Though I think there is nothing really all that outrageous about the movie. We've had other movies already about Jesus' life and way he died. I remember well the old version called King Of Kings from 1961. They often show it for Easter on TV, and I think it's quite an impressive movie also, it's probably just half as realistic concerning the suffering Jesus must have gone through. But who knows what it was really like? Nobody of our time's been there to see it.

By the way, there were two sentences in the movie that had the greatest impression on me:

- If the world hates you, remember that it has hated me first.
- For if you love only those who love you, what reward is there in that?

I think the movie arises interest in the Bible, and maybe it's gonna influence some people to have greater belief in it again. I've always thought about reading the Bible from page 1 to, uhm, dunno how many pages. If I weren't too lazy this movie would make me read it finally. I guess some will actually read it after having watched this movie to make up their minds.

Another thing I thought I'd mention was - I think King Herod seemed pretty gay in that movie. I don't know whether he was gay, but he seemed gay in the movie, that's for sure. Maybe he was just simply misplaced, or Mel Gibson felt Herod had to be ridiculed. I thought King Herod was a pretty disturbing character within the movie.

So, that's it. I don't think I'll ever watch this movie again. Not because I didn't like it or because I thought it was wrong. The reason simply is that I couldn't bear watching the real-time scenes again. It's enough having watched it once. I don't need it twice. And yes, I do think the movie was hyped a lot, and Jews demonstrating against the movie sure won't make it better, because it arises even more interest and attention.

Rating - 8/10

And finally I can read all the reviews of other people.
