I wanted to go see it...I'm not religious at all but I'm always interested in theological debates and conversations (being raised the son of a former priest will do that to you). There's a problem though. I've made this attempt since I was younger to watch as many horror movies as I can. Now whenever I see violence that's really over the top I just start laughing. Even during serious movies. I swear it's involuntary, but I don't wanna be in a packed theater and laughing while Jesus gets his ass kicked by the Romans. As for the anti-semitist angle...I don't know why people are bitching. Mel Gibson (while being a terrible actor) is a traditionalist christian so he's pretty much taking the bible word for word. In the bible the jews were ultimately responsible for Jesus' death. If they wanna get pissed at anyone, get pissed at the bible. Don't get pissed at the guy who read it.
