Like someone else who suffered for the good of others, Mark Morford of SF Gate has taken one for the team:
I have seen the movie. I have endured the spectacle so you don’t have to. Here, then, are some counterthoughts. Nine random points of spiritual contention and pointy perspective check, a small pile of juicy karmic stones to toss at the next utterly depressing screening of ‘The Passion’ and perhaps at Mel Gibson’s very sad and deeply tormented ego.
Why? Because he deserves it. Why? Because this is not a movie. It is a sad phenomenon. It is a gross spiritual emetic. It is, clearly, a cry for help.

In his usual hyperbolic, over-the-top fashion, Morford dissects Gibson’s hyperbolic, over-the-top movie. Required reading.
