In 18 years as a professional movie critic, I've never gotten the response that I had this week to my one-star review of "The Passion of the Christ."
I knew the reaction would be hostile - movie critics routinely get hate mail, even one time for a review of "Bambi."
But, as they would say in an action movie of the kind Mel Gibson formerly made, this time, it's personal.

Whining, self-pity, narcissistic self importance, profound dishonesty, hystrionic deceit... This pathetic "critic" is obviously a rat party voter!

the movie has become a lightning rod for the anti-Semitic undercurrent that runs through society Nope, change anti-semitic with Christian and you would have it correct.

Yikes, I clicked on the link! Check out the photo of the critic!
Could someone post her delightful picture? It would explain a lot. I would post it but I am HTML dyslexic. That, and my screen cracked when her face showed up.

LOL! Now that you mention it, yes. ;)

What interests me as a movie critic is the profusion of people who do not understand or care how to evaluate a movie.The same comment could apply to some movie critics.
What a pretentious lass.

So those who think she's a blowhard are just not smart enough to "unstuff" her brilliantly "compressed file"?
Wonder what she had to say about Dirty Dancing 2. I'll bet she gave it a better review.

Sounds like this wimp, along with his lefty bretheren, got what he deserved for his self-aggrandizing yammering. If this suckhead was stupid enough to knowingly touch the third rail, he got what he deserved.

Notice the liberal tactic of equating "disagreement" with "hate."
Beyond pathetic.

This guy should try to look at why the two top movie reviewers ebert and roeper among many others thought it was an incredible 4 star movie and yet he thinks it was horrible.
Ebert is a non-religious guy, yet he raves about the movie. I would like to know how this guy can explain such rave reviews from non-christians when he thinks it is so obviously a bad movie. It seems to me that he is letting his bias come into his review. That is, by the way, why Ebert is so well respected for his reviews. He can overcome his bias for his reviews. Others like the reviewer above,think it is more important to score some political points than to give an honest review. That is why people get angry..
