Yeah, I know it's been out for a while now, but I finally just saw it. Despite the abundant use of graphic violence, the film is a powerful masterpiece. Some of the delivery of the lines by actors and actresses needed work, but the film has a lot of style, and I forsee that one day this movie will be regarded amongst the other greats such as Lawrence of Arabia, Citizen Kane and The Shining.
I remember when Kill Bill Vol. 1 was released theatrically, a lot of critics lamblasted its excessive use of blood -- having seen The Passion, the use of blood within the entirety of Kill Bill Vol. 1 probably only amounts to less than 5% of the blood spilled in the The Passion.
