The only film I've had to walk out the cinema

You are either a troll or a complete idiot. I'm going to go with the latter.
Thank you for making it clear to me just how morbid your mind is. I will not waste any more time on you. Seek help - in the form of medication.
Translation: "I cannot possibly refute the irrefutable logic & wisdom of God, as relayed to me by his emissary Navaros. Therefore, since I have no possible rebuttal, I will simply pretend that nothing that God said happened, lob some ad hom logical fallacy attacks at Navaros, and declare 'victory' for myself!"
God and I have seen that exact same M.O from darwinists
countless
times before. Your ad homs against me and your lack of any substantive response to God's truths once again proclaim God's undefeatable glory. Praise God! Amen.

Well because - after I've pissed on this film so often on here - I guess I should make a small statement as to why I
didn't
walk out on it. It's simply because of the film's several "positives":- Outstanding photography
- "Believable" costuming and locations
- Use of the "native" languages-cum-subtitles (which were apparently not perfect, but it's the thought that counts)
- Excellent Jesus played by Jim Caviezel
- Excellent casting - no miscasting whatsoever
- Realistic effects - the moon over Gethsemane, "Jerusalem", rolling clouds during the crucifixion, imaginative "falling divine tear" during the same scene, convincing earthquake and its destructive effects, lovely "vacuum emptying" effect in the collapse of Jesus' burial shroud
- The occasional successful meaningful/ironic scene, e.g., when Jesus falls under the cross's weight, Mary's mind flashes-back to the toddler-Jesus tripping and falling, then she goes to comfort the fallen Jesus and Jesus says,
"See, Mother, how I make all things new!"
- a bit of irony because as "the world" views it, Jesus has utterly failed and is on his way to annihilation; but as Jesus/God sees it, Jesus is on his way to fulfilling "all that was written", on his way to saving humankind, on his way to victorious death and triumphal Resurrection. How his brief statement to Mary sums up all this - and perfectly.
So - those are most of the reasons that I didn't walk out on this film.

those are most of the reasons that I didn't walk out on this film.
and
most of all
, because you needed to see the content of the film in order to become capable of performing dissembly-style lies upon it.

Not due to any religious beliefs but the sheer brutality of it sickened me. I'm not entirely sure where I stand with regards to God, Jesus or religion but it's true the Romans were this vicious and it really upset me.
I had to leave my husband watching it and wait outside with a cup of tea to calm my nerves!
Anybody else react strongly to this film? Or is it just me with a very weak stomach?!
12 years later and i still cover my eyes to most of the brutal scenes. you aren't alone."I have never seen a vision, nor learned a secret, that would damn or save my soul"! -

No offense to the religious users on the board, but the film is basically a 2 hour long torture porn film (almost would make an honorable pass as a horror film). A more appropriate title would be "The Jesus Chainsaw Massacre."
Honestly, while I did enjoy the film for what it was attempting to convey, there have been much better films about this material.
