To: killjoy
I came out of it thinking Pontius Pilate should have cruicified all the people involved.

Including Jesus, his mother, and the man who aided him in carrying his cross?

I'm guessing you don't mean that literally, but the statement is coming across as somewhat odd. Not sure exactly what you mean.

I ment Jesus, his followers, the Romans, and the Jews. Jesus comes across as a completely disrespectful madman no different than homeless people I see downtown. His followers come across as people jumping on the latest trend and ready to jump ship when the fashions change. The Romans are portrayed as being sadists for the sake of being sadists (with the exception of Pontius). The Jews in the movie, although I can halfway sympathize with them for the utter disrespect shown to them, need to take a few valiums.

I usually judge a movie by thinking, "If a bomb goes off at the end and kills everyone, would I care?" The answer for this one, with the exception of Pontius, Mary, the guy who helped carry the cross and Monica Bellicci, no.

I believe killjoy meant High Priest Caiaphas and everyone involved in the Sanhedrin's kangaroo court.
