I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

The movie in short: Romans are bad, Christians are good. A movie that completely ignores the historical context, and is unfaithful to historical truth. Very boring pace and unremarkable screenplay.

Although this movie is poignant and moving, it's far from Biblically correct. There is no account in the Bible of Luke healing the prefect's daughter and, if he would have healed her, it wouldn't have been with earthly medicine. He was a physician, but after his conversion to Christianity, he healed by the Holy Spirit, therefore, he would have simply laid his hands on the girl and she would have been healed. Where is the miraculous in this movie? The apostles and disciples of Christ performed many miracles, signs and wonders which are completely overlooked by this movie. Yes, there were atrocities on the part of the Roman empire but there were also many miracles performed by the followers of Christ and these miracles still happen today! As a follower of Christ and someone who has read and studied the Holy Bible, I am acutely aware of the absence of miracles in this movies. These miracles are still available to us today and we can't honestly call ourselves Christians unless we have the faith to allow Christ to work through us in performing these miracles.

This was a movie that really makes you think about your faith and what you'd be willing to do for it. Us folks living in the United States are very lucky given what our founding fathers did and our freedom of religion. When you compare being a Christian here...or in a Muslim....totalitarian regime....or what early Christians went thru for jus believing in Jesus...well we are lucky. I clearly need to get back in the Bible...when you are a child you don't necessarily learn all the stories about how the apostles came to be...this movie opens up a door and has let me know I need to study and be thankful...every day.

This is an important film. It is the Bible come to life, accurately, and brutally. It speaks of hope, love, redemption, grace, and godliness
