No, and I donīt intend to. I saw the trailer. But still in The Bible there is no such thing as cruel sadistic Romans, and that is the biggest part of the film if I understood it well.
My son saw it, he was disgusted.
Follow Ups:
just saw the trailer that the power hungry religious people dole out on the unsuspecting and easily duped.If there was a God - he she it would not be a simplistic impatient dullard that the Christian power hierarchy make him out to be. Basic logic should rule out the Christian(and all other religious) versions of the Creator. But it's easier to ignore logic and just buy into doctrine. My sermon has endeth...and if it's annoying to you - well now you know how the athiests/agnotics feel listening to the endless religious tripe with a one shred of unbiased relevant fact to support their versions of God. But hey it's good that people control the population with wars over such silly beliefs.
Play Black Sabbath at 78. Grand Funk has also been noted to work.
Somehow I thought the lesser lights would take this debate to the religious side. It's unfortunate, I really only wanted to rate the film as, well, a film.
Sorry this was not to you but others are attacking the film based on it's credibility versus the bible like the Bible was some sort of truth?It's ridiculous to argue a historical film's accuracy - there is no such thing. SO long as any interpretation of history is reasonable and the main points are correct then that's a fine interpretation. Anyone who gets history SOLELY from a film is a Wanker - or throws the entire film out over minutae is an even bigger Wanker.
Unlike some other posters on the forum I am not going to poo-poo Mel Gibson's work without seeing it. Presumably it's a pretty fair film and has not taken wrath from either side of the religious folks - well some of course.
A religious film should generate discussion on religion. Contact did despite some flaws. If that film was correct that there are only 5% of Americans who are NOT "religious" then frankly it is worrisome. No wonder there is so much consumerism and wars. You can lead a sheep anywhere - even over a cliff.
So whiping and nailing someone to a cross is not cruel and sadistic? By the way I said my wife and I liked the movie. I didn't say it was or was not accurate.
Did I said so? Yes in fact you said nothing.

What's your point in reverting to a different language? Do you snicker after writing it?
"Tee hee, they'll never know what I'm talking about."
I was just philosophinzing about the profound meaning of " Independance Day, " then I must have lost my head...
Sorry,
Stand by me in the future, Thank you!
I now recall you saying you wouldn't see it. It is such a social phenomena you should see it. Decide for yourself. You will see what you want to see: rorschach city.
I donīt think I will,because I am still fed up with " Braveheart " and I saw previews and what I saw was what I expected.... but you are right I should see it as such.
Dvd will have a director version, till then maybe..
The level of violence in this movie puts Braveheart to shame. Picture Braveheart as one big fighting scene that goes on for two hours and you'll have an acurate description.By the way, I didn't mind Braveheart.
Neither did I...It was a present from Amazon.com....
