Netflix Review of Mel Gibson's movie: Passion of Christ, published when it first come out on DVD:

So there was this little independent movie that came out earlier in the year and everyone spoke in these old languages and this one Guy got beaten to a pulp and it made barrels of cash. Actually, there's a fair amount more to that, and hence DVD Verdict proudly presents the Supreme Court Review of The Passion of the Christ.
A small preface before we get started. This website, which we are all very proud of, is unique in the way its Judges approach films. Not content with simple capsule reviews and a list of tech specs, our Judges tease out considerable substance—again, I would remind you that William Hung: Hangin' With Hung was nearly 700 frickin' words long. We, like everyone else, react to these movies based upon who we are, and agree or not with the end results, know that the wellspring of language on this site flows from our personalities. Sure, there are some collective conscious aspects—full-frame sucks, "scene selection" does not count as a bonus feature, and there's not much to love in Rodentz—but who we are certainly shapes what we respond to and how.
The Passion of the Christ, I believe, takes this idea, and augments it by a 1,000 or so. This is a film that lives and breathes—although admittedly with staggered, throaty, bloody breaths—because of its director's intense beliefs. It was crafted out of a worldview, binds itself to it, and as such viewers will inevitable fall upon different sides of it.
So here's the format. A selection of our judges will discuss the film through their particular sets of lenses. This is not a forum for us to foist upon you our views on the world and tell you why or why not you may be destined for Hell/Heaven/Purgatory/Saturn/Nebraska. Understand however, we wish to ground our reactions to the film in who we are and where we're coming from, and frankly, ain't that what makes DVD Verdict, DVD Verdict and why you love us so damn much?
