Mel Gibson is responsible for all the wars of the world.

I just decided he's guilty, so he is. I figure the logic is equally valid to his blaming "the Jews." I mean, what Jews is he even talking about? Aunt Ellen? Uncle Mark?

What a dirtbag Mel is. I don't care if he made the Lethal Weapon movies. He also made Signs, which I've decided is unforgivable. Then he made The Passion Of The Jesus and proved himself completely bonkers.

For your fun and mine, I will now make a categorical comparison between his movie and another one I saw about the saviour of mankind.

  • Hero saves the day in magnificent glory. +1

  • Hero dies slowly for 2.5 hours. What kind of story is that? +0

  • Is not meant to be factually accurate and isn't. +1

  • Is meant to be factually accurate and isn't. +0

  • I'm not saying that I didn't not have an orgasm during the new Superman, but.........Okay, I came.+1

  • The audience gasped, turned away, put on deeply sad and angry faces, and moved in all sorts of uncomfortable ways. Some people yelled at the screen. Two women cried in the row in front of me. It almost seemed that this film hurt, not just me but, a lot of people.+0

  • Features surprise performance from Peta Wilson +1

  • Contains no surprises. Everyone knew the ending in advance. +0

  • Uses special effects to show scenes people have been waiting to see since the comic book was written in 1938. +1

  • Uses special effects to show people the bloodiest version yet of a story that's caused suffering (to any who don't "accept it") for almost 2000 years now. +0

  • Has Kevin Spacey. +1

  • Lacks Kevin Spacey. +0

  • Does not specifically depict Jews at all. No inaccurate depiction of Pontius Pilate transpires. +1

  • Depicts Jews as filthy snakes. In one scene, the devil walks amongst them. In several others, shows random Jewish torture of Jesus not even mentioned in the New Testament (which was itself written past AD 70). Shows Pontius Pilate to be intelligent and thoughtful, though in fact he was a cold-hearted murderer. +0

  • Contains very little blood in one or two scenes, tastefully shown. +1

  • Is the bloodiest, goriest movie I've ever seen. Not ten minutes go by without the splattering of blood or graphic display of torture. +0

  • Is an excellent action movie. +1

  • Offers no form of entertainment whatsoever. Last I checked, that's why people go to the movies. This wasn't a comedy, suspense, or a drama. There were no jokes, and the development was blunt and uninteresting. +0

  • Musical score kicks ass. It's so good. It's definitely a large part of the arousal. +1

  • Couldn't notice music over The Jesus screaming. +0

Final Score: 10/10

Final Score: 0/10

 

  
You lose, Mel.
