*****I'm old enough that I took four years of latin in high school -
That's
the only reason I was considering attending the movie initially****


To Gibson's credit, the Latin didn't ever bother me. Usually I find that
sub-titles destroy a film, but in this case the action on screen is so
compelling that you just don't notice them.

Unfortunately, the action is so barbaric that I nearly barfed. (Example: A
ten minute scene with Jesus being whipped -- nearly to death -- with
fishhook-laden whips. If you want to see a human have his skin torn off in
slow, graphic detail -- front AND back -- this is the movie for you.)
