    Well made! Didn`t have to be so overly-gory though!

    This movie was so moving, and so beautiful. Although some may argue that it is too gory, I believe it was necessary to use that much heartbreak and suffering in the film. If they hadn`t showed Jesus` suffering the way they had, the movie wouldn`t have had such an impact on its` viewers. This movie made me think about how Jesus didn`t have to go through all that suffering, but he did...for us. This movie made me want to be a better person, and I praise Mel Gibson for it.

    I thought it was an accurate, suitable version of a well known story. I did not feel the violence depicted was too much - those were harsh times and a violent event. Not really "entertaining" more of an experience. Mel Gibson provides us with a "class act" once again.

    Yes people believe that this did happen, I`m not one to say if it did or didn`t, however I believe that real or not, the graphic nature of what happened (Or didn`t happen) should not have been precieved through a movie for the world to see. Sometimes there are some things that people shouldn`t see. It does make you appriciate life, but there is definately an easier, less hurtful way to do so.

    This was an excellent portrayal of the final hours of Christ`s suffering. Yes, it was difficult to watch - that was the point. We were meant to suffer while watching. I am thankful that Mel Gibson made this film, which does not blame the Jews for Jesus` crucifixion, but blames us all - He died for the sins of all of us. I give this film five stars.

    I`ve never liked Mel Gibson or his work. After seeing this movie, I STILL don`t like him or his work.

    I liked the movie...at first. But then came the scene where he was beaten. It didn`t have to last that long. I was mad, I couldn`t take it anymore. If it were to have lasted one more minute it would of made me leave.

    They could have made their point in a 10 minute bio pic.
