I finally saw the film last night and I'm not sure what to think of it. I liked it and I didn't. I thought the film was visually gorgeous...I loved the score...the acting was great. I guess it was directed at Christans more than I had hoped it would be. I know, everyone would say to that, "no sh#t!" I'm not a Christan, but I do believe Jesus exsisted and that he was a great man. I guess I was just hoping for a film that would appeal to everyone of all beliefs. I also didn't really like the fact that it isn't a film that can just stand on it's own. If you are someone who doesn't know much about the story of Christ, you'll probably be a little confused. You never even hear the names of some of the characters.
PS - If you happen to live in the Los Angeles area and you haven't seen it yet, go see while it's still playing in the Cinerama Dome at the Arclight...what a great theater!!
