There was another thread with stills from the movie. It will be very graphic and I think it needs to be so that we can all understand Christ's suffering. That being said, the pictures gave me second thoughts about taking my two boys. They have seen blood and gore in movies but I believe this will be a very emotional experience for many viewers (I hope so anyway). I'll take my oldest son but probably get the video for home viewing.

I wonder what kind of rating it will get if it's very brutal?

Crucifixtion, originally conceived somewhere in the Middle East, and typically refined by the Romans, as they did with everythng they adopted, to the hights of perfection, was VERY brutal and I can't imagine this getting anything but an X- rating.

Gibson seems to be fixated with having himself done away with in the most revolting manner in historical roles.
I am a history buff myself, but enjoy reading about politics, military operations, battles, weapons, etc. Methods of execution are not really something I enjoy reading about or viewing.
