Particularily the potential for so-called anti-semitism... (check the news section for articles regarding the movie, and do Google searches).
I personally can't wait to see it, and I praise Mel Gibson for not making the movie PC by minimalizing the Jews role in the event. I was watching some moron on the TV today who was saying that the film was anti-semitic because it sticks to the biblical account of the event in which the angry Jewish mob basically bullies Pilate into having Jesus crucified. The guy that was being interviewed on TV (I can't remember his name) was saying that he should have changed some of the details so that it didn't seem like the Jews were being blamed for Jesus' death. This is the biggist load of hogwash I've ever heard. First of all, since I believe the Bible to be infallable, I believe that that's how it happened, and if that's how it happened, then that's how it should be portrayed. Second, the Jews had nothing to do with "causing" Jesus' death. Jesus was destined to die. His purpose on Earth was to live a perfect life and then die (both physically and spiritually), therefore paying the penalty for our sins. I think that rather than look at the Jewish mob and think, "Wow, look at those evil Jews" we should look at the Jewish mob and think, "Wow, look how Satan can corrupt the hearts of men," and furthermore, "Wow, look how God's power is evident, even when Satan thinks he's getting his way."

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
