I watched a panel where you said you and Doug were talking about doing this for a colab review, but I never thought it would actually happen! PRAISE SANTA CHRIST!
The one moment in the film that actually moved me was Mary's flashback to comforting young Jesus. The helplessness she must feel seeing the abuse of her son, and not being able to do anything about it. Maybe it's corny, but it stirred empathy in me.
I will say this. The version of Satan portrayed in this movie is probably one of the creepiest I've seen so far in movies. Sorry Peter Stormare, but I think the actress from Passion has you beat.
Man, so many nincompoops are complaining about the skits, but I love them! Great episode, so glad it's back! The skits make the memories of watching this movie almost tolerable.
I think South Park spread across that message very well, AND even Critic praised them for it: "If you wanna be Christian, that's cool, but you should follow what Jesus taught, not how he died" I couldn't agree more. If you follow some religion and focus only what harm was done to it in some way, then you don't deserve that faith. That's like becoming Jewish just so that you can shame people for the Holocaust.
So The Passion of the Christ was about Jesus and was the highest grossing R rated film of all time. Then Deadpool came out and became the Highest grossing R rated film of all time.... does that mean Deadpool is the second coming of jesus?
First Deadpool is bad... I hate all the meaningless nudity and sex crap. Deadpool 2 toned it down a little bit and was way better movie to me. Less cringe
Space Cowboy Deadpool was a good film though, so just because it has sex and nudity and violence, that makes it a bad movie to you. That’s just terrible logic. Deadpool 2 was an incredibly violent movie as well, if anything it was even more inappropriate than the first one.
I want a movie about Revelations, but the full balls out insanity version. With Lion-locust-scorpion hybrids swarming the earth to torment people, and 7 headed dragons being ridden by a hooker
As ridiculous as the idea of Jesus inventing the chair is, I do think that was a good scene, it showed that Jesus has a sense of humor, unlike many of his followers.
I heard a story about this movie from a friend of mine. He and his family were vacationing in St. John over Easter and decided to watch this movie. Seems like a strange way to spend your Caribbean vacation, but who am I to judge? Anyway, since they were on vacation, they were also drinking a lot, and he was so smashed he couldn't follow the movie at all. He kept asking his family members, "Which one's Jesus?" in a slurred voice. Apparently, his family found this hilarious.
The Romans didn't actually crucify people like that. They would take a long board, tie it to the victim's wrists with rope, put the victim on top of a permanent pole and leave them there to suffocate to death (real crosses are capital Ts not lower case ts. Driving a nail through someone's wrist or ankle would make them die quickly. The real Romans wanted the victim to slowly asphyxiate over several hours while everyone else watched. That is real torture, not whipping someone for a few minutes and killing them via exsanguination. Also, the entire Passion is so blatantly fictional that any person who knows dick about Jewish traditions or history would laugh at the thought of it being real. The Romans would never release a murderer and would never do anything the Jewish leaders asked them to do. The Passion is a Passover story which substitutes two goats with two humans. Pilate literally lost his post because he was killing too many Jews (Rome was pissed that he was killing off his work force out of pure antisemitism.
Actor Jim Caviezel has been struck by lightning while playing Jesus in Mel Gibson's controversial film The Passion Of Christ. The lightning bolt hit Caviezel and the film's assistant director Jan Michelini while they were filming in a remote location a few hours from Rome. Wow... it's actually true, but I don't think it was three times?
I don't even get it. I don't even see the story of Jesus dying for our sins here, or at least, not a whole lot of it. The movie focuses so much more on Jesus' death scene than it does on anything else that I feel that it was solely made just for that one purpose. To show us that Jesus wasn't just whipped a few times, nailed to a cross and died, coming back 3 days later to save us. Now, to be fair, if that was the movie's sole intention from the start, then I respect that. But if this movie was trying to retell the whole story and spread the good news as to why Jesus died for our sins, I don't think that I could recommend it to a lot of people.
Obviously, someone had a gay BDSM fetish, but was too ashamed to admit it. Why else would someone make a movie about a guy getting whipped by another guy and then market it as a religious experience for the whole family?
Because this film is about his hour of passion. It's not about his whole life, it's about his sacrifice. I definitely recommend it to people. Jesus is dying for our sins here
I really want to know what the guy in that truck was thinking when he drove by at 25:20 Because he's just driving by and looks out the window to see 3 grown men, 2 dressed like Mario and Luigi while a third guy is laying there on the ground dressed like an old man.

However, I've also seen films like the Prince of Egypt which can capture an audience yet still uphold the spiritual value the original story told.
This movie is an accurate representation of how The Last 12 Hours of Jesus was, how his trial was, how people mocked and hit him, the scourging at the pillar and the crucifixion. Most people don't like this movie because they're atheists or because they don't like watching Jesus pay the price for our transgressions
@@wolfgangamadeusmozart1293 or because they dont like watching a what, 2 hour film of jesus being whipped in slow motion. Not something most people would watch
My mom was a pretty religious person though not very pushy about it. She bought this movie to see it out of curiosity because of her faith. She got as far as where the Roman soldiers keep whipping Jesus and she started cracking up. Why? Because the soldiers were acting so cartoonish they reminded her of the old WWF wrestling team The Bushwackers. At some point shortly thereafter the tape got stuck in the vcr, and my mom said that was kind of a sign from God that this was not a film to be taken seriously
Most American Mexican You'll Encounter i had alway assumed that Christian children were well off and legitimate. Sorry to hear you were a poor bastard version.
I grew up in a Christian household but my mom is cool and basically went "It's a little too intense for you right now. You can watch it someday". Watching as a 23 year old who actually knows quite a bit about history and is an atheist, I can see how manipulative this movie is.
Right! I went to leave a comment and the top comment was only 18 minutes old. Lmao. I had to check the upload date! I thought "Is this new?" Haha. Goes to show how _passionate_ some people can be :)
+The Chaos Dragoness Do not worry. He will rise again on New Years Day as a baby boy wearing nothing more than a diaper, a top hat and a sash across his torso with 2016 on it.
That's not true. This film is 2 hours long. Not 3. And this movie is an accurate representation of the Sacrifice of Jesus. You do know the sacrifice was violent in real life, right? I mean if you never read the bible because of your ignorance that would be one thing
@@wolfgangamadeusmozart1293 the sacrifice is a fictional event written in 35 to 40 CE as a Passover play. There are no writings earlier than 85 CE which imply it was a real event. Pilate lost his governorship in real life for killing too many Jews. He never would have (1) released a killer of Romans (the released goat Barabus) or (2) killed someone because Jewish elders told him to.
@@geoffreysorkin5774 the sacrifice is not fictional, it is a real event that happened in order to save you, me and the rest of humanity. It was written in the four gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
People are legitimately getting offended by this review so I know it’s gonna be good. I’m just hoping they reference the episode of South Park. That’s one of my favorites.
They show this in my school every Good Friday. Even to the kids that get EXTREMELY uncomfortable with two hours of torture porn being shown to them. I don't even care if you say "IT'S IMPORTANT TO SHOW HOW CHRIST SUFFERED!" This movie is NOT appropriate for children - or for ANYONE to be forced through for that matter. If you're going to watch it, fine, but watch it by choice and don't make your friends, family, or especially CHILDREN.
+TeamChaosPrez I saw it at 14...religious Baptist family. Honestly I was bored to death by most of it...but that just adds to what you said. Kids aren't going to "get" the movie, whether it's because they're young and the blood is bad for them, or older and wondering why torture porn is going on for 2 freaking hours.
This film is not a torture porn. It's an accurate representation of Christ's sacrifice. Children shouldn't watch this yet, but grown members in your families and grown friends must watch this. I'll watch this by choice too. You don't like it cause you're either an atheist or a sensitive person.
@@wolfgangamadeusmozart1293 the problem with the movie is that it’s entirely reliant on the audience knowing the source material. To anyone who doesn’t know the story of Jesus it’s just two hours of watching some dude get his shit kicked in. At best you can get the idea the Jesus was some cult leader and probably a decent dude but to anyone who isn’t already emotionally invested this movie is just gonna weird them out.
@@PikachuLittle correction: it's a masterpiece of two hours of watching our lord and savior giving up his life for us, with a few flashbacks from his ministry. People should know that Jesus was beaten and scourged horribly that you couldn't tell who he was anymore. What this movie is doing is showing an accurate representation of that. Other films like Jesus of Nazareth and heck, even The Last Temptation of Christ goes too lighthearted on the sacrifice, which I think it's disrespectful.
I watched this movie when I was really young. 10 years later, when I heard people refer to it as "Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ", I literally thought they meant Mel Gibson played Jesus.
Not everyone is going to have your exact same mindset. Not everyone follows God the same way or feels about certain things addressing Jesus the same way. The Bible was written thousands of years ago, could be translated very wrong, and it's incredibly vague on top of that. Everyone interprets it differently.. This is a movie. Not the Holy book itself. It's supposed to strike differently with everyone. It's supposed to be subjective. That's how media and opinions work.
@Yan I think it's a good legitimate question. If the person who actually had a supernatural encounter with God when making this film, I don't actually get how someone cannot appreciate it. I love how this argument or question makes me selfish and prejudice. If that's your great comeback, I might as well argue with a feminist.
@Yan The person who made the movie had a close encounter with GOD. That alone is complete and total disrespect on the bullshit that just came out of your mouth. You want respect and demand to be respected for your opinions, but you like to poke fun at our savior and what He died for by calling it a fetish film? The movie was suppose to impact you and see what He died for and how He died. There's many movies about Jesus, but none showed His death. You're more welcome to believe what you want, but just know I have a right to say something too. I like how you're on your high horse demanding my believes are wrong or invalid. I stand up for my believes, you stand for nothing, but what the MAJORITY feels. Oh, and because it hurts "others" feelings....I am going to call it out when I see it. Funny how you stand up for feminist that HATE men and making men fem. bitches, but not standing up for a GOD who DIED for YOUR SINS.
The bible says Jesus was beaten so badly that he was unrecognizable, even to His own mother. I can see why people would be thrown off by the goriness of the film but it was honestly not even close to the suffering he actually endured. Even though the message of the film could have been better I cannot deny that the cinematography was stunning and the actors were fantastic.
The Gospels never detailed much of how badly Jesus was beaten, most of these other violent descriptions come from non-canonical sources. To be honest, I highly doubt any man could survive the scourging scene alone, there's a reason why romans limited the amount of lashes one could deliver with the Cat O' Nine Tails whip to about 12. That whip rips the flesh of the prisoner to shreds and too many lashes could kill them, yet Jesus in this movie took way more than 12 lashes, lost more blood than the human body could have, and considering how much he was scourged his body was supposed to look way worse than that. The Passion isn't realistic nor is it historically accurate at all, also the demonized depiciton of the romans as violent, barbarian brutes who had this vindictive spirit towards Jesus and can't stop beating him unless forced by their commander is largely exaggerated. The Bible portrays roman soldiers and centurions in a much more positive light, most of them being merciful and just, one even asked Jesus to heal his servant. Surprisingly, very few mentions of sadistic brutality or injustice on their part are found on the scriptures.
Nobody could know for sure, but Jesus was beaten pretty badly, and then they put a crown of thorns on his head. As far as the Romans they could be barbaric, but they were no more than others at the time. That being said crucifixions were quite torturous, so anybody that went through one suffered quite a bit.
This review was terrible. Your subtitles say the Aramaic word “Akhat” means “big gulps”, when everyone knows the Aramaic for “big gulps” is “bodacious slurpees dude”.
Fun fact, I lived near the city where a guy killed his girlfriend, staged it as a suicide and wasn't discovered until he watched Passion of the Christ and confessed years later.
Ahri The Nine-Tailed Fox true but it still doesn’t come close to lifetime grossing, that’s still passion of the Christ then, Deadpool, then American sniper, then It, and then Deadpool 2.
With a £58 million budget. That's peanuts nowadays. They still won''t throw and where near the kind of money at R rated projects that they do at PG-13 ones.
Ladies and Gentlemen in the comment section. Those who are for or against the video. Is it really worth intervening if the consequences escalate drama and most likely the end result will not prevent or alter future course of events and that it there a high risk that it’ll do more harm than good?

So.... Nostalgia Critic-Cinema Snob crossover The featured movie is the Passion of the Christ Critic shaved off the goatee again (RIP beardy 2008-2015) Santa Christ SOLD!
What trauma? This movie represents how the sacrifice of Jesus was. In the bible, it was violent and gruesome. You either don't like it because you're an atheist or because you have a sensitive stomach or something
It is important to criticize that which is sacred. It helps build understanding, informs of flaws and, prevents intolerance. The Criticisms given in this review are of the movie and not the actual biblical works it's based. Even if it were a critique of the bible it would be no different than those who defend it that also criticize beliefs other than their own. To say something can't be criticized is tantamount to censorship.
To those shitting on Brad and Doug for this review, I don't know what you were expecting. You should know what you were getting into when watching the Cinema Snob. At least, that's what I think.
It just seems to be a bunch of people defending this movie because "it's christian," completely ignoring the fact it pushes every possible theme and importance of the story they're telling to just make a gorey torture porn lol
@@NachoCheeseDorito-Kun look it’s much easier to guilt people into blind faith than it is to portray someone being a genuinely good person making the world a better place.
Santa Christ! Why did Nostlagia Critic betrayed him?! This explains why Santa Christ was angry at Critic and Cinema Snob in the 2016 Christmas crossover.
It is the greatest love story ever told because it's hands down the greatest example of charity. Back when I was agnostic (professed but didn't truly believe), I refused to watch this review. Now that I'm Christian, boy.
Also the Roman elites spoke greek, it was the high society language. It made them feel superior to the common people and the slaves who didn't understand it.
the slaves probably didnt even understand latin so why go to the trouble? and in the republic years maybe, but in the imperial years im not that sure that the patricians kept speaking greek. some of them learned the language but this sounds like too much trouble for nothing.speaking greek in your house in rome sure, your slaves know latin. but in a foreign country? can you tell me your sources please?
apo kos Slaves who were in service long enough would definitely come to learn some form of Latin, likely vulgar, especially if they were servants in a household. Greek was spoken by the elites in the empire similarly to how French was spoken at court by aristocrats all across Europe in Medieval times.
um French? in medieval times? what french? nord occitan? occitan moyen? gascon? there was no unified french language even in the hundred years war.what you have in mind comes much much later
Getting this upset over a critique is unnecessary. Are people not allowed to analyze religious material or view it in a light that does anything other than approve of a belief system? Nothing is above critique/analysis. It can be the difference between faith and blind faith.
The Snob and the Critic on Brad's sofa. Perfection. P.S. I really want to know how long this movie would actually be without slow motion. Google had no answers.
I will admit, even when all the Jesus and ancient Roman movies suck they’re sets are at least lovely enough for me to look at them instead of watching the movie
***** I like the way you think I think Gibson saw the bible a little differently then others This is why I love the south park episode that shows the effect the film had on people and it's end message (i says this as a none religious person)
the difference is that Passion caused controversy and was ridiculed given it was mad by Mel...Deadpool was the exact opposite and dare say it...a lot more accurate to its source.......
Any people who think he's making fun of Jesus, no, it's a movie. Not Jesus, the movie didn't die for us. I feel like more Christians need to take a joke, they make us look bad lol
@@arcticangel1628 again, no he isn't. They all grew up going to religious schools and reading the bible. They know enough to review religious film's, he's said plenty of times why he's ok to tackle this sort of thing and not religious movies outside of Christianity. Just because you disagree with Snob doesn't mean he's wrong about this shit film 🙄
gRinchY 230490 Really? Did their religious schools teach them to make fun of something just because they don’t like it and they’re not happy about it? Just because they don’t like it doesn’t necessarily mean they should make fun of it.
At 16:22 thru 16:26 are two of the stronger VFX shots of the Passion. They took aprox. 2 weeks to make (involved some specialized CGI art work, flail animation, and compositing). And yes, I was part of the team that created those. The curtain tearing sequence was mostly done by Pam K. Vick. Ted Rae directed the FX work.
I ran through the comments, and all the salty Christians who think Doug and Brad are haters, that their jokes are "inaccuracies," and that one guy who thinks they should be defending this movie... Yeah, I gotta laugh. The Passion isn't exactly a show that's loyal to the source material, beyond it's ulterior motives, and Gibson's version isn't exactly a shining example of it, beyond using the languages. When I saw this movie, I absolutely couldn't stop laughing at the cherry picking of the bible, and the numerous historical inaccuracies. And while I'm hardly that well-versed in the bible, I don't remember things like the demon spawn children, or Satan watching Jesus' torture. Is that something the Catholics added in, did I read the wrong version, or did the Passion add Satan in for image- I don't remember Satan in the version I saw, did they omit it, or did Gibson add it in?!
Dude, he has a great voice...He can sound menacing in one vid and lighthearted/goofy in the next. and i was of course joking when i made the comment above

The only spiritual uplifting I got from this film is the fact that Crucifixion was probably lot more brutal than taught in Sunday schools. .
The Romans didn't actually crucify people like that. They would take a long board, tie it to the victim's wrists with rope, put the victim on top of a permanent pole and leave them there to suffocate to death (real crosses are capital Ts not lower case ts. Driving a nail through someone's wrist or ankle would make them die quickly. The real Romans wanted the victim to slowly asphyxiate over several hours while everyone else watched.

Wow, your Bible teacher forced you to watch two shit films? I am so sorry for you
Passion of the crust would be a good name for a pizza parlor.
Would Passionfruit of the Christ make a good smoothie name or would it work better as a frozen yogurt flavor?
Sounds yummy!
My mom was a pretty religious person though not very pushy about it. She bought this movie to see it out of curiosity because of her faith. She got as far as where the Roman soldiers keep whipping Jesus and she started cracking up. Why? Because the soldiers were acting so cartoonish they reminded her of the old WWF wrestling team The Bushwackers. At some point shortly thereafter the tape got stuck in the vcr, and my mom said that was kind of a sign from God that this was not a film to be taken seriously
Tape got stuck in the vcr? Lol
The saddest part to me is you were watching a VHS tape in 2004 or 2005. ;)
Shout out to the poor bastards (including me) who grew up in a Christian household and were forced to watch this
Most American Mexican You'll Encounter i had alway assumed that Christian children were well off and legitimate. Sorry to hear you were a poor bastard version.
I grew up in a Christian household but my mom is cool and basically went "It's a little too intense for you right now. You can watch it someday". Watching as a 23 year old who actually knows quite a bit about history and is an atheist, I can see how manipulative this movie is.
3:20- That is until 12 years later when Deadpool grossed $783.1 million against its $58 million budget.
This is a great review with a funny script and enjoyable commentary that was obviously well thought out! Good work!

This movie is the equivalent of watching the ending of Old Yeller...and only the ending...in slow motion...for 3 hours.
That's not true. This film is 2 hours long. Not 3. And this movie is an accurate representation of the Sacrifice of Jesus. You do know the sacrifice was violent in real life, right? I mean if you never read the bible because of your ignorance that would be one thing
@@wolfgangamadeusmozart1293 you should watch Jesus Christ Superstar. It’s much better.
@@mangolorian so is passion
@@wolfgangamadeusmozart1293 the sacrifice is a fictional event written in 35 to 40 CE as a Passover play. There are no writings earlier than 85 CE which imply it was a real event. Pilate lost his governorship in real life for killing too many Jews. He never would have (1) released a killer of Romans (the released goat Barabus) or (2) killed someone because Jewish elders told him to.
@@geoffreysorkin5774 the sacrifice is not fictional, it is a real event that happened in order to save you, me and the rest of humanity. It was written in the four gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
From Season One of Good Omens:
“What did he say that got them all riled up, anyway?”
“Be kind to each other.”
“Oh, that’ll do it.”

"What could possibly go wrong?" Famous last words
@@Mrkabrat Bubsy's famous words
Judas had a way more gruesome death scene in the actual bible so i don’t know why Gibson didn’t do that
Uh huh. After dying on the tree, his body fell and exploded.
Vicente Hizon then they named the field after his exploded corpse
The field of blood
Vicente Hizon Akeldama
And the reason that he didn’t do it, he already had enough gore to make someone puke.
People are legitimately getting offended by this review so I know it’s gonna be good. I’m just hoping they reference the episode of South Park. That’s one of my favorites.
"You're still up on that cross."
They show this in my school every Good Friday. Even to the kids that get EXTREMELY uncomfortable with two hours of torture porn being shown to them. I don't even care if you say "IT'S IMPORTANT TO SHOW HOW CHRIST SUFFERED!" This movie is NOT appropriate for children - or for ANYONE to be forced through for that matter. If you're going to watch it, fine, but watch it by choice and don't make your friends, family, or especially CHILDREN.
+TeamChaosPrez I saw it at 14...religious Baptist family. Honestly I was bored to death by most of it...but that just adds to what you said. Kids aren't going to "get" the movie, whether it's because they're young and the blood is bad for them, or older and wondering why torture porn is going on for 2 freaking hours.
This film is not a torture porn. It's an accurate representation of Christ's sacrifice. Children shouldn't watch this yet, but grown members in your families and grown friends must watch this. I'll watch this by choice too. You don't like it cause you're either an atheist or a sensitive person.
@@Aladayle you people don't get the message of the film. That's what frustrates me
@@wolfgangamadeusmozart1293 the problem with the movie is that it’s entirely reliant on the audience knowing the source material. To anyone who doesn’t know the story of Jesus it’s just two hours of watching some dude get his shit kicked in. At best you can get the idea the Jesus was some cult leader and probably a decent dude but to anyone who isn’t already emotionally invested this movie is just gonna weird them out.
@@PikachuLittle correction: it's a masterpiece of two hours of watching our lord and savior giving up his life for us, with a few flashbacks from his ministry. People should know that Jesus was beaten and scourged horribly that you couldn't tell who he was anymore. What this movie is doing is showing an accurate representation of that. Other films like Jesus of Nazareth and heck, even The Last Temptation of Christ goes too lighthearted on the sacrifice, which I think it's disrespectful.
I wonder what woud happen if a 5 year old passed by and saw Mario and Luigi beating up someone dressed like Santa Claus XD
Rexus He would probably record it on his iPad with a kiddie grip and upload it to mommy’s Instagram, drawing confusion from her fellow mommy followers
I watched this movie when I was really young.
10 years later, when I heard people refer to it as "Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ", I literally thought they meant Mel Gibson played Jesus.
You mean he didn't?
I'm a Christian, and the sentiments of Snob and the Critic at the end pretty much sums up how I feel about the film.
I honestly don't get how you can be a Christian and say that
Not everyone is going to have your exact same mindset. Not everyone follows God the same way or feels about certain things addressing Jesus the same way. The Bible was written thousands of years ago, could be translated very wrong, and it's incredibly vague on top of that. Everyone interprets it differently.. This is a movie. Not the Holy book itself. It's supposed to strike differently with everyone. It's supposed to be subjective. That's how media and opinions work.
Yes, but Jesus did die for us....and this is suppose to reflect on what all the stuff He went through. I don't get it.
@Yan I think it's a good legitimate question. If the person who actually had a supernatural encounter with God when making this film, I don't actually get how someone cannot appreciate it. I love how this argument or question makes me selfish and prejudice. If that's your great comeback, I might as well argue with a feminist.
@Yan The person who made the movie had a close encounter with GOD. That alone is complete and total disrespect on the bullshit that just came out of your mouth. You want respect and demand to be respected for your opinions, but you like to poke fun at our savior and what He died for by calling it a fetish film? The movie was suppose to impact you and see what He died for and how He died. There's many movies about Jesus, but none showed His death. You're more welcome to believe what you want, but just know I have a right to say something too. I like how you're on your high horse demanding my believes are wrong or invalid. I stand up for my believes, you stand for nothing, but what the MAJORITY feels. Oh, and because it hurts "others" feelings....I am going to call it out when I see it. Funny how you stand up for feminist that HATE men and making men fem. bitches, but not standing up for a GOD who DIED for YOUR SINS.
You'd think Jesus would've put wheels on the cross so as to make it easier to transport....after all, he did invent the wheel.
'critic how could do this ... we were going to have a picnic." favourite line in cinema snob ever!
The bible says Jesus was beaten so badly that he was unrecognizable, even to His own mother. I can see why people would be thrown off by the goriness of the film but it was honestly not even close to the suffering he actually endured. Even though the message of the film could have been better I cannot deny that the cinematography was stunning and the actors were fantastic.
The Gospels never detailed much of how badly Jesus was beaten, most of these other violent descriptions come from non-canonical sources. To be honest, I highly doubt any man could survive the scourging scene alone, there's a reason why romans limited the amount of lashes one could deliver with the Cat O' Nine Tails whip to about 12. That whip rips the flesh of the prisoner to shreds and too many lashes could kill them, yet Jesus in this movie took way more than 12 lashes, lost more blood than the human body could have, and considering how much he was scourged his body was supposed to look way worse than that.
The Passion isn't realistic nor is it historically accurate at all, also the demonized depiciton of the romans as violent, barbarian brutes who had this vindictive spirit towards Jesus and can't stop beating him unless forced by their commander is largely exaggerated. The Bible portrays roman soldiers and centurions in a much more positive light, most of them being merciful and just, one even asked Jesus to heal his servant. Surprisingly, very few mentions of sadistic brutality or injustice on their part are found on the scriptures.
Nobody could know for sure, but Jesus was beaten pretty badly, and then they put a crown of thorns on his head. As far as the Romans they could be barbaric, but they were no more than others at the time. That being said crucifixions were quite torturous, so anybody that went through one suffered quite a bit.
Santa Christ being whipped made me cry. He's deserves an award for his acting.
It was so brutal
Santa Christ: "Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!"
No. Jim Caviezel deserved an award for playing Jesus.
This movie has more falling down than an episode of America's funniest home videos
[Watches Passion of the Christ]
Now that's a lot of damage!
This review was terrible. Your subtitles say the Aramaic word “Akhat” means “big gulps”, when everyone knows the Aramaic for “big gulps” is “bodacious slurpees dude”.
Fun fact, I lived near the city where a guy killed his girlfriend, staged it as a suicide and wasn't discovered until he watched Passion of the Christ and confessed years later.
That's something that actually happened? Damn

And now we have Deadpool as highest Worldwide Box Office R rated movie.
Ahri The Nine-Tailed Fox true but it still doesn’t come close to lifetime grossing, that’s still passion of the Christ then, Deadpool, then American sniper, then It, and then Deadpool 2.
No doubt Deadpool 2 will pass passion of the Christ in lifetime grossing eventually
you know Christ died for all of our sins, and that’s why it’s R rated movie. He had to suffer for us so that’s why the movie is so violent
With a £58 million budget. That's peanuts nowadays. They still won''t throw and where near the kind of money at R rated projects that they do at PG-13 ones.
And Joker now. :)
I wish they would do this more .
I never new they did this colab.
Snobs blunt clever humor and nostalgia critics witty clever humor
This review was bad. They got the message wrong
Ladies and Gentlemen in the comment section. Those who are for or against the video.
Is it really worth intervening if the consequences escalate drama and most likely the end result will not prevent or alter future course of events and that it there a high risk that it’ll do more harm than good?
"If you don’t like it, don’t watch it. The cruelest attention you can give to any form of entertainment is no attention.”

It is important to criticize that which is sacred. It helps build understanding, informs of flaws and, prevents intolerance. The Criticisms given in this review are of the movie and not the actual biblical works it's based. Even if it were a critique of the bible it would be no different than those who defend it that also criticize beliefs other than their own. To say something can't be criticized is tantamount to censorship.
Thank you, this was a really good and understanding comment :)
The Vallin Finally someone with common sense. Bless your heart.
To those shitting on Brad and Doug for this review, I don't know what you were expecting. You should know what you were getting into when watching the Cinema Snob.
At least, that's what I think.
Right lol. If this is your first time seeing a Cinema Snob/Nostalgia Critic, then idk what to say. This isnt a very smooth starting point lol.
It just seems to be a bunch of people defending this movie because "it's christian," completely ignoring the fact it pushes every possible theme and importance of the story they're telling to just make a gorey torture porn lol
@@NachoCheeseDorito-Kun look it’s much easier to guilt people into blind faith than it is to portray someone being a genuinely good person making the world a better place.
@@NachoCheeseDorito-Kun this movie is good. It's about the hour of passion of Jesus in a realistic way
I think they got exactly what they were expecting. Hence, they're angry about it and would've preferred Brad & Doug to make fun of a different film.
Santa Christ! Why did Nostlagia Critic betrayed him?! This explains why Santa Christ was angry at Critic and Cinema Snob in the 2016 Christmas crossover.

It absolutely is!
You're right, that does sound weird, and stupid
It is the greatest love story ever told because it's hands down the greatest example of charity. Back when I was agnostic (professed but didn't truly believe), I refused to watch this review. Now that I'm Christian, boy.

I love this review it’s a favorite of mine
+rayray1983 Me, it's always good to see some good old fashioned blasphemy on the Easter weekend.
woah...
Also the Roman elites spoke greek, it was the high society language. It made them feel superior to the common people and the slaves who didn't understand it.
the slaves probably didnt even understand latin so why go to the trouble? and in the republic years maybe, but in the imperial years im not that sure that the patricians kept speaking greek. some of them learned the language but this sounds like too much trouble for nothing.speaking greek in your house in rome sure, your slaves know latin. but in a foreign country? can you tell me your sources please?
apo kos Slaves who were in service long enough would definitely come to learn some form of Latin, likely vulgar, especially if they were servants in a household. Greek was spoken by the elites in the empire similarly to how French was spoken at court by aristocrats all across Europe in Medieval times.
um French? in medieval times? what french? nord occitan? occitan moyen? gascon? there was no unified french language even in the hundred years war.what you have in mind comes much much later
i think he meant to say like 17th century europe
Getting this upset over a critique is unnecessary. Are people not allowed to analyze religious material or view it in a light that does anything other than approve of a belief system? Nothing is above critique/analysis. It can be the difference between faith and blind faith.
Wise words.
thanks for pointing out that Judas was just doing what he was meant to do. i've pondered that before.

I will admit, even when all the Jesus and ancient Roman movies suck they’re sets are at least lovely enough for me to look at them instead of watching the movie
I will stick to life of Brian
***** I like the way you think
I think Gibson saw the bible a little differently then others
This is why I love the south park episode that shows the effect the film had on people and it's end message (i says this as a none religious person)
***** the south park end message not the message of the film
As we all should
***** Yeah I would watch both of those over this Overrated Christfest
OH GOD NOT LIFE OF BRIAN
Deadpool finally broke the highest grossing R-rated record
Take that Passion
It's always the stupid movies that get hundreds of millions of dollars. People have such bad taste nowadays.
the difference is that Passion caused controversy and was ridiculed given it was mad by Mel...Deadpool was the exact opposite and dare say it...a lot more accurate to its source.......
I'd say the ultimate Christmas miracle is that this video isn't age-restricted.
Any people who think he's making fun of Jesus, no, it's a movie. Not Jesus, the movie didn't die for us. I feel like more Christians need to take a joke, they make us look bad lol

2024 is the 20th anniversary of this film. Scaring people for 20 years.
At 16:22 thru 16:26 are two of the stronger VFX shots of the Passion. They took aprox. 2 weeks to make (involved some specialized CGI art work, flail animation, and compositing). And yes, I was part of the team that created those. The curtain tearing sequence was mostly done by Pam K. Vick. Ted Rae directed the FX work.
mattheviewer amazing
I ran through the comments, and all the salty Christians who think Doug and Brad are haters, that their jokes are "inaccuracies," and that one guy who thinks they should be defending this movie... Yeah, I gotta laugh. The Passion isn't exactly a show that's loyal to the source material, beyond it's ulterior motives, and Gibson's version isn't exactly a shining example of it, beyond using the languages. When I saw this movie, I absolutely couldn't stop laughing at the cherry picking of the bible, and the numerous historical inaccuracies. And while I'm hardly that well-versed in the bible, I don't remember things like the demon spawn children, or Satan watching Jesus' torture. Is that something the Catholics added in, did I read the wrong version, or did the Passion add Satan in for image- I don't remember Satan in the version I saw, did they omit it, or did Gibson add it in?!
As a Catholic I apologize for this movies existence. If you want a good Biblical Flick watch the Prince of Egypt.
Prince of Egypt is one of the greatest animated films ever. Even as an atheist I loved it.
I do.
Lol, just kidding.
Or watch The Last Temptation of Christ.
Don't apologize for a man's mistake. I would highly recommend Jesus of Nazareth from 1977.
Jesus of Nazareth (1977) is really good. The super production and the casting is top notch. I'm not even religious and I can appreciate it.
Jesus that movie is brutal
