DVD Reviews of The Passion of the Christ (Full Screen Edition)DVD Review: Very good sci fi / fantasy flick Summary: 4 StarsHeld off seeing this but after I saw Gibson's Apocalypto and liked it thought I'd check this out. After seeing it I can't say that he really believes in this stuff or takes it seriously ( especially after his present divorce / girlfriend stuff) Anyway i thought it was a great horror flick...scary and spooky. No wonder why the jesus freaks are so scared of everything! The torture does get a tired after a while. Gibson is a sick puppy , lol

DVD Review: Pointless gorefest intended to please only the sadists out there. Summary: 1 StarsI watched this movie after it was pushed on me on by church members, I have never seen such a pointlessly violent movie. Jesus's life wasn't supposed to be about violence, why focus on it so much? I'm not trying to be picky or anything but (with some non-notable exceptions) EVERYTHING was simply someone getting beat up. What is the lesson? How is this supposed to be conducive to anything good?
This movie says more to me about its sadisticly demented creators then anything to do with the life of Jesus.
DVD Review: Great movie! Summary: 5 StarsThis is really one of the greatest movies I've ever seen. Just like John Paul "The Great" said when he watched it: "This movie is how it happened".
Description of The Passion of the Christ (Full Screen Edition)The Passion of the Christ focuses on the last twelve hours of Jesus of Nazareth's life. The film begins in the Garden of Olives where Jesus has gone to pray after the Last Supper. Jesus must resist the temptations of Satan. Betrayed by Judas Iscariot, Jesus is then arrested and taken within the city walls of Jerusalem where leaders of the Pharisees confront him with accusations of blasphemy and his trial results in a condemnation to death. After all the controversy and rigorous debate has subsided, Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ will remain a force to be reckoned with. In the final analysis, "Gibson's Folly" is an act of personal bravery and commitment on the part of its director, who self-financed this $25-30 million production to preserve his artistic goal of creating the Passion of Christ ("Passion" in this context meaning "suffering") as a quite literal, in-your-face interpretation of the final 12 hours in the life of Jesus, scripted almost directly from the gospels (and spoken in Aramaic and Latin with a relative minimum of subtitles) and presented as a relentless, 126-minute ordeal of torture and crucifixion. For Christians and non-Christians alike, this film does not "entertain," and it's not a film that one can "like" or "dislike" in any conventional sense. (It is also emphatically not a film for children or the weak of heart.) Rather, The Passion is a cinematic experience that serves an almost singular purpose: to show the scourging and death of Jesus Christ in such horrifically graphic detail (with Gibson's own hand pounding the nails in the cross) that even non-believers may feel a twinge of sorrow and culpability in witnessing the final moments of the Son of God, played by Jim Caviezel in a performance that's not so much acting as a willful act of submission, so intense that some will weep not only for Christ, but for Caviezel's unparalleled test of endurance. Leave it to the intelligentsia to debate the film's alleged anti-Semitic slant; if one judges what is on the screen (so gloriously served by John Debney's score and Caleb Deschanel's cinematography), there is fuel for debate but no obvious malice aforethought; the Jews under Caiaphas are just as guilty as the barbaric Romans who carry out the execution, especially after Gibson excised (from the subtitles, if not the soundtrack) the film's most controversial line of dialogue. If one accepts that Gibson's intentions are sincere, The Passion can be accepted for what it is: a grueling, straightforward (some might say unimaginative) and extremely violent depiction of the Passion, guaranteed to render devout Christians speechless while it intensifies their faith. Non-believers are likely to take a more dispassionate view, and some may resort to ridicule. But one thing remains undebatable: with The Passion of the Christ, Gibson put his money where his mouth is. You can praise or damn him all you want, but you've got to admire his chutzpah. --Jeff Shannon
