I thought they were melodramatic and over-the-top. I thought that Monica Belluci was terrible (was it a priest from the Vatican that said Sarah Jessica Parker showed more emotion on Oprah when talking about "Sex" than Belluci did through the whole movie?
He was right...). I thought the use of the "devil" was laughable. The music was predictable and manipulative (the movie would've had a greater impact without ANY music). And I thought his slow-motion camera shots were also manipulative. It was as if Gibson was trying to nudge the audience and say "See, this is the part where you should look somber or look pained at this moment..." I thought it was just cheesily made
as a film. I'm not talking about what I found distasteful in the film when it came to the story aspects because we'd be here all night arguing to no avail, so I'm simply commenting on the movie.
