I'd say that 90% of today's Jews have about as much in common with the Jewish elite in Roman-controlled Jerusalem in 20-30AD as Ozzy Osborne does Pat Roberson, for the most part.
Given that I think both are nuts, that may not have been the best example...
From what I've heard from one of my wife's friends who attended an advance screening, it's not anti-semitic at all; at least no more than any burger shop that sells certain meat products on particular days of the week. Those of the Jewish faith would be doing themselves a serious favor by shouting down the idiots in their ranks that are claiming such; I know it's difficult for zealots in any religion to realize that their personal beliefs aren't the center of existance for a VAST number of other individuals on this planet...
I'm seeing it this weekend as I'm very interested in the historical accuracy of it (count the number of movies in existance spoken totally in Latin and Aramaic on your hand, for starters) not to mention what kind of personal connection I can make with it as a rather flawed and outwardly lukewarm Christian. I know the story from a Christian perspective and a historical perspective (the Romans were viscious SOB's to ANYONE that threatened their rule); I'm anxious to see how well this movie bridges both.
