An overly long version of Christ's story. Von Sydow is great as Jesus, but hearing the Duke's voice as the Centurion pissed me off for some reason.

April 23, 2008love these top heavy with stars juggernauts they tossed at you to try to get you out from in front of your teevee sets! and this one drips with maybe too much reverence, and how, oh how can you do that?

April 21, 2007The storyline doesn't flow as well as the film Jesus of Nazareth. It's worth a watch, but just doesn't capture the true meaning of the gospel.

May 6, 2009what an amazingly uninteresting epic. even in almost 3 1/2 hours, the characters remain flat and virtually void of personality. creative liberties are plentiful in combining and slightly altering various story elements, and the writing--in its attempt to be reverent and scriptu... ...( read more )

May 6, 2009This movie is pretty much bibically correct. It is however, a very boring movie with good intentions.

March 9, 2009Never has any one given so much or suffered so much or affected so many lives as this one man. JESUS my savior and LORD

December 7, 2008Any movie that is an adaption of the Bible is not going to be easy to make but this one does a very good job. It is a classic not because it is about our Saviour but because it very good film making.
-
August 28, 2008Wow Folks Everyone Needs to see this Picture and those whom does Not know the Lord I do pray that you come and see Him and have a change in your Heart and in your life For the Lord our God is so good all the time and He loves You today more than He ever has in any days past God B... ...( read more )

August 10, 2008The finest retelling of Jesus' story ever committed to film. Max Von Sydow turns in an excellent performance as Jesus Christ.
-
June 4, 2008A Jesus film stands or falls with its portrayal of Jesus, and whether or not you would follow him heart in soul if he were actually like on screen.
Much as I like Von Sydow as an actor generally, I couldn't stand his Jesus for a minute. He looks and talks like Obi Wan Kenobi o... ...( read more ) -
April 15, 2008Good but not the Greatest. Von Sydow is good as Jesus, but some of the other casting was odd, such as John Wayne as a Roman Centurion. I liked King of Kings better.

-
February 28, 2008So many stars in this old piece of film, its ridiculous. What else is ridiculous? The freaking length! I think I saw the original four hour cut. It must have originally been in like 20 cans. Yawn.
-
January 20, 2008Not the best treatment of the life of Christ out there, but Charlton Heston as John the Baptist ruled. Max von Sydow's Jesus could have been a little less wooden and ethereal.
-
December 1, 2007The part that really touched me is when Jesus wept when the people were mourning over the death of Lazerous it was a really good performance
-
October 7, 2007JESUS IS MY LORD AND SAVIOUR AND ANY MOVIE THAT DEPICTS HIS LIFE HERE ON EARTH WITH ACCURACY IS WAY WORTH SEEING OVER & OVER
-
September 10, 2007Hollywood put so much into this big budget epic, the production values alone make it worth seeing. It also doesn't hurt that they signed virtually everyone who was ever anyone to appear in the film in roles of various levels of importance. Biblical Epic veteran Charlton Heston... ...( read more )

September 9, 2007Wasn't the greatest story ever told the one about the Irishman, Englishman and a racially origniated non-specific third party and their exploits in the local freehouse?
-
July 23, 2007Hmmmm, John Wayne as a roman centurion? No I don't think so. Von Sydow though is a great Jesus. And heston fits in the enviorment as a klingon fits on the battlefield.
-
June 13, 2007I didn't like this movie much. The Passion of the Christ was much more spiritual and it touched my heart more deeply than this movie.
-
June 11, 2007Well Its Great, although it makes Jesus look like a somber man. If you get the chance watch a movie called MATTHEW from Visual Bible. BEST
-
May 18, 2007I did like Sydow's portrayal of Jesus. Not as good as Jim Cavaziel's Passsion of the Christ depiction, but still very good. The random cameos were really silly.
