I urge everyone to see "The Passion of the Christ" ONCE. Having said that, I don't think I could see it again until perhaps I own it on DVD. More than any film I have EVER seen (and I've seen thousands) this film drained me totally and I could barely get up and walk out of the cinema after the end credits started to roll. It is an awesome, harrowingly realistic work of cinematic art that is made all the more relevant by subject matter - the ultimate sacrifice for all of mankind.
Most of those who have gone to see the film recently have likely been motivated by curiousity. I appeal here not to the curious (you'll likely go anyway) but to everyone else. Go to see this film and take your children (as long as they are over 11 yrs) so that you can experience a film like you may never again have the chance to experience.
Finally, for those who complain of violence, the graphic suffering of Christ pales in comparison to several other violent films that have screened recently (Kill Bill being a particularly appropriate example). The reason people find complain about it being violent, lies in the mastery of the film - its ability to portray suffering in a totally believable manner.
A 10 out of 10!
