Seen it.
It was a very powerful movie. It's nice how it's in Latin and Aramaic. It gives you a good idea of what it might have really sounded like.
I don't think it's too violent in the sense that it makes its point. The scene where he's whipped and beaten is one of the hardest to watch because you can hear everything. And when they nail Him to the cross, you can hear the nail going through the flesh.......very, very disturbing for me.
I cried the entire last half, just a strem of tears. Just seeing what he went through really hit me deep inside and made me think. My belief has only been strengthened. Where I had doubt, it no longer exists. Just seeing the crucifixion made me realize what He went through. I lost all my worries for the moment and when the movie ended, I just stared at the screen for about 5 minutes in awe.
But like I said, it made its point. Good movie.
Even if you don't believe, it still makes a good movie to see.

Then go home and watch "Life of Brian" to laugh to make up for all the disturbing images you had just seen.:P
