Well, advertizers will be pleased to know that Jesus sells, even gross-out movies: evangelical church groups across the nation are buying tickets for teenagers to view R-rated snuff porn for free.
And there's movie tie-in merchandizing. So after the movie, you can reenact your favorite scenes, like pounding a spike through flesh. Whether recipient or giver, there's hours and hours of bad messy S&M fun for MelGibson fans.

Or, some reviews from (mostly) non-professional film geeks without any agendas to grind. Mostly athiests and agnostics, with a couple Christians thrown in for good measure: here, here, a couple here, here and even one by, of all people, the creator of Earthworm Jim here.
WARNING: A few reviews contain strong language.

Too long. Time yourself while reading aloud the longest of the Gospel passages concerning the period covered by the movie, then subtract that number from the length of the movie.

To answer Synth directly, the film is 126 minutes.
aspectre: Are you going to answer my question, or simply ignore it? You make it sound like this movie killed your puppy or something. You were also trolling the 'More Gibson Oddness' thread in this manner as well.
And we all know events take exactly as long to play out in real life as they do to read. Right? Come on.

The time period the film covers is the 12 hours leading up to Jesus' death on the cross, and a little bit afterwards. Although there are also flashbacks to scenes and events that occurred before this specific period. That's probably where you got the 12 hours from
