As a Protestant, none of it made any sense to me at all on the level of Religion or Faith. It seemed like one of those big budget 'History Channel' re-enactments of an important moment, with a big focus on the violence, for what I can gather are reasons of ratings, and that's it. Without offending anyone who liked it, it seemed to almost offensive to me.

It had an obvious focus on the suffering of the Christ, then the victory. It's obviously Catholic derived.
If you've not had the experience, I strongly recommend attending a Stations of the Cross in a Catholic cathedral on a Good Friday if possible. You'll see what the movie is derived from far better, and the Catholics know how to put on a good show.

Well I guess that's a show worth seeing then ...

I reckon so. It was interesting and well done. I suppose they've had a thousand plus years to practice though.
I was mainly there for the Aramaic.
