Stating that isn't an 'attack on right wing Christian zealots'...It's stating a fact that the script was greatly lacking and was nothing but gallons of faked blood scenes. And because of the hype over it, the media frenzy, it still rakes in the sales. Because it's been advertised as a 'must see movie for the Christian' by Christian groups all over the country and world-wide.


Passion of Christ wasn't the first movie, nor will it be the last, that got huge sales with a lousy script. And anyone that's ever watched a Mel Gibson movie, knows he's into the lots of 'blood, gore, and meyhem' type of movie production.

Personally, I think he should have worked harder on the script and left the blood scenes to a minimum...Or at least made the blood scenes more realistic without using literally gallons lost in each second of the scenes where blood was present...

Instead of the head spewing gallons of pea soup, it was blood.
You might think it was a "horrible movie none-the-less", but the public disagrees with you...and the public isn't all "right wing Christian zealots"...

Critical reaction to The Passion of the Christ was mixed; per the website RottenTomatoes.com only 51 per cent of professional critics praised the film, yet 76 per cent of the viewers enjoyed it. Similarly, critics rate it B-minus, and Yahoo! users-viewers rate it B-plus. It has garnered a score of 7.2/10 stars on the Internet Movie Database, based on 58,515 user reviews.
That's FAR from "horrible"...and considering the fact that these public polls include anti-"right wing Christian zealots" voting means that the scores would've been higher if not for the fact that people with issues with Christianity who wouldn't even WANT to see the movie could vote against it online......
