The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
View MoreThe biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
View MoreThe movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
View MoreAll of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
View MoreAs a trans species Zionist Jewish gender neutralist this comedy is perfect. At first I thought the 100% at Rotten Tomatoes was over exaggerated but I can see now that the high ratings are justified! My only regret is that it ended too little and that the director should continue. Maybe even branch off into other characters like Vishnu, Buddha or Allah perhaps?
View MoreThere's a pretty simple basic joke here, a guy who says he's Jesus whose black and living in a run-down neighborhood. Basically a ghetto Jesus who in the first episode is the driver for a week pickup.I'm not sure what this show is going for. Jesus is a weird mix of a shiftless guy who swears a lot and a supernatural being who expresses love for his fellow man, seemingly knows everyone's secrets, and can perform small miracles like putting a message on an answering machine to help out a friend.Is this a consideration of how the historical/mythological Jesus was a man of the people, speaking to the poor and disdained in their own language? Or is this just, "hey, wouldn't it be funny if Jesus swore a lot?" Is it satire so subtle that I can't tell it's satire? Is it knocking religion or trying to show religion in the context of real life? Is it basically drugs-and-jokes with a goofy twist?Honestly, I don't care much, because I just didn't find it all that funny. It really seems like a one-joke series, and I think that would be fine for a youtube video but isn't really enough for a full series.Anyway, whatever it is, the pilot was enough for me.
View MoreThe show is modern day millennial comedy. Gerald "Slink" Johnson's Personality as Jesus infects you with happiness, that man knows how to act. His ability to brighten your day is truly amazing, in addition to the biblical life lessons in every episode. Hands down my favorite show of all time, it is teaching me to be a better person. It has even given me the motivation to start my own charity. I'm pushing that World Peace pimps!!!!!So if this offends you, quit crying, it has changed my perspective on life and it can for others, I honestly hope this never ends, so quit hatin' we out here spreading peace and love to the world, or keep hatin' I love you anyway. #FightFireWithWater #FightHateWithLove P.s. Cuss words aren't sins, unless they are meant in a bad or hateful way, we created these words, they take on the meaning you give it. So quit hatin' start helping. 🌍✌️👍
View MoreYou don't have to be black and live in Compton to 'get' this show. Jesus's second coming is subtle. He just... suddenly shows up but he's been there all along. Like boondocks, each episode carries a message, but the message is cloaked in gags and misdeeds. All in all, "Black Jesus" gives you enough to have faith, but not enough to prove it - very much like any religion.What I like best about this show is that it grows the characters. They are not just one- dimensional. Each episode brings added attention to one or more of the characters to give them added depth and flesh them out. Only one character so far that is not multi- dimensional is the preacher. And coincidentally, he is the only one who is stereotyped. The entire cast is great, and is given ample opportunity to develop, grow and hold my interest. One of the few shows on the air that I keep on getting surprised by.Perspective: this review only goes to Season 2, episode 7. This show builds on previous shows.
