Passion of the Christ.

I have read the book and I just saw the movie last night. I am a christian; however, I have read scripture and other religously based works, both fiction and non-fiction regarding almost every known religion in the world. I am a christian by choice, not because it is the only religion I have ever been exposed to or know anything about. \n\nThat said, I loved the book and thought the movie was way underwritten. Definately worth seeing, but the screenplay was terrible and character development was absent. How, people knew what they knew and when they knew it was absurd. And the stupidity (you don't have to let everyone know about your change in flight plans immediately after you decide to change them. You don't buy train tickets on a credit card when your running from the cops....) started to get annoying. The movie sped up when it should of slowed down and left things in that could have been omitted. On the other hand it also had a kindergardenish way of over explaining when it should have moved on (like the mansion scene). This may be okay for those who haven't read the book or aren't aware of who Mary Magdalene was.\n \nI didn't think it was boring, but I'm into this kind of material a lot. As for the fictional/nonfictional status. definately fictional, and I don't say this because it conflict with the Holy Bible whose origins and completeness have its own host of questions. To me, it just doesn't make sense for God to leave a bloodline through Jesus.  It makes sense for Jesus to have a wife or a 'companion' as much as it makes sense for any Jewish carpenter to have a wife. Was this fact entirely omited during the assembly of the Holy Bible???? Possibly.  Just one of many questions. I think the Da Vinci Code is a 'what if' type of work that does not try to affend anyone, but have fun with this question.\n\nI'll tell you what....What if...through DNA testing they found out that Mohammed suffered from severe BiPolar disorder? Imagine the Hoopla that movie would stir.\n\nExplore life...spread peace.

I thought it was an OK movie.  It was cute, humorous, quirky in some parts.  It has a deeper meaning though, in my opinion.\nWe're always trying to fast forward through life, without savoring each moment we DO have with our loved ones.  He was lucky, he got a second chance.....because it was a dream.\nWe don't.  So don't waste your lives focusing & worrying about work, etc!!!  There's SO much more!!!

The criticism of extremist religions was appropriate, considering what's been going on in the world for the last couple thousand years, especially since 2001. I didn't, however, care much about the message that faith is simply a choice, and not altered by inconsistencies in the bible or otherwise. While I can appreciate this idea, I just don't care, and I don't think religion, Jesus, and Mary Magdeline, are particularly interesting subjects. I thought it was kind of interesting - the idea that Jesus and Mary Magdeline were married and had kids, but, at least in the movie, that excitement was brief, and couldn't carry it. It seemed like it tried desperately to do other things to make it interesting. For example, there were murders, phobias, dark pasts, treacherous acts, plot twists, secret identities, intricate puzzles, mysterious forces at work, high drama, I mean they really tried to throw in everything under the sun, but if you only find the main premise mildly interesting, then all these elements fail. \n\nAlso, the idea that the blood line had survived, was not exciting to me, but probably mostly because I'm an athiest, so being a relative of Jesus' really becomes meaningless.

Great. \nHe portrayed the part well. He did his best to detach himself from passion or emotion and yet, he fell in love with the woman who betrayed him in the end.\n\nI loved the whole movie.

There are so many that I have seen, Schindler's List, I am Sam, Hotel Rwanda. These are Wonderful, but VERY emotional stories. I haven't seen Passion of Christ yet, but that would probably be number one on my list.

i agree with everything that jerik f said. the film is based on a book of fiction with some reasonable .what if..' theories...and it is a great film, in my opinion - but - everyone is entitled to theirs.....\nand no, Christian people shouldn't oppose it, if anything the film encourages a healthy debate on the subject doesn't it?  and the one thing that Christian people like to do is talk about their religion, don't they?

It was pretty good...it was a good story, but got a little slow in parts.  I enjoyed it though, the French guy in it is a fabulous actor, you really hated him.  I love a good villain.\nI think it was worth the watch...I'd watch it again.

All the "critics" against "The Passion of the Christ" NEVER VIEWED THE FILM.  Is not the criticizing of a “something” without thorough exposure and knowledge of its inner workings a complete and total HYPOCRISY?  Absolutely.  These critics possessed a “PRESUPPOSED BIAS”, which became their dishonest strategic primary driving force against the film, having the deviant political agenda to thwart its success, popularity and acceptance on the entirely fabricated claims of anti-Semitism.  Why, you ask?  Because the proponents against “The Passion of the Christ” are, in fact, ANTI-CHRISTIAN.  Yet, no anti-Semitism could even be remotely detected throughout Mel Gibson’s entire film.  In the post-film release, did the horrible anti-Semitic riots by Christians around the planet materialize against the Jews, and their Synagogues were they violently bombed and completely burned down to the ground as all the critics, FANNING THE FLAMES OF FEAR, claimed would happen?  NO!  Not even close.\n\nMuch to the disappointed chagrin of the critics, “The Passion” was a global blockbuster never before seen, and it broke all previous theater film attendance records.  So powerful was this film that theater goers reported actual Supernatural personal healings, miracles and Divine encounters after viewing this Cinematography Masterpiece, literally a three-dimensional Rembrandt.  It clearly revealed a hunger for this genre of film entertainment, but Hollywood, traditionally anti-Christian, would prefer to continue producing directionless film properties of lesser pursuits that are barely able to make the bottom line, if even that, because these films promote their corrupt values that are completely diametric to the principled values of most Americans, those who would prefer to see more films like “The Passion”.

I've seen the trailer; it looks like they tried really hard to make it look authentic and to express the emotions Mary and Joseph felt.  There probably won't be nearly as much violence as there was in the Passion of the Christ, and it's all spoken in English.

I saw it. And I liked it very much.\n\nThe movie was a very good representation of the book.\n\nBooks always have more background and more details.\n\nSome things were changed or deleted, to keep\nthe story moving, but all-in-all my wife and\nI thought the movie exceeded the expectations\nwe had about what the movie could have been.\n\nBravo!!

Yes I saw it, and i loved it, if you like Almodovar's films you'll probably like this one too. However there are some pretty controversial story lines in this film that include drug use, homosexuality, pedophilia,  as well as a somewhat graphic sex scene between a trans gender woman and a man, so if you are on the conservative side or are sensitive to this sort of thing I would suggest you skip it because you are probably not going to enjoy it. Needless to say it is not appropriate for children or maybe even adolescents. \nOther that that the story is carefully constructed and the acting is superb, it will keep you guessing all the way to the end.

I think it was one of the best movies I've seen in a long time.  I like the portrayal of stereotypes, and how, even if they may unfortunately be correct sometimes, each individual's character is so much more deeper than that.  I also enjoyed how everything tied together at the end.  Truly a must see movie!
