... can be read both as a literal illustration of the story of Christ's suffering at the hands of the Roman... and an anti-authoritarian tract that questions the very assumptions of guilt and blame that many take for granted the film shares.March 18, 2004
[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.March 04, 2004
Mr. Gibson has gone to a lot of sweat and expense to make a movie that doesn't say much of anything new.March 05, 2008
If I were a Christian, I'd be appalled to have this primitive and pornographic bloodbath presume to speak for me.March 04, 2004
Whereas the words say love, love, love, the sounds and images say hate, hate, hate.August 24, 2010
Gibson's passion is all over this film...but his resorting to mawkish, superficial tactics blows the tone off-course from time to time.July 06, 2010
With a passionate zeal and the budget to back it, Mel Gibson has created a religious epic which is equally unique, inspirational, and repellent.December 28, 2010
Extremely violent, and powerful; for mature teens.January 17, 2016
Moving. Powerful. Epic. Beautiful.August 26, 2009
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.February 09, 2006
A negative and spiritually underwhelming experience.February 27, 2004
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.
