I agree, too.

In addition to the comments about the Blessed Mother, I don't think she would have lost control and wept so vociferously like this woman.  I think she would have been crying silent tears, showing strength and long-suffering in the carrying of her cross.

Again, the creepy kids (actually devils) driving him to despair -- kind of out of place.
Matthew, I agree with your first 3.5 dislikes, but I liked the imagery above.  I imagine after Judas betrayed Our Lord, that he went stark, raving mad.  So I thought the kid devils that spurned him on to despair were manifestations of his spiritual insanity.  I also thought it showed the dichotomy between St Peter, who told Our Lady his sin of denial and was eventually healed, while Judas isolated himself after his sin of betrayal and despaired.

Agree, these were a clever depictions of evil.

For all its faults, it took a lot of fortitude to even attempt to make such a movie in Hollywood.  How many people watch this movie on good Friday every year?  Think of all those people who otherwise would never, ever, spend even one second thinking about His passion; not on one single drop of blood He spilled for us.
Give credit where credit is due.
