I'm an agnostic and have not been to church since I was a teenager so I didn't watch this movie for a "religious" experience. This is a great movie. It grabs you from the beginning and doesn't let you go. I like to be immersed in a film from beginning to end and not be aware of the fact that I am actually watching a movie. The Passion did that for me. The central point of this movie is to portray the magnitude of the suffering and sacrifice that Jesus willingly went through as a man (not a god or myth). My favorite scene in the movie is when Mary watches Jesus fall while carrying the cross and then there's a flashback to a scene of Jesus as a toddler falling while walking up some stairs. It was brilliant. It demonstrated in a gripping, emotional way that Jesus was suffering as a man both emotionally and physically.
This movie was as anti-Semitic as it was anti-Roman. These claims of anti-Semitism reminded me of the hue and cry over Pearl Harbor by some Asian groups. Sorry, but Japan did attack Pearl Harbor. Likewise, the Jews did have Jesus crucified.
Some these reviews pretend that this movie is mindless violence with no story. The violence is intense, but it's an integral part of the story just as it was in Saving Private Ryan. It's obvious that many reviewers intended not to like the movie from the get-go due to it's have a religious focus and not throwing in some tarnishing/controversial scenes like The Last Temptation did. It shouldn't be a sin to make a religious movie without pandering to some leftist agenda.
