SPOILERS THROUGHOUT!
I have seen this movie a few months ago and I must admit that never in my life have I seen such a distorted image of the New Testament.
Jesus is showed as a human only. Judas is not a traitor, but someone who waits for Jesus saving his people from the Roman oppression. In fact, he observes Pilate judging Jesus and shouts: "Show your power now"
Jewish Pharizees do not do any harm to Jesus. It is the Pilate who forces Judas to give him Christ since he is afraid of rebellion and "sick ideologies."
The truth was totally different. I don't know what Mertes aimed at by distorting the New Testament so seriously.
The fact is that anybody who will watch it and does not know the Bible much, he/she will feel confused.
If you are going to see this movie, read the Bible first, please. And you shall see how far the movie is from the truth (of course if you consider the Bible as the utmost truth). For those who do, this movie is unacceptable.
