I think that any movie that tackles the Bible or contains a religious plot is bound to draw criticisms from at least some subset of the population. To me,this is just the nature of religion. It can be interpreted in so many different ways, and it is impossible to create a portrayal that will appeal to every member of the audience. I think it's up to people to choose whether or not they want to watch something that could potentially be controversial.
