But I think Mel still has a long way to go before I ever waste my time or money on one of his films.

This is a person who has lashed out at women and Jewish people and his "comeback" film is about glorifying a pacifist Christian man?

It's hard for me to believe this new movie is anything more than just another sideways mirror for Mel to glorify and justify himself.
