Best movie of this year hands down!
One of my all time favorites.
Fresh and Exciting
A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Quite possibly the worst Jesus movie I've ever seen. I know "artistic liberties" are taken in all movies, but this script molested the Bible, and the writer should be called before a Tribunal at the Hague for torturing Scripture.I didn't mind Jesus being considerably more light-hearted than in most movies (even though Isaiah describes Him as "A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief"), but I did resent the gratuitous liberties taken with actual Bible accounts.Whether it's the depiction of the Christ announcing his impending death to His mother, the death scene of His earthly father Joseph, the timing and method of choosing the 12, the extremely poor sound mixing ... well, it would take a pamphlet to cover every insulting aspect of this illegitimate facsimile of a "Bible" movie.The kindest thing I can say for this production is that Debra Messing made a drop-dead gorgeous hooker, Mary M. From all other errors in this movie, I wouldn't expect the writer to do a bit of research and discover that Magdalene actually wasn't a prostitute.I turned it off after Jesus told His mother that He would die in a couple days. So, I agonized through much of it, but enough was enough.I don't know what Suzette Couture is doing for a living nowadays, but it should be criminal if she is still trying to impersonate a writer.I don't want to sell the movie on Ebay; my conscience wouldn't let me do that. Maybe I'll sail it like a Frisbee and let the pieces fall where they may. I do know I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
First, this movie is good for family 5 years old and up. This movie, Jesus, is a fresh approach to the life and times of Jesus. It is still based on the Bible, However, instead of making Jesus a "mystical Jesus", the movie depicts Jesus as more of a human with real feelings and real conflicts. The supporting characters, including Mary and the apostles also have real human feelings and conflicts instead of ethereal actions as in the other movies which depict the life and times of Jesus. The movie allows time for thought and reflection throughout. The movie also provides light entertainment and passive enjoyment. The cast did a good job in making Jesus an enjoyable film to watch. Four thumbs up.
I thought I would like it more. But this long, far too long film left me mostly bored and tired. Even with 2 episodes, it is far too prolonged and doesn't strike some inner nerve, it doesn't move me and never touch me the way it should touch upon every believer's soul. What happened? Do actors play badly? No, the parts of Pontius Pilate, the devil and some of the 12 Apostles are all very good and fresh. The worst parts are the parts (no pun intended) of Jesus Himself and John The Baptist. They seem to be so insipid, so weak and so languid that one may ask - Are these people who ignited so many hearts? If that were a real Jesus, I'd never follow him. I follow Jesus who can ignite and comfort. The long, endless dialogs, some unnecessary additions to the Messiah's words, the ultimately bad Desert Temptation scene are among the worst here, as well as the very bad final sequence. I waited for more... but still, the Jesus film with Brian Deacon is still the best here.
This film is very good. Optimum of the sort that already attended. Wonderful! Wonderful! The interpretations of the actors had been excellent The photograph direction was excellent The clothes and scenes very good They forgive but my English is very bad Already I attended one ten times I also use to study Really wonderful congratulations for that they had been part of the production Clip would like to ask for permission for to show one created by min with scenes of this film. For a Christian group in Brazil Jesus Debtor blesses here. Tanks. Debtor to all my friends also have the same opinion I really want to show mine clip with scenes of this film therefore it is the best reference that I have
