I don't understand what the fuss is about, unless someone is billing this as a documentary (good way to kill sales). Personally, I think this is another must-miss.

I couldn't agree more. Hollywood has made lots of movies presumably depicting historical events, and many of those movies has been about more recent events that are much better documented than the happenings around Jesus life (if indeed he did exist). Hollywood freely use historical events in the same manner as the old chronicle tellers did during the Medieval times, ie to entertain the reader/viewer with a good story, to make funny or interesting points, and sometimes for political purposed to convey a certain image of an event.

A must-miss for sure! (good expression @Sojourner) If I was interested in a particular person's view of Jesus life, that person would certainly not be Mel Gibson
