I liked your first review better.
Haven't seen it. May watch it when it comes out on cable.
Don't really consider myself a Christian any more, but back when I was, the agony of the crucifixion was (IMHO) significant to the story of Christ, but not the central message. While the Roman Catholic Church feels the need to keep him on the cross (amidst the other idols they display), the true miracle of Christ is the resurrection.
