Passion of the Antichrist

Rating: 1/10 (19 March 2007)

This is in my book one of the worst movies ever made ... down there with the gore spewing, plot-less "Passion of the Christ" only this time we're supposed to root for the war-worshipers instead of the Peace Maker. Except that there's no reason to care about any of them. Past the adrenaline, these warriors are one-dimensionally boring. Perhaps wooden block-head dialogue like "I've filled my heart with hate..." "Good..." looks interesting hand lettered in a graphic novel, but coming out of human actors' mouths on screen, it's eye rolling.
I couldn't stop thinking that these thong-wearing, pierced, waxed heavies should just have a gay orgy and get it over with instead of taking up blood lust as substitute. The audience laughed involuntarily at first sight of S&M poster-boy Xerxes.
Not to mention this movie is pure propaganda from the let's-go-to-war-with-Iran-it'll-be-glorious crowd. Fanning the flames of "kill, kill, kill" at this critical time in our nation's life is to my view sinister. We will suffer greatly if we go to war with Iran as the administration is planning right now. Save your money -- you're just paying to be brainwashed.
