Well, I saw the movie. It was okay.
I came away with the impression though, that if I tried to judge the movie objectively (forgetting that it's about Jesus and all), that it really wasn't a very good movie. I mean, really, do we need 30 minutes of him being caned and scourged, and then 40 minutes of him carrying a couple logs and falling over every 3 minutes?
(I half expect to be hit by lightning from on high after typing that...)
Also, about the whipping/scourge scene: I've never witnessed anything like it personally, but judging by the look of the 'tools' they were using, and the length of time the scene lasted (as well as how much the soldiers seemed to get into it), I expected much more bone to show. It was still gruesome, but after all that I'd expect to see more than a little peek at three ribs.
Also, you learn something every day: Jesus invented tables. :lol:
