessive violence obscures whatever message Mel Gibson was attempting to deliver. Historical, or at least biblical, accuracy is tampered with to the point that the film's plot is unrecognisable in comparison to biblical accounts.

Not as good as the book...

The Passion of the Christ was always bound to be a project to divide audiences and despite being an atheist myself I was actually fairly interested in the idea of the film, considering I thoroughly enjoy and connect to stories that thematically relate to faith. I do not want to go into the religious aspect behind Mel Gibson's directorial debut as it's frankly lost on me, but the huge problem I have with it is that I don't for a second believe in its intentions. Judged purely as a movie I think it doesn't succeed and in many ways downright fails miserably. Describing the last days and primarily focusing on the torture and execution of Jesus Christ it is a…

La única película que conozco en el género Sacro-Gore.
Imaginemos que alguien no conoce la historia de Jesús , su muerte y resurrección. La película no se esfuerza por incluir narrativamente a "no iniciados" (je).
Supongo que alguien le encontrará encanto a ver cómo le ponen una infame putiza a su deidad favorita. Hay de todo en la viña del señor (je).

I'm not sure why they spend the whole movie torturing the easter bunny... Seems a bit excessive.

Errrrm I this was pretty brutal but if you remove the graphic scenes, as a film, I think it's quite weak really.

I don't know why it was exactly, but you HAD to see this movie. I don't think I LIKED it exactly, but it certainly made me feel something, even if that something was nothing but constant cringing thanks to the ultraviolence. I still think this is one of the most violent movies I've ever seen, which seems weird to say.

Jim Caviezel is really good. The movie is kind of a slog apart from that. If you're feeling adventurous, check out Martin Scorsese's "The Last Temptation of Christ" for a far more rich, interesting portrayal of Jesus.

I am not a religious person. If you know me, you know my views have been reduced to "I have no proof who or what exists, and I don't plan to get involved any time soon." I wasn't raised religiously, despite both of my parents having some sort of religious upbringing; my father an altar boy, my mother an avid church-goer. I'm glad I wasn't. I believe religion is an idea and concept one should pursue and study if they want to when they get older. Rather than being dragged every Sunday to a place of worship, being almost forced into beliefs, it's much more effective to allow a kid when he's older to form his own beliefs.

Not as funny as Life of Brian.

[DISCLAIMER: It is difficult for me to talk about this movie without getting into at least a little bit what it means for me on a personal level with my faith. I can discuss it as a piece of filmmaking, but for me the conversation on this one isn't complete unless I talk about what I hear it saying about Christianity. So, know that if you read this.]
The last time I watched this was my junior year of high school, if I remember correctly, and I had seen it once before with my father when it was first in theaters. The first time I saw it I was terrified - not so much because of the violence but because…
