Life of Christ and Max Von Sydow's American debut.
This as well as Jesus of Nazareth are films which should be watched more than once a year for the rest of your life! : )
Really long, but pretty accurate telling of Jesus's life, from birth to death. Definitely recommend it.
what 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)
This movie is pretty much bibically correct. It is however, a very boring movie with good intentions.
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.
well umn just seen this movie 4 the 1st time n think that this is a good movie 2 watch..its got a good cast of actors/actressess throguhout this movie..i think that max von sydow, charlton hesrton, sydney poitier play good parts throughout this movie...i think that the director o...( read more)
Never has any one given so much or suffered so much or affected so many lives as this one man. JESUS my savior and LORD
This is about my God and I love It. It helps me to remember just how much Jesus loves me.
Any 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.
Wow 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)
The finest retelling of Jesus' story ever committed to film. Max Von Sydow turns in an excellent performance as Jesus Christ.
A 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)
love 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?
Good 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.
i so want to see this movie. it is so great! because i know that jeasous dyed for us on the cross. so i totaly want to see this movie! even thoe i never saw it before i will still rate it. and i give it five star!!!
A geat movie of our Lord.Everyone must get to know Him in a personal way.
So 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.
