Yes, I only watched it today. I really don't comprehend the hype given this movie. Then again, I was never shallow to fall for anything that's shoved down our psyche specially when its from Hollywood (the home of Scientology freaks) I can smell blasphemy a mile away. It was an Indiana Jones meets Pelican Brief meets National Treasure (minus the exciting action scenes) type BOGUS account of JESUS CHRIST's "untold secret life". I was falling asleep a third into the movie getting lost trying to figure out one twist after another. Uh-huh...the movie doesnt even give you time to absorb what just transpired. It goes into another twist and turn within seconds which looks to me like a subconscious but blatant tactic used to confuse even more. (Even my 11 year old son was whispering 'boring' every so often.) If you KNOW of JC but are not a TRUE believer/worshipper you will walk away more confused about the whole 'religion' thing. I read someone's blog re: this movie and she said she was "blessed" to watch it, obviously falling into this seemingly innocent but wicked venus fly trap. It made me a bit sad that she felt blessed by a FICTITIOUS MOVIE?!??!! Was she trying to be spiritual about this distortion? Oh, God, save her soul. What has this world come to?!?!? It reminds me of chickens running around without their heads (thinking they still have it on) or the emperor's new clothes (walking around town with his new robes unseen to the unwise (of course to his demise, he was really naked!)...

I'm assuming they tried to compress all the excitement that went into the paperback which gives me the impression was entertaining (I didn't read it and don't plan to now that I've seen the movie.) Garbage in, garbage out. Why would I waste more time. I only watched it to satisfy my curiosity and I have now put it to rest. Plus I wanted to escape the scorching hundred degree weather.Trust me, laying out at the pool with a good book would have been a better time to spend my Sunday afternoon just as I did on Saturday.

The only upside that I saw with this movie is that it would stir up a curiosity among people to SEEK the truth about JC since this movie is FICTION (ask the Author,he SWEARS by it). And it gives Jesus junkies like me a chance to voice out our opinions on the matter (and we're not doing it enough). I love the first amendment. Watch....

Only a moron, half-wit oblivious to the TRUTH about the Bible will even begin to think that there is validity to this mythical and unethical movie. Oops! Is it politically correct to say unethical since it seems the world is in reverse now!?!? A movie about JC full of lies as compared to Brokeback Mountain...what is unethical these days since we live in a time of moral decay and a "whatever-makes-you-happy-as-long-as-you're-not- harming-someone" attitude?

What amazes me, though, is people's interest and curiosity when it comes to JC evidenced by box office returns. He was always center of controversy anyways which strengthens my belief in his Sovereignity. Why? Darkness loves the dark , is afraid to come to the light and overcompensates by denial, defensiveness, feeling of supremacy (which is really a from of insecurity) oftentimes hostility and violence. Mankind is so in the DARK these days that people HATE having to admit the TRUTH that JESUS and everything He stands for was yes, a man but GOD as well duh! BUT, wouldn't it make us feel better to fantasize that this man revered as GOD is just mere mortal and that he is not divine after all? Remember, misery loves company. It would help nurse our wounds of insecurity wouldn't it? C'mon, let's crucify Him again by reducing him to our level of mortality, if it makes you feel better and gives you a false sense of POWER, temporarily that is. But hey, temporary gratification in exchange for eternal condemnation? I'd rather believe in and revere GOD today according to HIS commandments and die to find that there is no GOD than to live without a regard for God then find out that HE does exist!

"They exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshipped and served the creation rather than the Creator" Romans 1:25

It sure made a lot of money for the producers and the author is laughing his way to his bank but it definitely robbed people's souls in the process. The funny thing is Dan Brown claims to be Christian. All I can say to him is, "Good luck when its your time to face God and he asks you what you did with what he entrusted to you." You have a lot of explaining to do why on earth you would use your writing talents to TWIST the TRUTH about GOD in a FICTION novel even just for kicks. Pretty irresponsible, Mr."Believer".Thats playing with death right there, walking on very thin ice. The confusion it has cost humanity is something you, Mr. Brown, will surely have to answer for when your time comes.

Im pretty sure the Christian community which is slowly waking up to the call to be first century Christians again (brave and bold), will retaliate with a much, much better and accurate account of JC's life. We need more movies like The Passion and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe which were both excellent movies and blockbusters as well, with depth and profoundness of the TRUTH that which liberates us from our bondage from all sorts of SIN.

my recommendations: On my TRUTH-O-METER: A big EGG!! For its overall appeal, forget it, I'll take Indiana Jones anyday. And do yourself a favor. If you watched it or are going to, don't be naive and just accept the movie's subliminal deception. Please take it upon yourself to search the truth from reliable sources so you can be set free like the rest of us!
