Plot Story : Mel Gibson's well-publicized production The Passion of the Christ concerns the last 12 hours in the life of Jesus of Nazareth. The dialogue is spoken in the ancient Aramaic language, along with Latin and Hebrew. In the Garden of Gethsemane near the Mount of Olives, Jesus (James Caviezel) is betrayed by Judas Iscariot (Luca Lionello). Jesus is condemned to death for blasphemy and brought before Pontius Pilate (Hristo Naumov Shopov), the Roman governor of Judea, for sentencing. The roaring crowd demand his death, so Pilate orders his crucifixion. Jesus is severely beaten and made to carry his cross up to Golgotha, the hill outside Jerusalem, where he is nailed to the cross. Romanian theatrical actress Maia Morgenstern plays Mary, Mother of God, and Italian superstar Monica Bellucci plays Mary Magdalene. Amid much controversy involving Gibson and various religious organizations, The Passion of the Christ received an international theatrical release in February of 2004. In March 2005, Gibson released an unrated version of the film, dubbed The Passion Recut, that eliminated five to six minutes of the more graphic scenes of flogging and crucifixion. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

Review For Movie The Passion of the Christ
If I were a Christian, I'd be appalled to have this primitive and pornographic bloodbath presume to speak for me.Jonathan Rosenbaum-Chicago Reader
A negative and spiritually underwhelming experience.
Wally Hammond-Time Out
[Gibson's] film, virtually stripped of Jesus's incandescent views, is little more that a record of one of the thousands of barbarities committed by the Romans in Judea.
Stanley Kauffmann-The New Republic
Mr. Gibson has gone to a lot of sweat and expense to make a movie that doesn't say much of anything new.
Rex Reed-New York Observer
Whereas the words say love, love, love, the sounds and images say hate, hate, hate.
Andrew Sarris-New York Observer
Puts us in a situation where we can't help but feel Jesus's pain. If only Gibson had taken the time to tell more of us why it mattered.
Michael O'Sullivan-Washington Post
Extremely violent, and powerful; for mature teens.
Nell Minow-Common Sense Media
Gibson's passion is all over this film...but his resorting to mawkish, superficial tactics blows the tone off-course from time to time.
Jay Antani-Cinema Writer
With a passionate zeal and the budget to back it, Mel Gibson has created a religious epic which is equally unique, inspirational, and repellent.
Matthew Pejkovic-Matt's Movie Reviews
The film's lack of discretion robs the viewer of his or own conception of Christ's crucifixion. It is an exploitative disservice to "the greatest story ever told," that reduces that illustrious narrative to an extended torture episode.
Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com
It's a shame there isn't a good movie deep down in this excuse for gore and sadism.
Felix Vasquez Jr.-Cinema Crazed
All [Gibson has] done...is to trade in the Hollywood conventions of yesteryear for the crasser, more bloodthirsty conventions of today.
Thomas Peyser-Style Weekly (Richmond, VA)
I emerged from The Passion of the Christ depressed and spiritually bruised.
Philip French-Observer [UK]
More sensational than spiritual, this blood-soaked take on the Stations of the Cross retells the Gospels as a horror movie. You can't help asking: where has all the love gone?
Jamie Russell-Film4
For a filmmaker who wants to create an adaptation of the story of Jesus, Mel Gibson's motives seem ironically impure.
Joe Lozito-Big Picture Big Sound
Easily the most controversial film of the year, Gibson's fil is a visually bold, relentlessly violent epos that suffers from a shallow, undernourished narrative and no characterizations to speak of.
Emanuel Levy-EmanuelLevy.Com
By giving us the feeling of experiencing Jesus' thoughts, and by making us privy to his prayers, The Passion draws us toward Christ's full humanity like no film before.
Peter T. Chattaway-Christianity Today
Mr. Gibson has plucked at the rawest of nerves yet I cannot blame him. He is expressing himself through the medium of film and using the text of his bible as the basis.
Jordan Hiller-Bangitout.com
Director Gibson tends toward populist impulses without much artistry or invention; he prefers bombardment to poetry.
Jeffrey M. Anderson-Combustible Celluloid
A tormented movie about torment; loopy, over-reaching and occasionally suspicious. Simultaneously, it is a daring artistic endeavour.
Ian Nathan-Empire Magazine
Incredibly intense, unflichingly realistic and powerfully moving...One of the all-time great cinematic achievements...God bless Mel Gibson.
Chuck O'Leary-Fantastica Daily
One of the best films of this middle-aged decade.
Bill Clark-FromTheBalcony
Sick.
Nick Schager-Lessons of Darkness
This most human of tales is sadly lacking humanity.
Garth Franklin-Dark Horizons
