Hey thanks for your review...
I have not seen it yet.
Though I have seen lots of clips of it. And found it interesting that he shot the movie with the actors speaking aramaic or Latin with subtitles..
That he had the actor that played christ speak the language that christ actually spoke is a plus.
Like so many movies, I will more than likely wait till it comes out on dvd.
