The Greatest Story Ever Told Reviews and Ratings



  • January 30, 2008
    A fantastic rendering of the New Testament and the life of Christ.
  • January 28, 2008
    love the old versions
  • January 20, 2008
    Not 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.
  • January 9, 2008
    Not the best but a good rendition of the story of Christ
  • December 12, 2007
    One of my favorite religious movie of all time!
  • December 1, 2007
    The 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, 2007
    JESUS IS MY LORD AND SAVIOUR AND ANY MOVIE THAT DEPICTS HIS LIFE HERE ON EARTH WITH ACCURACY IS WAY WORTH SEEING OVER & OVER
  • October 6, 2007
    The Greatest Story EVER!!!
  • September 21, 2007
    sounds good. I'm a Christian, so I like movies about Jesus' life.

    Hollywood 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) puts in an especially great showing as John the Baptist, and they even got a past his prime John Wayne(!) to make a cameo as the Roman Centurion in charge of Jesus' Crucifixion.
    The end result is a mostly-entertaining movie that gets ocasionally bogged down by some overly drawn out sequences and a few snicker-inducing "what were they thinking?" bits.

    Wasn'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?

    Want to see it! Will have to take into account!
  • July 23, 2007
    Hmmmm, 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.
  • July 5, 2007
    indeed the greatest story ever, if we believe, trust and have faith in Him
  • July 5, 2007
    i love this movie...you need to watch it...
  • June 13, 2007
    I 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, 2007
    Well 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
  • June 10, 2007
    a story for all seasons
  • June 9, 2007
    I've seen it, but remember it.

  • May 18, 2007
    I 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.
  • May 17, 2007
    A Really Great film, and i believe it to be the greatest story ever told. It's an older film, but it's one of the better ones i've seen of it's kind to date.
