I watched The Passion Of The Christ last night with my friend because I had heard so much about it that Iwanted to see what all the fuss was about. I was shocked at how horribly Jesus last few hours were portrayed. I think when Mel Gibson had the idea of Passion Of The Christ he was trying to shock people and the only way he knew how to do it was to turn the story of the crucifixion into a nasty snuff movie. I don't argue that Jesus suffered at the end of his life. I am a Christian and am aware of the pain He went through to save us but this film is horrible. The plot of the film is basically the crucifixion that we all know about and events that ... Read the complete review

I watched Mel Gibson’s controversial The Passion of the Christ when it was on TV on Easter Sunday (yes, I have that much of a backlog of reviews!). I’m not religious at all, but I figured this would be the most fitting time to watch it, it there is such a time. Obviously, it tells the story of the final 12 hours in the life of Jesus of Nazareth, from his betrayal in the Garden of Gethsemane, to his final crucifixion. Along the way we see flashbacks of Jesus’s life, including the last supper and his teaching on the mountain, and we follow Mary Magdalene, somebody and somebody as they follow Jesus’s torturous final moments. That’s probably the ... Read the complete review

The best horror film of its year, Mel Gibson's highly controversial The Passion Of The Christ is a gruelling, visceral, graphic, exhausting chronicle of the last hours of Christ's life, from his arrest through his trail and scourging and, finally, death by crucifixion. Arguments about the anti-Semitic content of the piece (is Gibson blaming the Jews for the death of Jesus Christ? Is the film designed to incite hatred?) seemed a touch ridiculous as the time of release, but have become - given that infamous, disgusting drunken outburst - impossible to discount in the years since. Whether or not Gibson's film is hate-mongering trash, however, is up ... Read the complete review

~ ~ It’s hard to recall when a film last caused such a furore of criticism and comment in the media (both good and bad) as this two-hour plus depiction of Christ’s last hours on earth, “The Passion Of The Christ”. (Well, maybe Fahrenheit 911!) ~ ~ Mel Gibson, the famous all-action actor (and devout Christian), decided he wanted to make a movie about Christ’s Passion, from the time of his betrayal by Judas Iscariot in the Garden of Gethsemane to his death on the Cross at Calvary at the hands of the Jews and Romans. But the backing (or the motivation) to make such a movie was lacking in present-day Hollywood, so Gibson took the almost unprecedented decision to ... Read the complete review

I’m not sure why I wanted to watch this film, it was probably out of curiosity (and we all know what that did to the cat!) The write-ups were very mixed; some saying it was far too violent, other saying it was a true depiction of Christ’s last twelve hours. I even understand the Jews got upset at the way in which they were portrayed in the film - as barbaric. My wife wasn’t quite so keen on watching the film, due to hearing other people shedding tears during the course of the 2 hours. We sat and watched it on Saturday afternoon, and the first thing that became apparent was it wasn’t in English! Now whether this was my version only or whether it was ... Read the complete review
