Summary: The Passion of The Christ focusses on the last twelve hours of Jesus of Nazareth's life. The film begins in the Garden of Gethsemane where Jesus has gone to pray after sitting the Last Supper. Jesus must resist the temptations of Satan. Betrayed by Judas Iscariot, Jesus is then arrested and taken within the city walls of Jerusalem where leaders of the Pharisees confront him with accusations of blasphemy and his trial results in a condemnation to death.

A good representation, Gibson sure had some nerve to go and make this. Luckily the result is a good one which depicts the events of the Bible very thoughtfully.
To quote South Park: Say what you want about Mel Gibson, but the son of a bitch knows story structure! A movie about Jesus that begins with a "based on a true story" sign, doesn't get a lot of initial goodwill from my side. That said the movie is an extremely well executed and beautifully shot Jezploitation flick, even though it's a bit difficult to take it serious when the blood splatters all around and the poor jesus fall YET AGAIN, head first and in slowmotion, walking up Golgotha .
Okay, so technically I've not seen all of The Passion, but I don't really imagine that I would enjoy the parts that I didn't see. Take away Jesus from this movie and all you've got is two hours of a dude being beaten to comedic levels. The only reason The Passion did so well is because of the controversy.
Gibson mounts a convincing crucifixion, but his victim is the audience. The Passion of the Christ aims its metallic cat-o'-nine-tails at the viewers' nerves.
i have fallen asleep 3 times attempting to watch this movie
then when I finally managed to stay awake, I was sad to find out the movie was just Religious torture porn
a.k.a. Jesus Movie, Passion is definitely a well-done movie. Sadly, Passion focuses more on the bloodshed of Jesus that actually showing the good Jesus did.
