Benjo, it is not true to the Gospels.

Is there supposed to be something in it that contradicts the Gospels? Even the Pope (in the latest version of the story) said of the Passion, "it is as it was."

there is nothing in the film which contradicts the gospels. i'll stand on that.

there might be historical elements which are debatable and for which our preferences are derived from non-biblical sources.

about these there is room for debate, as has taken place here today.

but about this be certain: nothing in the film contradicts what the Bible says. And just for good measure, I will add what Mel told our group when someone said that the film was historically inaccurate when the underlying "inaccuracy" was actually something in the gospel text.
