I got back from the matinee showing about an hour ago...I was moved.
You all know that I am a Christian. I went into this movie very excited about it, not just because it was about Christ, but because I heard some amazing reviews about it. I also wanted to see what all the hype was about.
Active's post was right, the two most violent scenes are his flogging and when you actually saw his hand being nailed to the cross. Plus one of the other men being executed got his eye pecked out by a crow. that was pretty sweet but not too graphic. They did a great job depicting the suffering Christ went through during his flogging. They also did a cool job showing the blood and water come out of Jesus' side after he got speared.
Satan also had an interesting look to her. The evil spirits were pretty cool too.
Pretty much, i'm terrible at reviews. Maybe someone else should do a review of it and i'll just add a few things. Either way, I plan on seeing this movie again and I definetly think you should go check 'er out.
also, after the showing reporters and photographers were standing outside waiting for us to come out...kinda weird, but i might be in the paper tommorrow so thats cool
