 Jesus Of Nazareth April 5, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This movie is so well done. That it makes a person believe they are actually watching the real Jesus. Robert Powell gave an excellent performance. Some of the details weren't quite how the Bible described the situation. But, the point still gets across. I would highly recommend this movie for all ages.
A True Masterpiece April 3, 2008

This is by far the best and most moving movie of Christ ever made in my opinion. Until I bought this I had never seen the whole thing I enjoyed it so much that I actually watched both disks on the same night.
I was a bit put off that the special features are repeated on both disks but then again this film is 31 years old but the message is timeless so it still got 5* from me. I already have family members wanting to borrow it to share with their children.
IT'S A KEEPER March 31, 2008

I can remember the controversy surrounding this mini series when it first came out. Then I watched the film, and found myself thinking; these sure look like miracles to me.
Most of the acting is fantastic. The script bogs down at times, live with it. It's a great reminder that the cardborad cutouts we learned about in Sunday school were living breathing human beings. It doesn't really matter that they may not have been named Matthew, Mark, Luke or John. In a way it doesn't matter if Jesus was really the physical son of God. A man came into the world. He had a message that shook the foundations of the power structures of his time. It's still shaking them.
I watch this at least twice a year. I'm still in tears when it's over, even though I know how it's going to end.
Something that I haven't seen addressed in other reviews I've read. It's Ian McShane's portryal of Judas as the believer who "just doesn't get it." His belief that Jesus needed to justify his message to a power structure that would be irrelavent (sp?) if that message were truly put into action is gut wrenching in the end.
Holds up well..... March 26, 2008

It's hard to believe this movie is approaching the age of 30 years. It holds up remarkably well and is accurate to scripture.
This is the most indepth portrait of the Messiah's life that I have seen. The only other move that can even approach it is the The Gospel of John. From His birth, death and resurrection...it is all here.
Great production values and a tremendous cast bear witness to the Messiah.
Robert Powell does a nice job as Jesus, but I would one like to see studios move away from the European Jesus and portray Him in proper light of a 1st Century Middle Eastern man. Once again and with that said, Powell does a fine job as the lead.
A moving mini-series to say the least. Highly Recommended.
This Movie Is A Classic. February 23, 2008
I do not believe that there is or ever will be another movie as great as this one. No one will ever better the role of Robert Powell as Jesus either. To sum it up I will say that this movie is not really something that you watch but rather it is something that you experience. I have seen it more than 20 times and will watch it again soon.
