Passion of the christ Options

Alright, so this movie's heyday may have passed, but the thought just came to be. Why was "The Passion of the Christ" considered such a good movie? Was it because it revolved around Jesus's life and such?

Although i'm sure Jesus' life and death is the epitome of intresting, the movie honestly was not that great. It performed a quick overview of Jesus' life, wasn't exactly beatifully written or acted, and I just wasn't feeling the character relationships. The only scene that stands out is the "Jesus getting beat" scene which took the whole concept of showing Jesus' sacrafice and pain one step too far.

Every other scene felt forced, only there because a Jesus film has gotta have it. You never did get a deeper view into who Jesus really was.

I think this film only did so well because it was a monopoly when it comes to modern Jesus films. You'd think our "savior's" story would be more deserving of a better movie, but if this is all people are givin they'll take it and go as far as to call it "good".




Note to mods/admins: Before you let that overwhelming urge to move this to "entertainment" because its a movie, keep in mind that this topic strives to serve as a discussion on why the "The Passion of the Christ" should/shouldn't be considered a good movie.
