Summary: stinkmata
Review: All the hype over this being " The exorcist of the nineties " was one fat lie. I actually was looking forward to watching this one but the first fifteen minutes of the show passed and I was already dissapointed. For starters all the information as far as "Stigmata" phenomenon is absolutley false. That's just something the no-brainer producers thought up, the exorcist was based on a true story. The pace of the movie was really slow, so you kept on waiting to see if there is any more to this movie other than watching Pat Arquette going through this spiritual agony. Yawn...Well guess what? There is nothing more. This movie was glorified by " The Exorcist" and that is how it made it's money. In conclusion, "Stigmata" was a very poorly done attempt at resurecting another movie, which has had tremendous success in the 70's and still does today.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Sadly Disappointing
Review: When I saw the trailers for this movie, I thought it would be very good. However, when I saw it I felt as though I was watching an MTV video. This movie was, unfortunately nothing more than a cut and paste movie. The beginning could have been at the end, and the end at the beginning. There was a great lack of any sense of continuity, and the storyline did not seem to make any attempt to reconcile this. Further, this movie seemed to have its own private agenda which it wished to get across, moreso than to make a decent flick. All in all, I was very disappointed and this was one of those many movies that leaves you saying, "at least the special effects were good."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Stigmata
Review: Fantastic Film, worth every penny as we say in the UK. Great script, great acting, great photography, don't think about it just buy it! NOW!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Powerful, powerful stuff!
Review: I was half expecting some cheap version of The Exorcist (whichscared me witless more than 25 years ago) but this is so much moreprofound. No gorefest, no ridiculous cgi, just human weakness and human greed.

So what do you do when you find a new gospel, Jesus' own words at that and one that will attack the church's core? This is the story of an everyday girl (played wonderfully well by Arquette)who becomes possessed and starts to exhibit stigmata. Trouble is that stigmata only appear on the devout and Arquette is an atheist. Along comes Byrne (also great) to unravel the mystery - an ex-scientist turned Father - but he becomes drawn into a cover-up on a massive scale.

The effects are minimal and well done. The story is gripping. The DVD is provided with deleted scenes and an alternative ending (which I preferred) along with a music video.

This is an excellent movie, haunting, thought provoking and well played. Whatever your religious disposition you should watch it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: PRAYERS ARE NOT ENOUGH
Review: THIS MOVIE KEPT ME WONDERING AND ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT THRU TO THE END. THE SPECIAL EFFECTS AND ALL. I'M A REGILIOUS PERSON AND IT REALLY MADE THINK. YES THIS IS NOT A MOVIE FOR EVERYONE. BUT SHOULD BE SEEN BY AS MANY POEPLE AS POSSIBLE. IT IS A GREAT SUSPENCE. GABRIEL BRYNE IS THE SAVIOR IN ALMOST ALL HIS MOVIES. HE WAS GREAT IN "MAN IN THE IRON MASK" HE REALLY MAKES HIS ROLES BELIEVABLE. I WONDER IF THE STIGMATA REALLY EXSISTS? HAS ANYONE EVER HAD THE ALL 5 WOUNDS OF CHRIST? IS THERE A POSSIBILITY?

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Decieving
Review: This movie offers a great deal of true and interesting information, but while you are watching it you must be sure to depict what is true and what is fiction. Make sure you are paying attention to this movie so you don't get the wrong ideas in your head. Also remember that contrary to what this movie makes you believe, it is a movie and nothing more.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A MOVIE THAT MAKES YOU THINK
Review: I just saw the DVD version of this movie-INCREDIBLE! The cinematography and soundtrack both outstanding. It's great to see something different as far as a story-line. Stigmata really makes one think. I liked the alternate and real endings-great finishing touch for an outstanding DVD. JUST BUY IT!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Movie
Review: Well worth buying. The Alternate ending and the deleted beginning scenes are best viewed first, then see the original(theater) ending separately. A few of the deleted scenes are good also, as they help to fill in a few parts a bit better. Only downfall was not expanding on the lost scriptures of St. Thomas But all in all a great Movie

Rating: 3 stars
