Yeah, that about sums up my own conclusion, which was: okay, but not great. I have no particular desire to see them again.

I didn't find the Messiah images offensive, but they seemed awfully heavy-handed and unnecessary, partly because it's such an obvious direction to take. I kept thinking of the last half-hour or so of Braveheart.

I can't say that I consciously noticed the lack of non-Caucasians in the film, but then the whole thing seemed somehow so plastic and unreal that I'm not really surprised.
