This movie is very tedious. The "word for word" interpretation (even if something, certainly a film adaptation, is verbatim it is stilled interpreted) may have hampered it. Scenes seem to jump into being out of nowhere with little pretext, such as those of Christ hanging out at the temple constantly antagonizing the religous leaders or talking to people in the streets. He comes across as the crazy homeless man who thinks everyone is paying attention to him while they are going about the day's business. The dialogue was very repetitive. Dare I also say, there are more than a few holes in Jesus' "logic." Lots of self-contradictions amidst the "message." Beware: there are also fake beards galore.

I loved this movie, and I am actually a Muslim. The fact that the screenplay is so word for word faithful adds alot to the movie. And the acting and directing are fantastic. The film does a wonderful job of making you feel what life was like for Jesus, his disciples, and those he came across. I hope there will be such films made of the other gospels soon.

I have seen all the Jesus movies and all are a little bit too stylized. This movie I felt was real. It is verbatim, and it shows what the day to day living was like for Jesus and his times. I especially liked the carpenter scene. I have always believed that Jesus was as an ordinary man until the time was right. That he would have had to work for a living. That he would have fulfilled all of his father's commands, including the one which state that we had to toil for our bread. I felt the frustration but loving patience of our Lord, as he tried to convince his people, the Jews, that he was the one and that their hour was now. He succeeded in splitting the Jews into believers and non-believer and that condition exist to this day not only for them but for all who hear the message. Jesus is personal and approachable. I am looking forward to the PASSION, since this movie is about the last 12 hours of Jesus's life amongst us. To be told in a 3 hour movie also. I just hope the Gospels are all made an illustrated with the beauty, simplicity, faithfulness and Love of this movie.
