I saw the movie.

I don't understand why the contraversy. It was pretty much all 'historically' correct. I dunno about the visions of satan/serpent or whatever, though - it just reminded me of Mini-me mixed with Gollum from LOTR

That aside, I thought the movie was very well put together. I'm extremely happy it wasn't a movie filled with famous actors/actresses as well as the fact that it was subtitled instead of Americanizing it with the English language.

I didn't like the fact that they still made Jesus white. Historically, he was of much darker complexion. Why people refuse to acknowledge this, I have no idea. But that's pretty much my only gripe about the movie.

It's a great movie to motivate discussion, whether you are a religious person or not.

You most definitely don't have to be a religious person to appreciate the heaviness of the film.
