I think I saw this post this morning and I wanted to comment but I was like nah, I won't watch it anyways cos what other story do you want to tell that you named it part 2. Fucking dumbos
Well they have some story to tell, the one of Jesus' resurrection. How an angel came to remove the stone, those he met, how he met his disciples, how he proved to them he is Jesus etc, generally, it's going to be one big bore fest. Lol

I am not supposed to even laugh at this but the thought of this has me in stitches 😂😩. Like seriously, how will a sequel to "The Passion of Christ" even work?. The replies to the tweet are cracking me up 😂☠️.

Hollywood is so down bad at the moment, sequels and reboot here and there....They might actually need AI faster than they think, at this rate to write out screenplays for them fgs 😩
Back when I heard about this, I think it was titled The Resurrection of Christ. Maybe they're still workshopping the title

I don't think this will be as gritty as the first movie and I don't see how they'll top that twist but it definitely does look like a good time.

50 Cent, Pablo Schreiber and Ice Cube's son are part of a gang that want to rob a bank. Gerard Butler and his partner are cops on their tail. Butler eventually gets to Cube Jr and turns him to an informant.
50 and gang carry out the op but their gang dies in the resulting shoot out except for Cube Jr who it turns out was the real mastermind all along. He escapes to the UK with the loot and Gerard Butler was still looking for him at the end of the movie

I'm sorry too say but you're just being ignorant🤷🏽‍♂️ if you've watched the first movie and do a bit of research, you'd know Mel Gibson has been working on a script for a sequel for 10 years and already had an idea the time The Passion came out. The movie would be about the events before, during and after the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. The writers of the movie has written Oscar winning movies and had never written a bad movie EVER!
People always hate on Mel Gibson but no one ever talks about how he has never made a bad movie yet.
I'm totally looking forward to this movie🙏. People always make fun of Christian movies and I'm not surprised🤷🏽‍♂️

I think what is actually the dumbest thing is believing the Story of Jesus Christ has an end.

Even though there's already a plot - the screenplay can be about any thing. You guys act like making adaptations from a finished book like Lord of the Rings is ok but from the Bible is dumb??🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

The only reason Mel Gibson never made a Resurrection sequel is because of the controversy surrounding his personal life and the difficulty in writing a screenplay for a vastly told story and bringing it visually has been a daunting task for him.

I can't believe you guys think telling a biblical story is dumb🤦🏽‍♂️ when the first movie ONLY covered just 12 hours before his crucifixion and his death.

Sorry the story of Jesus Christ will bore you, you've heard it a thousand times so I'm not surprised. But a great screenplay never bores no matter how many times you've heard it. I read the Lord of the rings books a thousand times before I ever got to watch the movie anr it never bores me whenever I watch it. If the screenplay is creative enough - it'd never bores anyone - that's why some movies are called classics

Before you start crying answer this; what does "Passion of Christ" mean?

There are thousands of stories in the Bible you can pick from and nobody will complain, if they wanted to do a remake then just come out and do it and not say it's a sequel.
Part 2 my foot.

Except the director and the studio never said it's a sequel, get your facts right Queen! Do you actually think an independent studio will drop the name 'Passion of the Christ' - a project that made them a profit of more than half a billion because of grifters on Twitter - if they're making a movie about Jesus Christ - why would they drop the name 'Passion' when it can even mean something else.
A director, writer and producer of a film who has been working on a script for 10 years to tell a different story of Jesus Christ would drop the name that'll give his movie instant recognition because he wants to please internet grifters and people who don't care about the story of Jesus Christ.
The people who actually care don't mind it at all🤷🏽‍♂️ unfortunately for you guys. They're mostly glad they'd see another blockbuster about their Saviour once again🤷🏽‍♂️

Queen, Mel and Caviezel have had countless interviews about the movie and it's even on wikipedia and if you can't call a movie that made 600 million plus on a 30 million dollar budget a blockbuster in the early 2000s - maybe you don't know anything about movies

Pull your head out of your àss and stop been overly dramatic and emotional like a pre puberty teen. If you were able to discern and construe the intent of the post and follow up comments, you'd know it had some sarcastic undertone to it being that nobody wants to see a sequel to "The Passion of Christ" or "The Resurrection of Christ" as you'd want to call it, in 2024!. The story has been told countless times over!, there are other stories to tell. The main takeaway being that all the sequels and remixes of movies from yester years that is a trend in Hollywood, points to the fact that there is a brain drain in terms of screen writing, if not why would an acclaimed Oscar winning screen writer still be banging on about probably one of the most well known story in history?.

I seriously doubt you care about movies and you mostly likely just see them for clout, but me, i do seriously care, and this year, I can't confidently count 10 movies of very high quality i have enjoyed, because the whole year has been riddled with nostalgic fare, that excites very little, and another one is been planned for a movie that came out 20 years ago, and you said i should lap it up because it's a Christian movie? Please be for real!!.

Moreover, no one wants to see a Christian movie about a story that holds such significance in Christendom from a man riddled with controversies that go against the very tenets of the faith and it's not like the first movie it's self was smooth sailing, it has been called out severally for been antisemitic and for various historical inaccuracies. There are countless movies around this theme that do great justice to it or simply just read your Bible 😩.

It's a good thing to thoroughly think before you spew any rubbish to avoid making badly informed statements especially in a fora like this, you might look like a dunce thereafter if not.

😂Wow, and I actually thought you were the smart one here. I won't trade insults with anyone here all because I'm trying to make a valid point - it'll be asinine and 'pre-teen like' to do that.
You are simply just ignorant about how the business of Hollywood works right now. In your statement - you believe the story of the resurrection of Jesus Christ has been overtold?😂 That's actually very very untrue esp in Hollywood. If you count how many Christian movies in the last 10 years has recounted the resurrection of Jesus Christ - you won't count 5! That's not because it has been overtold but because Hollywood wants it to be ignored - no director or writer wants to make a 'Jesus' film because it'll hurt their career🤷🏽‍♂️ except you're already a well established director that can do whatever you want
To real Christians - the story of Jesus can never be overtold esp in a time where there's a big decline in the adherence to Christianity esp here in the US - most people don't know much about the resurrection I can tell you that🤷🏽‍♂️ and to those who do - it's a welcome development to actually see it on a big screen after a long time.
The people who you see making fun of the idea of a Jesus Christ movie on X are not the intended audience and they're likely not to even watching if it's any other Christian movie.
You said people don't want to watch a Christian movie. I can't tell you how excited Christians in the US are to watch a Christian movie from a well-acclaimed director in Hollywood. You forget Twitter is not a real place - people in Missouri, the deep South will definitely watch because it's nostalgic🤷🏽‍♂️ and they haven't watched a Christian movie on a big screen since no Christian movie has opened in >1500 theatres in years

The story of Jesus Christ is bigger than what you know. The reason why anyone can claim to be bored of it is simply because the person rejected Jesus. Jesus appears in almost every passage of the bible, right from Genesis to Revelation. Only his own can see him in those pages.

Most people don't even know that after Jesus died, he went to hell fire to suffer for our sins before God resurrected him and brought him back to life. Mel Gibson might explore that.

Leave that dude alone, let him go watch spiderman. Christians will watch a movie that honours Jesus. And definitely, non-christians will also watch it and be moved to know more about Jesus.

I remember playing The Passion of The Christ for two of my Muslim cousin sisters. They were moved to tears and shaking. Today they attend church.

The nigg* is saying the story of Jesus Christ is overtold when in actuality it's in decline, not everyone understands the resurrection right now- most people in the United States have never EVER read the Bible or go to church so it'll definitely be new to a lot of people in a time when no one wants to make Christian movies or talk about Jesus because they'll cringe - it's what the Devil will definitely say- 'the gospel is so overtold'🤦🏽‍♂️ when it definitely isn't!
Most people don't even know the influence of the Passion of the Christ when it came out - children were giving their life to Christ - it prompted massive pilgrimages to Israel at the time and people coming out publicly to declare their faith.
Why not capture that essence again when the message is in decline through the visual telling of the resurrection that no one has ever captured on a grand scale in Hollywood. People forget everything in the first movie only happened for 12 hours

I can't believe I wasted 7gb to download breaking bad all because I want a thrilling crime story after watching money heist.


Still on S1 E3 but mhen I can't continue.

Money Heist - 8.0

Prison break - 9.5

Game of thrones - 8.0 ( I just finished this one yesterday.

Deadpool and Wolverine- 9.9/10

It came, it saw, it delivered.

Cameos- 9.9/10
Action- 9.9/10
Jokes- 9.9/10
Soundtrack- 9.9/10

The movie delivered as promised. You get Deadpool and Wolverine bouncing off each other. The plot was able to tie-in both the previous Marvel universe films and TV shows (ehem, Loki) while keeping it simple.

The writers for this movie deserve praise.

DC fans, hide yourself in SHAME!!!


In other news, I think Madonna is a good sign for me and movies. My favourite movies always have a Madonna song- Die Another Day, Snatch, and now Deadpool & Wolverine.


Deadpool - 2.5/10


Ryan Reynolds is a silly actor. The funny thing is that I love him in other movies but Deadpool?


Nah . He overdo his jokes.


Even the action's wack.
