I voted "once was enough". I liked the film, but it's not something that I would want to see again in the short term. It's too emotionally grim for me to see it repeatedly while in theaters.

I have seen the film three times to date. Once on my own to prepare myself, and twice as a counselor/answer man for church sponsored screenings (one for general crowd, one for a university faith group). I would see it again if asked by a friend or group to help provide context or information (either historical and Biblical).

I will pay to see it once and then wait for the dvd to buy.
I'll buy the soundtrack now.

I've only seen it once so far, but am hoping to see it again while it is still on the big screen.

I saw it by myself yesterday and do plan on going to see it again with my dad and sister. It was quite an experience and I will go back to share that with my family.

And the cinematography was stunning.

Its amazing how dead even this poll stays. Even now, of the 50 who saw it, 25 will see it again. Almost everytime I check it, it is running neck and neck. 50% repeat business is very high and bodes very well for this film's longevity. (I realize of course this forum is not exactly representative of the general populace )

I'm betting that even some of those who said "once was enough" might relent Easter weekend (depending on their faith).

I would've preferred an "I don't know" or "I'm not sure" option, because that's really my position. However, I think I may end up going with my parents tonight.

Well, I personally have no intention to see this film again. But I get the sense now, with 10 miillion on monday, that repeat business on this movie will be...big. Funny, this movie just blew away all expectations..I say hurrah, good for it.

No fence-sitters allowed .

Actually, you're right. I just didn't think about it.

I voted "once was enough" but only because I don't see myself going to the theatre again, but I will be buying the dvd to view it at home. For me its saying something that I actually went to to the theatre to see it, besides LOTR and a few exceptions I usually wait for dvd releases.....now that I'm thinking about it, if the smaller more local theatre near me (that doesn't get movies until they've been out for awhile) gets it I may go again if I could get somone to go with me, there's no way my gf could watch it again....

Guess I'll bump this up in case anyone who saw the movie this weekend for the 1st time wants to vote. I think its pretty clear now that I was wrong and this film will get repeat business but I am interested in how this poll ends up. Its still just about dead even.
