Saw The Passion of the Christ yesterday . . .very, very sub-par movie, IMHO.

MG seems to have invested the whole movie on gore, not on the story it could have told. Almost nothing of the life and doings of Jesus is presented, relying mostly on the audience knowledge of the story to set this movie apart from any other gore-type movie.
I mean, I don’t mind blood as long as there is a plot behind it (alas Saving Private Ryan for example), but the Passion had only blood . . .the audience had to provide the plot.

If you change the name of Jesus to Bob, and the location to the Amazon, this whole movie could have just been a scene out of “Cannibal Holocaust”.

So, IMHO, this movie sucks . . .however, it made a lot of money for Mel Gibson. :-)
