Jesus, Rewritten: Scorsese’s Sacred Fan-Fiction - The Last Temptation of Christ review by griggs
It’s bold theological fan-fiction: less halo-polish, more human mess. The Last Temptation of Christ is at its best when it treats faith as something you sweat over, not something you pose with — doubt, ego, fear and tenderness all in the same room. It’s shaggy and uneven, though, with scenes that clunk when you want them to cut. Worth seeing, just not quite the revelation it’s chasing.

Some Thoughts - The Last Temptation of Christ review by AJ
I don't know what Marty was thinking casting David Bowie as Pontius Pilate.
I mean, he gives a great performance but you wouldn't think to put Bowie in with the idea he'd be so... understated. Not to say he doesn't fill the screen with his presence in the little time that he has (he is David Bowie), but the Goblin King this is not.
Also I can't get over Harvey Keitel's red hair dye.
