The thing I'm most interested in is not what the Pope in Vatican II said or whatever revisionist histories may be out there, but rather what the New Testament says happened.
If indeed there are Jews who are responsible for the death of Jesus Christ (and I still have so much to learn about the Bible) then that in no way condemns all Jews or even holds responsible jews today, does it? As somebody's already pointed out, Jesus was Jew, his followers were Jews, his lineage is the Old Testament Jews (David, Solomon, etc) but in any case there was also a Jew follower of Jesus that was in great part responsible for his death - Judas, who betrayed Jesus.
I don't know what the movie portrays, but if it's Biblically accurate, then I can't find fault with it.

It comes around to the way the jews are being portrayed in the movie. The
movie is purporting to be biblically accurate, but it is representing the
outdated views of a Catholic sect that apparently has a bone to pick. Which
is why there is controversy, which answers the question posed by Matt.

> Well, it was either the Jews or the Romans. Maybe it was the Chinese, but
I'll take my risks. But the point I was tyring to make was why the words
"jew" had to be in there. it's like saying "Thomas, who is an Arabian man
and plays golf and listens to rap and is 6 feet tall, called me today".
Like what the heck does that have anything to do with it.
