I suspect that people who complain that the movie is too violent, are somewhat ignorant of the facts of life. I want to ask them, what do you think you'd look like after a few hours of scourging and crucifixion? Oversensitive dilettantes. I'm perfectly aware that open-heart surgery is a bloody, disgusting mess too, but that doesn't mean that I'd want to watch such a procedure for a couple of hours.

Then don't watch open-heart surgery. No one is compelling you to either watch that, or the Passion.
But complaining that a realistic depiction of Roman execution is "too bloody" makes about as much sense as complaining that a realistic depiction of open-heart surgery is "too bloody".

And you have a choice not to watch. But why would you critique something that you wouldn't watch.

Actually, open heart surgery is not very bloody. They divert the circulation to the machine.
