Stigmata

Summary: A great movie with a not-so-happy ending for the church....
Review: I really liked "Stigmata". Please don't view it as a cheap rip-off of "The Exorcist". This movie is not directly related to possession by the devil. It tells the story of Frankie Page. A normal 23 year old who lives a quite modern life. She begins to have frightening "encounters". What's causing these encounters? Watch the movie! For all of the people who think this movie has plot holes, watch it once more, or listen to the audio commentary. It begins to make perfect sense. The tie-in with the gospel is excellent. I truly believe that "The kingdom of God is inside you and all around you. Not in mansions of brick and stone". Watch this movie to find the meaning!

Summary: Don't believe the critics!
Review: This movie is much better than critics would like the public to believe. The movie is the most original movie I have seen in a while. Sure it can be weak at points, and borrows from other fils, but so do all contemporary movies. I amusually a harsh critic on these types of movies, but this one surprised me. Anyone who has "doubts" about organized religion will like the dramatic sub-plot. The stylized cinematography was perfect for setting the mood...

Summary: The deeper meaning of Stigmata
Review: It seems to me that many people are missing out on the deeper meaning of Stigmata. If you have faith in the Christian belief, this movie gives you incite as to what Christ felt before he died. It is scary from that point of view. What is also scary is the fact that there are Gospels that people don't claim. I saw this movie, then picked up a book about the Gnostic Gospels, and some it makes sense. I highly recommend this movie, especially in DVD format, as you get another ending.

Summary: Great Movie. Ending defines what a true christian should be
Review: I found this movie intresting to say the least. and as some reviews stated, I did not find myself asking for more, or syaing thats it? at the end. You have to have open minded about religion. And about how the Catholic church is a fraud, and lies and covers up the truth about the holy word for the purpose of personal gain at the expence of others. SEE THIS MOVIE...

Summary: Stigmata
Review: A thought provoking film that depicts the corruption within the Catholic Church without conscience or concern. Hopefully this film will lead to others that take a theological perspective in addition to the special effects and jump scenes so commonly seen in Hollywood today.

Summary: great movie, but flaw in DVD
Review: I saw this movie in the theater and loved it. Naturally, I bought the DVD, but I noticed that the DVD doesn't have the english subtitles that the theatrical presenation had. I get french subtitles... annoying! I've selected "none" under subtitles thinking that it would just put english subtitles for the few scenes that needed it...

Summary: Didn't scare the hell into me.
Review: The only thing scary about this movie is that people actually went to see it. Don't get me wrong; this movie was good on the basis of its story. However, slogans such as "It will scare the hell into you," theatrical trailers which show all the gruesome parts, and a media that hypes it up to be a scary movie, all combine to make this film a flop that is full of "plotholes." The scenes in which Frankie Paige, played by Patricia Arquette, is being attacked by the stigmata, are hardly scary and are only convincing to a certain degree. The acting is pretty fair, considering the fact that the setting is present day, and I'm sure no one needed a dialogue coach for this. While watching this movie, one might ask themself, "Where's the missing pieces?" Through the entire picture, the story seems as though it's missing something, and I can't put my finger on it exactly but if I did, I would have to wash it. This isn't a scary movie at all, nor is it one I would recommend to those looking for a solid story as it will most likely have you asking at the end, "Is that all?"

Summary: ONE OF THE BEST DVD'S I'VE SEEN IN A WHILE
Review: This movie is for anyone who likes the Matrix or anyone with a really open mind. If you are religous but fairly open minded then you will like this one. I DEFINITELY recommend it to everyone. (ps: not for the faint of heart)
