Mel Gibson gives life to the Catholic stations of the cross by capturing Jesus' death and suffering in a vivid and often difficult to watch way. Jim Caviezel gives a raw performance, but the real star is the historical reality and unflinching brutality that Gibson captures on screen. It's tough to watch, but emotionally captivating.

The crucifixion of Jesus stretched out into a movie. I personally didn't feel anything, because I am an atheist, but I must say that I've never seen this story presented this way and that in itself is something.

At least someone was closer to describing how Christ suffered for us. Very dejecting movie.

I believe it is a work of fiction, but a good one. Kudos to Gibson for making the movie he wanted to make.

No, I can't watch this movie over and over, but this was one of the best films about the life and crucifixion of Jesus Christ on the cross. What struck me most about this movie was the hype. It wasn't incredible, but it did attach itself to my emotional core and yanked it out. Satan was insane in this, eh?

"ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES" .... This is pretty much the ultimate litmus test of the entire production. I am so tempted to go deep in analytical argument but I refuse to. I am merely doing a movie review. When it comes to a bible-based movie, one thing needs to be considered extremely important: HISTORICITY. And I would say it was quite accurate. Every conscientious Bible student should do an in-depth dissertation of this film as a pre-requisite to graduation. The concepts of vicarious sacrifice, atonement, and Christ's complete humanity have been successfully portrayed.
