The Passion of Christ is just another excuse for modern baptist christianity to impose overwhelmingly biased beliefs on the world.
What an odd thing to say...especially since the likelihood is you (haven't yet or ever will) see it.
I like most movies. I like the entire movie experience...the anticipation based on trailers and promos, the actors, the scripts and ideas and execution, the big screen and good sound, the overpriced popcorn. A movie has to be pretty bad for me not to enjoy it to a certain degree.
I am not one of the people who believe that movies sway the viewer to behave in ways they never would or develop prejudices or desires they don't have. I think the influence of a movie is about the same as the influence of a good book on the reader. Every time a movie comes out like Harry Potter or any number of other movies that cause great upheaval and controversy (especially among churches and the faithful) I think it's stupid. The vast majority of people who go to the movies know that whatever they're seeing is a depiction of either a true or made-up even, and that depiction is completely relative to the people who make the film. Even marginally intelligent people accept what they're seeing knowing that it is a movie, flavored and painted by a bunch of people based on their views and opinions. The “job” of the viewer is to be entertained, and in some cases, learn something.
I would guess that non-Christians will not be flocking to see the movie (although I admit that I might be wrong). I suspect that those who are doubtful of the truth in the story would have no interest in going. Truthfully, I have a problem myself with many fundamental Christians and with certain church groups and teachings. But I am very anxious to see this movie because I have faith that it will be well-done and powerful and also that I can form my own opinions about the way the “facts” are presented. Just like any other movie I would see.
I would be more interested in your thoughts had you said “I saw this movie and this is what I think about it.” than saying something that implies you are judging the movie prior to having seen it.
