Movie Review | 'The Passion of the Christ': Good and Evil Locked in Violent Showdown

Movie Review | 'The Passion of the Christ': Good and Evil Locked in Violent Showdown

Ahh, it begins. These reviews by self-proclaimed experts in cinematography will continue to find fault by puffing up their reputations.

True, the film should be judged on its cinematic qualities, but where is the recognition of the truth of the Gospel account? The secular Hollywood critics will likely downplay the artistic value of Gibson's production, but if Gibson truly is motivated by the love of Christ and faithfulness to the Scripture, the people will be the final judge of this film. The critics will not prevail.

Assuming the film is financially successful, Gibson is faced with the dilemma of what to do with the profits. If he remains true to his passion, I'd guess he'll give them to charity. He certainly doesn't need the money. Let's see how this plays out.
