I'm looking forward to seeing film.

I've read a lot of the criticism of the film by some commentators, and especially by different Jewish groups.

What I find the most interesting is that they don't say the film is inaccurate, but that it makes Jews looks bad, and that they are afraid of negative reactions (towards Jews) of those after seeing the movie.

Some have also called Mel Gibson anti-semetic.

I don't get it.

If he is portraying the story exactly as it is presented in the Bible, how does that make him anti-semitic.

Even the Pope saw the film and liked it, remarking that it was incredible, and that, "...it is as it was".

BTW, as a disclaimer, I am a Christian, and my sister has converted to Judaism.
