I dont know what all the hype is its actually a poor movie I think.
zBlood and Gore? theres more in the first starship troopers than this...
It was fair as a documentary slant would go though. fairly accurate account. Bu tnot a life changing movie. If your life changes over this then your a easy target as is I bet.
Yeah---- Im over religion and its "power" over the masses, I question everything.

I think people who say the movie was life-changing are likely those not familiar or only slightly familiar with the story. I found it to be an OK movie and a fair representation of the gospel but the only thing that had changed in my life upon exiting the theater is that I was 2 hours older
I took my grandmother and 2 of my great-aunts (all in their mid 80's) to see it and afterwards their comments were mostly about being impressed with the great lengths taken to stay accurate with the Bible. They didn't seem to be adversly affected by the violence of the crucifiction because they all knew it was.
For those who still aren't going to watch The Passion because of the violence but would like to see a less graphic but still painstakingly accurate telling of the story of Jesus might be interested in

"JESUS" is a remarkable film, full of drama. The attention to biblical accuracy catapults you back into the life and time of Jesus Christ. You walk the same historical streets, you experience the same wonderful miracles, and you are touched by the power of God as you relive the most important events in the history of mankind.

They also have another film there, "The Story of Jesus for Children".
