I thought I was the only one who didn't fawn over it. I found it very boring and the fact that it left out the resurrection really bothered me.

Your accusation is indeed of a factual nature; that is to say it can be proven true or false.

The proof of the matter lies in actually watching the film ... should you ever do so, you will find your accusation proven to be ...

FALSE!!!

Wow three of us. I found the directing pretty heavy handed and boring, everything kept grinding to a halt for various Deep Symbolic Moments (tm).

Huh. Did it really leave out the ressurection? I cannot remember.

For sometime now I have begun to see the Passion of the Christ as a movie made from the context of Mel Gibson's near prurient interest in matters related to blood and brutality. Think about it, apart from his commecial box office movies, i.e., Lethal Weapon, What Women Want, etc., all his movies have all nearly been devoted to blood and brutality.

The resurrection scenes at the end of the movie were the most powerful part of the movie.

You ought to watch it again.

Not that the resurrection was the main focus of the movie, I don't believe the resurrection was left out of the movie.
The movie portrayed a living Jesus at the end.
