Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

brett goucher It has been 14 years now, and this is my first review. After seeing it tonight in honor of Jesus' resurrection and Easter, I bump my rating from 8 to 9. I thought the film was far to brutal, and violent at first watch. I remember so many of my fellow church members were in utter shock. No one could speak. Many were bawling. It was almost as stunning to see the audience reaction, as it was to see the film. Thinking about it, and seeing it again makes me realize the brutality, and violence was a necessary cinematic theme. I mean Jesus was absorbing ALL of man's sins. The film was beautiful, and terrifying at the same time. That is quite an accomplishment by Gibson. Of course the beauty lies in the scenes between Jesus, and Mary, and Jesus and his disciples. The whole cast was excellent especially Morgenstern as Mary, and Caviezel as Jesus. As a Christian, I feel the film was wonderful, and quite devout. We need more Christian films like this, As a film lover, the film was excellent in nearly every respect

angellvr123 When I first saw this in the theatre. I took half a vacation day off work to see it. It is a masterpiece. Perfect in ever way. And the audience applauded at the end. There were some dumb dumbs outside the theatre telling us to boycott it. They got popcorn thrown at them. They were Lucky it was not rocks.

CinemaClown A powerfully moving, emotionally scarring & extremely harrowing portrait of the final hours of Jesus Christ's life, The Passion of the Christ is definitely not for the easily distressed. Counted amongst the most controversial works since its release, it is also one of the most graphically violent films ever made.The Passion of the Christ depicts the last 12 hours in the life of Jesus of Nazareth. The story begins with him being betrayed by one of his disciples that leads to his arrest, following which he's brought to trial where he's accused of blasphemy, and is eventually sentenced to death that's carried out by crucifixion.Directed by Mel Gibson, his creative eye for storytelling is no doubt impressive but the excessive barbarism on display here makes it an endlessly disturbing sit that's nearly impossible to forget. Leaving no stone unturned, Gibson delivers a biblical drama that isn't just brutal, merciless & unforgiving but also profoundly affecting.The storytelling is mostly through the visuals, and the decision to use era-specific, foreign languages instead of English gives the film an added sense of authenticity. Production design team puts up appropriate set pieces, bringing Jerusalem to life in splendid detail. And apart from its dialed-up cruelty & other little elements, it's quite faithful to its source of inspiration.Employing the camera in a controlled fashion, Cinematography makes effective use of slow-mo, close-ups & wisely chosen angles in order to provide maximum impact. Editing unfolds its 127 minutes runtime at a steady pace and though it's slow at first, it catches up real soon. And John Debney contributes with a fitting score that's able to evoke the right emotions.Coming to the performances, The Passion of the Christ features a fine cast in Jim Caviezel, Maia Morgenstern, Monica Bellucci, Hristo Zhivkov & others. Caviezel is thoroughly compelling in what's a physically demanding & emotionally draining input while Morgenstern is even better as Mary Magdalene, expressing the inner agony of a mother in a very precise & perceptible manner.On an overall scale, The Passion of the Christ is destined to polarise its audience but its visceral power & emotional impact cannot be denied. It's worth stressing again that this is going to be a very upsetting & distressing cinematic experience for every viewer, religious or not, and isn't recommended to those who are easily triggered. For me, The Passion of the Christ is one of the best films of its year and certainly one of Mel Gibson's finest. A unique & unforgettable experience.
