Rating: Summary: Best and truest movie ever Review: This is the best and most true movie of anything Biblical that I have seen. And this too is a great fact that attests to the power of the movie: "No other film has been seen by more than one billion people, translated into more than 425 languages and shown in more than 225 countries. It is one of the best movies I have ever seen and wonderfully created and acted. If God wasn't in the center of the making of this movie then I don't know who was!
Rating: Summary: The best yet Review: This is the most biblically accurate film of the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Check it out!
Rating: Summary: According to Luke Review: This Jesus film is true to the Gospel of Luke. That is good and bad. It sticks very close to the Gospel of Luke and avoids the Hollywood straying which most Jesus films undertake. However, because it is so closely tied to Luke, there is no crown of thorns on the head of Jesus (which is not mentioned in Luke). Because I am a stickler for accuracy, I think this is the best Jesus film available, even without the crown of thorns.

Rating: Summary: Directly from the Gospel of Luke Review: This movie is taken directly from the Gospel of Luke. It is the best movie you can buy about Jesus because it is taken directly from the Bible, word for word. Be prepared to be touched by God!
Rating: Summary: 3 Stars for Accuracy, Poorly Done - Read Luke Instead Review: This movie, made by the Genesis Project and was released in theaters nationwide in the early 80's, is unfornuately, boring. The directing is of novice caliber and the acting very forgetful. Based on the Gospel of Luke, it fails to give an emotional impact. I know they wanted to make a great film, but instead, they made an uninspiring account of the life of Christ.This movie has been hailed by so many layity and pastors as a great witnessing tool. If this is true, then the movie accomplished something good, however, I find it hard to believe anyone can set through it without falling asleep. Read the Gospel of Luke instead. Watch Jesus of Nazareth if you must watch a gospel movie. This movie, however, is better than King of Kings and is on equal footing as The Greatest Story Ever Told in enterianment value.

Rating: Summary: Great telling of the Book of Luke Review: Very accurate telling of the Gospel according to Luke. What concerns me about this movie is the portrayal of Jesus. Like most movies of the life of Jesus, our Lord and Savior is portrayed in very somber terms, almost inhuman in a way. In real life, Jesus was one of us. He was part man, part God. Without sin, but fully enjoying of his time on this Earth But the story line was execptionally accurate (unlike most tellings of the Gospel) and if you can deal with a Jesus character who seems removed from his surroundings, then this movie will be a great buy for you.

Rating: Summary: Inadequate acting, very bland! Review: While it is mostly Biblically accurate, nevertheless this is a very lackluster re-telling, being obviously low-budget. The most dramatic and emotional scene for me was when Mary Magdalene's tears fell on Jesus's feet and she wiped them with her hair. The scourging scene lacked any impact, probably not to horrify the audience. According to evidence from the Holy Shroud of Turin and the witness of several Catholic mystics, His scourging was absolutely heart-rending in its horror. Of course, this being an obvious Protestant production, they gave short shrift to Jesus's mother, Mary! Maybe that is why they chose Luke, instead of using material from Matthew, Mark or John!!! I guess what I am looking for is a good Catholic rendering. Any good Catholic out there have about $100,000,000 (or possibly less), as I am ready to do it right!!!
