Harockerce What a beautiful movie!

Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

poorboy671 I have seen almost every film concerning Jesus and His ministry to date. And I must say that this is by far the most moving depiction of Jesus I've ever seen. Jesus wasn't some stone faced, emotionless, robot...he was a man. He felt sorrow, he grew tired, he laughed, and he cried. He had every emotion that we have had. And if you've read the Gospels you already know this. The fact that this is a word for word account of the Gospel According to Matthew (NIV) makes it even better.It is not some overblown Hollywood rendition...so if you're looking for great special effects then you'll be disappointed. I recently re-watched Jesus of Nazareth, and it made me appreciate this movie even more. And I have no idea how that movie can be so highly rated give just how inaccurate it truly is.And to me this is a great Bible study tool for anyone who is just starting to read the Gospels...it's the Gospel of Matthew come to life in the form of a movie. So, you can read along in your Bible as you watch.This movie is a blessing just waiting for anyone wanting to grow closer to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

kaduusa I would definitely recommend this video to anyone wishing to enrich his or her spiritual life. to me my family and all that i have given or shown this video to comment that this is the perfect picture of the Jesus of the Bible they ever saw. It is beautifully filmed and it is great for group study, it Really brings scripture alive and is helpful to understand it better, The Jesus of this video is the best picture of Jesus you can ever get, he is full of life, unconditional love, happiness, compassion, sympathy, and mercy and the same time firm, strong and with authority. not a cold, distant one like i have seen in other videos. This Jesus goes about hugging and loving people, it is so real that it Makes one have a feeling of being there with Jesus. Bruce Marchiano's portrayal of Jesus was so deep, so amazing, I wish I could thank him personally. after watching it changed my perception of God and it deepened my relationship with God as well. I love this video so much that i purchased many of this DVD, to give it away to family and friends. if you are looking for more then reenactments that only gives you some of the scriptures. Then the Visual Bible is for you. This entire four hour video is word-for-word from the NIV. You can even follow along with the verses because they are placed at the bottom of the screen. this is my favorite video to study the bible, no comparison. To be even better I have been praying to see this picture of Jesus word by word with 21 century type sound and special effects, so people can do bible study or to play on TV as a mini series. I wish i could rate it higher than 5 stars. I also recommend the visual bible act of the apostles and the gospel of john

joepizza I've seen both the Passion and this movie. In the Passion, Jesus is joking with Mary about a table he had just built. It was a segment that warmed my heart, made me smile and pulled the GOD Jesus a bit closer to me , making it easier for me to touch. BUt that was about it as far a warmth. I absolutely was blown away by the Passion. After seeing THIS movie, I realized how the the Passion could, in fact, be a FAR FAR BETTER movie if it blended a bit more of THIS Jesus.I shake my head because now I realize that THE PASSION could have an EVEN GREATER impact on my heart and emotions if THE Christ in the PASSION was portrayed a bit more like Bruces, Christ. I would have fallen in love with the Christ in the PASSION even MORE. Thus making the incredible suffering he endured even more shocking and regrettable.

jm1972 Whether you're crazy about Jesus or not, this is an eye-opening film. It is so different to see an extremely warm, passionate, human, divine, and SMILING Jesus! The movie, which uses no other words than those found the Bible (New International Version), tells the story of the humble Jewish carpenter who changed the world forever. The director doesn't try dazzle the audience with "eye-popping" angles or camera tricks, but rather shows the life of Jesus in a simple way.The are several little highlights that decorate the picture. One, for instance, is when Jesus and his buddies play under a waterfall like a bunch of kids. Another is when they all decide to have a little wrestling brawl just to be goofy. Throughout the picture, it shows Jesus teaching his disciples (the buddies) in a way that a father teaches his child the things of life. With all its color and fun,however, the film can get serious real fast. Constant death threats are made against this new Rabbi. Jesus bashes the Jewish religious leaders and publicly announces them as hypocrites. The line is drawn, and the road to Golgotha begins. The film shows the brutal reality of the crucifixion, and the incredible hope that came through the resurrection. The movie ends almost with a question from Jesus himself. "Ok," says Jesus. "You've seen the movie about me, but who do YOU think I am?"Like I said, whether you're crazy about Jesus or not, it's an interesting movie to look at (if you don't mind the length!). It shows Jesus as he was from a Biblical perspective. Funny, kind, patient, a friend of the friendless. Check it out! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
