I have chosen to add user comments on this film based on its worthiness as a film, not from any religious or secular viewpoint.
As a piece of filmmaking, this is two hours of garbage. There is no attempt to frame the violence within a meaningful context - it seems to just be 110 minutes of violence for violence's sake, bookended at the beginning and end by five minutes of quiet. I cannot imagine taking anyone under the age of 13 to this film and not scarring them for life. There are no redeeming qualities whatsoever within this movie.
There are, no doubt, thousands of people that will disagree with my comments, and I ask them to consider this point - if this were the same film, but was not about the central figure of your religion, would you go see it? Would you even want it to be released? Would you feel comfortable letting your children see it?
I think not.
