Description of The Passion of the Christ (Definitive Edition) [Blu-ray]:

After all the controversy and rigorous debate has subsided, Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ will remain a force to be reckoned with. In the final analysis, "Gibson's Folly" is an act of personal bravery and commitment on the part of its director, who self-financed this $25-30 million production to preserve his artistic goal of creating the Passion of Christ ("Passion" in this context meaning "suffering") as a quite literal, in-your-face interpretation of the final 12 hours in the life of Jesus, scripted almost directly from the gospels (and spoken in Aramaic and Latin with a relative minimum of subtitles) and presented as a relentless, 126-minute ordeal of torture and crucifixion. For Christians and non-Christians alike, this film does not "entertain," and it's not a film that one can "like" or "dislike" in any conventional sense. (It is also emphatically not a film for children or the weak of heart.) Rather, The Passion is a cinematic experience that serves an almost singular purpose: to show the scourging and death of Jesus Christ in such horrifically graphic detail (with Gibson's own hand pounding the nails in the cross) that even non-believers may feel a twinge of sorrow and culpability in witnessing the final moments of the Son of God, played by Jim Caviezel in a performance that's not so much acting as a willful act of submission, so intense that some will weep not only for Christ, but for Caviezel's unparalleled test of endurance.

Leave it to the intelligentsia to debate the film's alleged anti-Semitic slant; if one judges what is on the screen (so gloriously served by John Debney's score and Caleb Deschanel's cinematography), there is fuel for debate but no obvious malice aforethought; the Jews under Caiaphas are just as guilty as the barbaric Romans who carry out the execution, especially after Gibson excised (from the subtitles, if not the soundtrack) the film's most controversial line of dialogue. If one accepts that Gibson's intentions are sincere, The Passion can be accepted for what it is: a grueling, straightforward (some might say unimaginative) and extremely violent depiction of the Passion, guaranteed to render devout Christians speechless while it intensifies their faith. Non-believers are likely to take a more dispassionate view, and some may resort to ridicule. But one thing remains undebatable: with The Passion of the Christ, Gibson put his money where his mouth is. You can praise or damn him all you want, but you've got to admire his chutzpah. --Jeff Shannon

The Passion of the Christ (Definitive Edition) [Blu-ray] Reviews:
AN INSTANT ANTI CHRISTIAN CLASSIC!!!
2009-12-29 - If you love seeing Jesus get the hell beat out of him and tortured for hours this is the way to go! Pure black metal in my opinion, I don't see why Christians like watching their savior destroyed... I thoroughly enjoyed it. This is one of my favorite movies. I would advise against watching this unless you hate Jesus.

Very Good Service
2009-12-28 - I'm very satisfied with my purchase, the movie is great and the delivery time was very fast.

GREAT MOVIE! - (not for children)
2009-12-28 - This is a great story that stands through the ages. Because it's realistic, it can be very gory which is not recommended at all for children. The video transfer is very good MPEG-4 AVC. The audio is DTS-HD in Aramaic/Latin/Hebrew. Subtitles: English, English SDH, Spanish, Portuguese, Cantonese, Korean, Mandarin, Tagalog, Thai

There is a lot of special features.

Inspiring movie!
2009-12-28 - I have watched this on the big screen and now on blu-ray, this is a very moving and inspirational movie. The blu-ray copy combined with a digital copy lets you play it anywhere anytime.

THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST
2009-12-27 - THIS IS A REMARKABLE MOVIE. A MUST SEE. SELDOM DOES ANYONE MAKE A MOVIE THAT IS LASTING AND THIS IS ONE THAT WILL BE WITH US AS LONG AS THERE IS MOVIES. MEL GIBSON'S EFFORT SHOWS AN ABIDING BELIEF AND IT IS SHOWN UPON THE SCREEN. AS A CHRISIAN THIS SPEAKS VOLUMES TO ME. I FELT LIKE I WAS IN ANOTHER TIME AND SPACE TOTALLY MOVED.I AM VERY GRATEFUL FOR THIS MOVIE BECAUSE HOLLYWOOD DOES NOT MAKE ANYTHING CHRISTIAN THESE DAYS WHERE ONCE THEY DID. SO THIS WAS A NICE CHANGE AND A KEEPER.ALSO THE VIOLENCE THAT SOME PEOPLE MENTION IS THERE TO SHOW THE EVENT THAT JESUS WENT THRU FOR MANKIND, NOT JUST FOR THE FUN OF IT.. SO IF YOU CAN WATCH THE TRANSFORMERS AND LIKE MOVIES THEN YOU CAN WATCH THIS VIOLENCE, IT SHOWS REAL LIFE WHAT A MAN WENT THROUGH FOR THE GREATER GOOD OF MANKIND.BE PREPARED TO BE ENTHRALLED.
