Review of The Passion of the Christ (2004) by Melanie D — 28 Jan 2013
Nothing but a guy getting a healthy beatdown against a very serene old world backdrop. I was hoping to bare witness to some dandy miracles and to discover what all the hubbub regarding this Jesus fella's all about, to find faith in The Lord, to see the ultimate rock star part some seas and whatnot.
But boy was I silly nilly! What I did get though, was a very well shot YouTube video of some guy getting his arse handed to him on a silver platter for 2 hours. Maybe that tear at the end was my spiritual salvation however, because it signaled I could finally stop MY pain and suffering of watching this gratuitous baffoonery and get the hell on with my life again.
Whew! Yes Lawd! And somebody please get this guy a band-aid already, would ya? Disappointing on all fronts and no more of a "religious experience" than a busy day of cow tipping and playing a few rounds of capture the flag.
