 Truly, truly I say to you... January 17, 2007

I really like this movie! Jeremy Sisto is a wonderful Jesus and really captures me. I have watched this movie at least 10 ten times and bought it as gifts for my mom and boyfriend. If you like viewing Jesus in an unorthodox way, you will enjoy this movie for sure. Jesus is depicted as a real person (like you or me) before he becomes Jesus as most of us know him today. This movie seems so real to me that when I watch it, it's as if I'm really watching Jesus. So lovely!

The Gospels are always a challenge to adapt to screen, but this time they didn't even try. The beginning was pretty typical: Lots of flash and color with Roman soldiers, Priests and Scribes, and, of course, Herod with Herodias and the inevitable Solome (odd that she's often given a central role, since she isn't even named in Scripture, and only mentioned once). So for about ten minutes I sat tight, waiting for the good stuff, like Jesus' baptism, the calling of The Twelve, and the Sermon on the Mount, but the when Jesus finally shows up, he's in Bethany making sheep-eyes at Mary. Blasphemy! The Bibical Jesus would never for a moment have contemplated a different path than the one He knew His Father wanted for Him, even when He was as young as twelve years. We turned it off right away, knowing the rest couldn't be much better. Don't buy this.
 Finally a movie that gives credit to Jesus being fully human as well as fully God December 13, 2006

There have been few media representations of Jesus life that are worth the film they use- this one is worth it. While there are some things that seem a bit out of order or not perfectly correct historically, this movie allowed the human side of Jesus to come out. Often we forget that Jesus was fully human and fully God. What does it mean to be human? to have doubts, to have joy, to have fears and to have hopes. We can only surmise what it means to be God!
As a pastor I seek to find good material to introduce Jesus to kids and adults alike. A group of 15 year olds sat for the entire 3 hours watching this movie and really liked it. That, my friends, makes this a fantastic evangelism tool. I highly recommend it.
 Makes Jesus Seem Like A Friend December 10, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I enjoyed the movie. I think that it was a good movie to introduce my younger children to Jesus, making him seem like a person who could be a friend. Now that does not mean that I think it is accurate. No one really knows how Joseph and Jesus got along, the Bible is silent on that issue, probably because it is not that imporatant. He was probably devoted to Joseph as most sons would be with their fathers, so they took a little liberty, but I don't think that it was a bad thing. No it does not follow scripture (no evidence Jesus was interested in Mary, John the Baptist knew full well who Jesus was before he baptized him etc...) but any movie that will get people interested in the Lord is good as long as it does not desecrate him (having sex, girlfriends etc, being a mook etc). I liked it, but if you want more accuracy look to Jesus of Nazareth, King of Kings etc..., this movie is more kid friendly.
Good try!! November 28, 2006

This is one of those movies trying to blame it on Pilate. That's so anti-biblical!! Everybody knows, no offense, that Jewish Sanhedrin wanted Jesus dead. And that's not "antisemitism". It's just the truth. But Jewish moguls (media owners) are trying to change that saying that Jews only were puppets and Pilate wanted Jesus to die. That's a big lie. If you read the Bible you're going to find something different. And this too worldly Jesus is unacceptable ! Don't buy this garbage
