I just saw the movie and am rather pleased with it cinimatically. Great performances and good cinematography. The violence may seem over the top to some, but I actually thought it add more emotion and drama to the film. Unlike the previous reviewer I think this film contains a lot of emotional depth.
I would concider this film above average, bot necessarly multi-oscar winning material. The story was pretty powerful and unlike the previous review, I am sure a non-beleiver could easily follow this film(I am Agnostic and i didn't have any problem), and like the overall experience.
I thought the use of dead languages was a good decision, and I almost agree with Gibson, that subtitles shouldn't have been used. But in some parts it would be really hard to understand what meaning the dialogue had.
"Visually its glorious with Caleb Deschanel's poetic cinematography and the utilitarian production design giving us something striking but never too grandiose." - he knows big words, listen to HIM. Poetic Cinematography? Those words don't even go together. Just another dumbass untalented critic.
Edit - And the Gore? This movie has nothing on the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan. I don't think it distracts the viewer from the strong meaning of the film.
