I've heard that it's good but sad, and I've heard that it's absolutely godawful (pardon the pun), so. If you don't mind spending the money, why not go see it?

well, my main worry is that, well, it's a Mel Gibson movie about Christ, and having read some of Mr Gibson's views on Christianity, morality, and the position of women in society, I a) have my doubts about the correct/positive portrayal of Maria Magdalena, one of my favourite characters in the New Testament, and b) am somewhat worried that I'm going to have to leave for fear of vomiting and/or get thrown out because I won't be able to stop muttering under my breath.

I've heard that it's almost entirely based on the Roman Catholic interpretation of the Bible, and stays pretty much true to RC form.

*no help whatsoever*

Actually, that was a lot of help, because while I dislike the Roman Catholic Church and its views, they're at least familiar, so I know what to expect, now. :)

Well yeah, Mel Gibson is Roman Catholic. :)
