    It is a magnificent movie that will be remembered for ages, like The 10 Commandments, despite being violent as it is supposed bo be. It was very gutsy of Mel Gibson to do this despite all adversities. It shows how firmly rooted he is in is in his faith. For those in doubt about the movie because of so many write-ups, pros and cons, just go and see the movie and decide f or yourself, you have free will and intelligence. But be warned that this is not like entertainment movies. It is a first of its kind.

    I`m a Catholic that was educated in Catholic Schools. Not once was I ever told anything bad about Jews or other relgions. Apart from Christianity, I was educated about Judaism and Islam. I was told to respect all religions and all Prophets of God. This film shows us what a true Christian must be, FORGIVING, LOVING, and NON JUDGING. My parents, my teachers and my priest did a good job in teaching me this since not once have I badmouthed another religion. I`ve gone to cynagogue and mosques and prayed along other faiths. God is one and Jesus was comdemmed by evil, not god loving people. Everyone should give this movie a chance. Go see it, feel

    I`m sorry, where was the "love" and "spirituality" most of you are refering to? Maybe by "love" you mean "buckets full of blood" and by "spirituality" you mean "torn flesh". As a film I was profoundly disappointed by The Passion of The Christ, the whole "Jesus died and suffered for all of us" was not backed up by any story line at all, all we saw was a man being tortured beyond belief with no apparent reason why. I guess you had to be a Christian to fill in the glaring holes which makes this nothing more than Mel Gibson preaching to the converted. I read one review that refered to the movie as "fundalmetalist pornography" and to be honest, I

    This opened my eyes to religion. I`m 19 years old and all I see is how messed up this world has become. Sex, Drugs, Viloance are all around me, everywhere I go these days. I`ve not learn much about religion and I don`t pray. I needed this film to give me hope because at 19 I`m depressed and lost. This movie is AWSOME. Last night I was on the net for hours after seeing the movie trying to learn about Jesus. I cried and cried and as a guy I`m not suppose to do this. I feel like a change person and I`ve made my first call to a drug rehab and I will become a better person. Thanks Mel your film gave me hope of a better life.

    The movie definitely portrays exactly how and why Jesus had suffered for us. The movie touched my heart and reminded me of the trials and tribulations we are expected to experience in life. Thank you.

    Was very touching.. Makes you really think about the eveils that humans can do to someone else.. makes you think about the evils we have done in our own lives to others.. very humbling.. The brutality is angering although it is a depiction of the truth therefore I forced myself to endure the sights I was seeing.. it was the least I could do

    Two hours of unending brutality. So much brutality that the `shock value` of it becomes tedious rather than eye opening. Christ`s life and death was so much more than just the brutality of what he endured those last 12 hours. The resurrection could have been showcased more, as without that, the crucifixion is nothing more than brutality.
