I saw it tonight. Honestly, the book is so much better and I'm not saying that to be funny or flip. I'm just not sure it's that good of a movie. Go, decide for yourself. It's very Roman Catholic(features Mary and Satan FAR beyond the Biblical account), which shouldn't be a surprise. It has some 'Twin Peaks' kind of moments where you'll say to yourself, "What's that about?"

I know you said you were not trying to be funny, but I started laughing as soon as you said the "book is so much better".

I want to see an honest review from an unbiased person. In other words, a review from someone who is not a lefty or religious.

I saw the movie tonight- sold out 3 theatres both 7 and 10pm. Movie was awesome- very intense, very emotional.I am Catholic -don't know if this is why it seems the way I imagined (only more brutal)I said to my husband "What's with the star wars characters?" so I see what you meant about "twin peaks" moments.Would like to have had seen more flashbacks of the intimate moments with Apostles and get to know each one and their importance to Him- rather than spend so much time with weasels that were beating Him.The Church ladies gave out kleenex packets and we used them up!

I don't believe it is VERY Roman Catholic.. I believe it is VERY Christian. - and very true to scripture as well as the common capital punishment of crucifixion. I don't know of any of the Christian groups that feel the supernatural & evil presence & significance of Mary at the cross is irrelevant/negligible.

Christ was surrounded by evil his entire earthly life.

This is a spiritual movie... if we understand scripture we understand that we are spirits (souls, if you will) that for NOW have bodies.

I am so Glad Mel had the courage to do this..

Did anyone see his interview with O'Riely last night? He admitted to some "artistic liberty"... which in no way changes the overall impact & veracity.

Glenn Beck yesterday mentioned that Mel had two cameos..

One : it was his hand that held the nail.

Two: His voice at Judas suicide
