Summary: Trashed by reviewers unjustly
Review: Stigmata may not make it to the hall of fame as the scariest movie of all time, but it did have enough action and special effects to keep you quite riveted. Despite some of the throwback nods towards "The Excorcist" in some scenes, overall I enjoyed this far more than the Sixth Sense which was grossly over rated.

Summary: my review
Review: I was very apprehensive when I first saw this movie, for I thought I would be seeing a scary movie with devils and all.I am glad I was agreeably mistaken! The story does not relate to any scary monster or devil. It actually deals with the finding of a hidden manuscript. You can put together mystery with some history and mix this with good acting, and you have the makings of an interesting movie.

Summary: Rent it with no specific expectation...wonderful movie!
Review: I have to say I really enjoyed this movie. I love movies that move me...emotionally and intellectually. I did not buy this movie with any particular expectation in mind i.e. horror. Instead I just popped it in and watched it and took it in for what it was presenting. I think the people that are disappointed with the movie were labeling it based on other movies. That or they did not want to think about the issues the movie brought up. I don't beleive art has to fit into a specific category to be good. I disagree that the movie is in "identity crisis", rather it created an identity all it's own. Would love for more movie makers to take these kinds of chances!

Summary: The Best Movie To Watch W/ Friends
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed the plot in this movie. I thought that the writer kept the suspense going throughout the movie. I was totally on the edge of my seat the whole time. Once I get enough money together I will definately buy a copy. I think the 7 dollars that I spent to see this movie were well worth it. I absolutely enjoyed the suspense and thrill of not knowing what would happen until the very end.

Summary: Not your typical possession
Review: I found this to be a very intense film. The special effects are fantastic, especially the fire that doesn't consume. The reference to the Gospels of St. Thomas, found in 1949, bases it enough in reality for me. If you're a Christian already, this movie may make you re-think how you worship. If you're not, you may re-think your lack of faith. Oh, and Gabriel Byrne's acting brilliant as usual.

Summary: Missed the HYPE, Found a GREAT Film
Review: Just had this film shipped over to the UK, watched it this evening and was so glad I did. Enjoyed every single minute. Having only seen the trailer once, I ordered the film blind (without checking it out at the cinema). The marketing of the film here in the UK hardly made an impact on me, and I certainly didnt go into the film expecting a millenium update of The Exorcist. Great atmosphere, Nice all round performances - especially Arquette and Byrne, superb direction, editing and soundtrack. DVD has an extremely nice animated menu area - Nice one MGM. Extra`s good too. Well worth purchasing.

Summary: DVD Excellence
Review: First off, Stigmata can't really be compared to the Excorcist (Stigmata deals with possesion by a priest who was trying to convey a new gospel, as with the Exorcist dealt with Satanic possesion), and all of the information regarding the Stigmata is true - just check out the included booklet. The video quality in this title is very well done, and everything comes across as cleanly as you would expect from a dvd (despite no animorphic format). The 5.1 surround is also a plus, as the eerie score comes at you from all directions. In terms of extras, you get an extra ending (which, in my opinion, makes everything fall together better), a music video, and the directors commentary. There are some disturbing images in this movie, and its not perfect in any means - but it is NOT trying to be "Excorcist 2000". Good movie, good quality = great DVD.

Summary: An amazing experience
Review: When I first entered the cinema hall to watch Stigmata for the first time, I had no idea how intense the experience would be. I confess I was expecting a regular exorcist-like drama, but the sotry and its charachters really impressed me, specially Patricia Arquette, as the regular non-catholic girl who's faced with a "miracle" and, of course Gabriel Byrne, as the catholic Father torn between his faith and the mysteries of science. It is definetely a MUST, and one of the best movies of the year.
