 I couldnt agree more on the Mel Gibson bashing aspect of the reason for the negative reviews.

--- End quote ---

Well you could (and should) agree a lot less. There was no Mel Gibson bashing prior to him making this film. The film itself brought on some minor bashing, apparently because it was largely garbage. Gibson didn't have his drug-addled antisemitic tirade caught on tape until 2006 (Passion hit theaters in 2004), and his barely coherent profanity laced admission to knocking his wife's teeth out didn't come until 2009 or 2010. And even since all of these things happened, Gibson starred in (and directed?) The Beaver, which didn't get great reviews, but still fared much better than Passion.

So . . . like . . . maybe there's no conspiracy. Maybe it's just a ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- movie.   :dunno

--- End quote ---

Obviously it would be silly not to appreciate a film because the film was not critically acclaimed. But there's a good chance that you won't appreciate a movie for the same reasons that it was critically panned. You see that.

And in any case, the fact that it was so critically panned, the fact that I know personally quite a few people who saw it and told me it was crap, is proof positive that it is not a movie that can be appreciated by everyone. There simply are many people who are unable to appreciate it. Full stop.
