Does anyone know when it is released in the UK? I think it's around the end of March, but I can't find an exact date.
I'm planning on watching it. I'm a bit unsure about my reaction, I don't cry much (felt no need to do so in RotK), so that won't be a problem. I'm more worried that it won't bother me at all and that I won't even flinch, hopefully I'm only sadistic when it comes to Aragorn and Legolas.

*cheers* Well, I know what insult I'm using if needed!
(And I plan to move up to Scotland as soon as cash flow allows, so then it'll be official! Yay!)

He did a great job. I am Christian but non practising. I felt it was a story telling rather than a 'bible bashing'
Thats my opinion

ok, so I came in on this one late, sorry gals (and any guys out there)! I saw the movie yesterday... no wait, em ... two days ago and I thought it was very well done. The acting was great, as was the directing... though there were a few places where I didn't understand what was going on, for the most part it was a really good movie. Em... its not the kind of thing you can go see again and again though ... its pretty intense. Yeah, I cried too...  but really it was worth the go, whether you are a christian or not, since for the most part it follows canon and the story is great. Oh, and anyone who has seen it, can you explain the whole Satan being a woman, and the demon/baby thing... I didn't get it.  Anyway... I reccommend the movie gals... though there is COPIOUS amounts of blood ...  |

Folks made a big fuss over LoTR, too. 
I think I'll see the film. Staged violence doesn't bug me a bit; I think Tarantino is a genius and I own Pulp Fiction on DVD. I wonder if the violence in this particular movie serves as an excuse for folks who have other, less politically correct, problems with it. |

I did think it was rather strange at how objections to the level of violence in movies and at the rating system suddenly peaked at the hoopla around 'The Passion'. It irked me that the sudden appearance of a R-rated film about Christianity was the instigation, and not such movies as 'Pulp Fiction' or 'Braveheart' (much as I like them both). For the widely publicized film critics to decry 'Passion' as 'pornographic' in its level of violence and not turn the same harsh words to the above films...makes me wonder about what they're truly attempting to decry.
Regards,

Ooops...was there a fuss made over the violence in Braveheart?
I'm sorry, I admit I was rather young when it came out and was not allowed to see it...
Sorry,

I don't want a translation. That sounds so deliciously naughty. |

There's an article on the Beeb's website quoting some clergyman in Newcastle (UK) saying that Lord of the Rings is more religious than The Passion. It at

It also says that the film opens on 26th March in the UK.
