The thing is that in real life Jesus suffer more than 3 hrs. And He did it because He loves the humanity and He wants to save us!!! I love this movie, remembers me the sacrifice He did, for love!!!! ;-)

Not a bad movie at all, yes he is carrying the cross almost half the movie, but all the flash back made it really good. 8.5 / 10

Bad movie. Overly sentimental, too gory for its purpose and lacking in story (or explanation of the story).

Sure it was gory, sure it was drawn out, but that's what really happened to Jesus, if not worse. This isn't a movie just trying to make money and show us a good story, it's a movie that shows us the true horror and brutality of what really happened, and it's very effective.

You guys are damn right. Just because Jesus suffered for a couple of days doesn't mean I should suffer for three hours long

If I wasn't over-familliar with the story of Christ's death, I would have no clue about what was going on. It is weakly told and is structual bad. The acting is so over the top that I found myself laughing often. The phasing is all over the place and the flashbacks amounts to little in the long run.

The only redeemable thing I found about the movie was the make up (Satan has a really interesting design that capture the feeling of both man and woman) and the make up on christ at the cross was good, especially if you are familliar with different paintings of the event.

Sometimes genius, sometimes far from it.

-The Mary stuff is really transcendent and terrific. She's the heart of the movie in so many ways, which makes sense, given the theological background this particular interpretation is steeped in.

-The Satan stuff rarely, if ever, works. (It almost works for the suicide.)

-The flashbacks are especially effective and I wish they were utilized even more. They provide necessary context for the passion elements without leading to exposition heavy stuff. They also help us relate to the Man of Sorrows - his life wasn't always this. There were joes and smiles and lessons that none of them could understand at the time. Also, the editing is at its best in these sequences.

-The torture stuff is hard to watch. I don't know if it's always necessary but it did elicit a lot of "STOP"s from me being yelled at the television. And the crucifixion brought hearty crying from me.

-The actor who plays John is quite good (even with essentially no lines!)

-I don't know if the wall-to-wall music is effective. It ends up being more distracting than helpful.

Glad I saw it. "Gospel According to St. Matthew" is still better.

So Jesus gets beat up for half an hour and then half of the movie we see him walking carrying the cross and falling over a bunch of times. Huge disappointment.
