Well seems most at Rotten Tomatoes thought it was awful. I don't have a problem with the religious aspects of the film, it's the story telling I thought was very weak. Glad you liked it, I guess you like seeing someone get whipped for 2 hours with little else to speak of.

Well, I didn't see someone get whipped for 2 hours. I will rent the movie when it comes out but my guess is that the whipping scene lasted for about 10 min. That aside the story is the story. What did you want UFO's and Matrix like effects? It was the last 12 hours of Jesus' life. If the story is that he was whipped and beaten a lot in those last 12 hours then that's what the movie should show. As far as what other people think I don't care. My wife and I liked it and thought it was very moving. I don't recall another movie that I have seen where many people in the audience were crying. Someone liked it. It's now the 7th best selling movie of all time.
Of course, quite a few Christians are closet S&M freaks, so Mel does know his audience. ;^)AuPh
