Load of rubbish!!

How sad is this?

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Where I did not like this movie's depiction of Jesus so much, I prefer its Roman scenes over "Jesus of Nazareth (1977)", which has the better Jesus but the weaker Pilate. Especially the theater scene was very original. And then there are the flash-forwards to the Crusades, inquisition and world-wide war. The costumes, style and scenery are nearly perfect.Actors: Jeremy Sisto does an okay job as Jesus, looks the way you'd expect him to. Thomas Lockyer plays a convincingly guilt-stricken Judas. Jeroen Krabbé as Satan fulfilled his duty as well. The one who steals the show and the movie's big selling point, of course, is Gary Oldman as Pontius Pilate. A most intriguing villain.The idea of Pilate plotting Jesus' death after the Jews' backs also worked for the movie, but it is not very Biblical. In fact, the gospels state that Pilate tried to have him freed (John 19:12). There are other nit-picks I could offer, but I'll refrain from it.Some other lasting images include the Last Supper scene and the movie's unconventional devil. Satan's presence in the movie is stretched out very inventively, but failed to convince me fully.But, then again, will we ever have THE perfect Bible movie? Still, I definitely recommend this one.

I am so happy a movie like this was made it is what I feel to be the best depiction of this story in movie form that I have ever seen. I can show it to my baby and I know she would pay attention because she get's right into movies and I know this one would capture anyones attention. I have been recommending it to my friends for years since the first time I've seen it. Unfortunately it has been hard to find I've been looking for it so that I can purchase it and no-one seems to know what particular one I am referring to. Now that I have looked it up here I have a better idea of what I'm looking for and what to tell sellers when I am looking for this powerful heartfelt movie about my favorite person of all time.

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
