It is too well made and was way too popular to simply dismiss, and that's why it was so controversial. The soundtrack is criminally underrated by itself.
You can't fault the direction because the minimal dialogue leads to a more visual story. You can't fault the dialogue and line delivery because it's not even in English. Both the absurd accusations of antisemitism (in a movie where almost all the characters are Jewish), and the hypocritical criticism of the violence (there are only TWO sequences in the movie that are a bit difficult to watch, and the first happens around 50 minutes in) are overblown and hyped up because these are the only criticisms people can latch on to. Gibson could have toned everything down, but then would have been met with apathy or mockery. which is precisely why so many people can't handle it.
