This film is very multi layered that many will miss the point of the movie.
One way to see this is a satire on people, particularly black people with little to no faith in God, and how they move in the world.
It's then a satire on how religion is exploited for one's personal gain. Think of many mega churches who look to prophesies on Jesus teachings and miracles.
Its then finally a satire on how people who we deem "unworthy" and how their soul is just as much worthy than everyone else's.
Intermixed in there is the relationship between the Judeans and the Roman's as an allegory between police/authority and the people they govern. Which may or may not have been somewhat factual since it has been proven that the people there would have been people of color. It may also give an introspection on why Jesus was hated by the Jews so much. But I digress.
I'd say give this film a second chance with these points, and you might find this movie a bit more favorable.
Oh and I love that Last Supper shot they had when they froze in place, that was dope.
