Has anyone here actually seen Passion of the Christ, and is it actually good?

Since the sequel is coming out soon, figured I'd check out the first one.

Mel made it. Of course it's good, stupid.

It was exactly what it set out to be: an indictment of the Jews.

Great, but a tough watch. If you want to spend 2 hours watching a dirty Arab get beaten and killed by Jews, fly to Israel.

It’s great. Mel Gibson is horribly underrated as an actor and director

Does he act in it too?

No. I’m just a huge fan of his acting. His direction is great tho. I watched it in the theater as an atheist and cried a little

Gibson's feet appear wearing sandals in the background during a scene when Mary Magdalene reaches out for Jesus.

Painfully good.

I love Jew on Jew violence facilitated by a greasy Italians, so I'm bias.

If you've seen Qaddafi dragged through the Libyan streets you've seen Passion of the christ.

Its great. All I took away from it though is Jews = bad and Jesus can really take a punch.

They aired the crucifixion scene during confirmation classes in church and I was threatened with flunking the course if I laughed during it.

The one thing I remember being impressed by is they had somebody squirt some really great looking blood when they nailed him to the cross. Not even the film GAP had better prop blood.

It's genuinely good. You don't have to be Christian to enjoy it. Gibson is a genuinely talented guy. It's quite grueling though.

All you need to know about it is that Mel Gibson went through the entire production process to make a full-length feature film in the 21st century and didn’t let a single solitary Jew touch it.
