Mary Magdelene: Smokin Hot. Seriously, the scenes where Jesus was on the cross, and they would show Mary Magdelene, I was like "Damn, Id like to tag-team her with my wife".

Tag....you're it....

I thought about seeing the movie for that reason only.....

good review, but your missing the point of the movie. first off whether you believe it or not, Jesus died for you on the cross, why didnt he run? why didnt he hide? he had to do this to fullfill prophecy and save his fathers creation. This movie somewhat depicts the real physical and mental responces Jesus went through during the last 12 or so hrs of his life.

Hahaha, good review, almost as good as Maddox's review of Dawn of the dead.

Warning: Vulgar language.

The responses to Jdub's parody are a little bothersome to me.

Are we that uptight about our faith in HIM, that we can't poke some fun at ourselves?

I would hate to think I have a belief in God that HE doesn't have a sense of humor as well.

Of course, JDub is going to burn in the blackest charnel pits of hell for it, but it is funny stuff.

I mean come on guys, if you can't have some fun with our faith, we end up having a faith the same way AL Qaeda does.


Now there's a group of people with no sense of humor at all.

I wonder how all the Christians would react if somebody made a movie about Mohammad and his trials through life? Probably along the lines of "Jesus is the one true savior! That movie is all BS!!!!!1!!11" while it could be a very nice movie indeed. Amazing how things turn around when its not your faith. Just sit back and enjoy JDubs comedy before you go on a tangent.

Except that Mohammad never sacrificed anything for anyone. He was a warrior/general who became a prophet after he kicked everyone's arse around him!

Yep, Mohammad was a prophet, not the Savior.

"Hello Dalai!....Lama" thats comedy gold right there

I wrote that review right after I woke up. I just wanted to give my thoughts on the picture, with a few small funny/dirty quips. A full parody review would have been much more offensive......yet so much more funny. go figure

FOL- Your post made my day. There is a place in paradise for you, my friend.


Gideon1331- I think you are missing the point of my review. *I dont believe that Jesus is God. i.e. I dont believe he died for ME* Hence the movie is not going to have the same impact to me that it will to a believer.
I was getting a little tired of people reviewing it and saying it was so great cause it showed how Jesus sacrificed himself for *me*. If someone believes in him and it makes for a movie that truly speaks to them, then I think thats great for them. But guess what, I dont know Jesus, Ive never met him....ive never bummed $20 from him....ive never borrowed his Girls Gone Wild DVD, or dated his sister. So Im sorry the "whether you believe it or not, Jesus died for you on the cross"...just aint gonna cut it.

Like I said its a good movie. But to a non-believer its still a movie about some guy getting the beatdown by the mighty roman jackboot...er...sandal.


oh and by the way- whether you believe it or not, when you die you will be reincarnated as a lower or higher life form, according to how you lived your previous life.

EDIT: Doh! I just realized ive probably sacrificed myself to the Thread Lock Gods. hehe

Was he even a prophet? From what I've read he was a bum who tried to get rich and powerful by starting a religion and forcing everyone to convert or die. History tells us that after taking over the middle east he moved into africa. He (Or his heir as the case may be) was stopped before he fully take over/convert europe, but if he hadn't been stopped we'd all be muslim (or dead) right now.

But, hey, he didn't do too badly. Islam is the #2 religion, the fastest growing, and the whole violence for conversions thing still has a niche...

JDubs, was the review intended as parody, or was it a serious review with an irreverent bent? I think you have a good point, about how different the movie might be for a non-Christian who doesn't know the backstory. I don't see how any reasonable person can be offended by that.

BTW - I haven't seen the movie, and have no intention to see it.

[1stdeadeye]

I think everything J Dub does is a parady.

I thought is was cute. Like Facts said, you can't take yourself to seriously!
