It's supposed to be very well done so yeah I'll probably make an attempt to see it. I'm no longer a Christian (not really much for organized religion in general to be honest) but I was raised as a Catholic, and attended Catholic grade school, so I have a very good knowledge of the subject and think it should make for a pretty powerful movie.
EDIT: Saw it tonight, and WOW. Just a great movie, although being that I'm not a Christian my reaction to was a bit different to that of a Christian friend I saw it with. It moved him because it showed the man he considers his Lord and Savior giving his life for his people. I was moved because it showed a good man, who seemed to have some good things to say and has helped millions lead a better life unjustly killed. And the reports of it being graphically violent are true. This is easily the bloodiest movie I've ever seen. I don't consider myself to be all that squeamish and there were several parts that caused me to openly cringe, particularly the scourging (whipping) scenes. Still it's just an amazing movie, I highly recommend it.
