  • 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.

    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

    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.

    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.

  • May 5, 2007
    Pobably the best of the early religious epics about Jesus,in my opinion.
  • April 29, 2007
    If this is the greatest story ever told, then where are the swordfights, the Italian villages, the unexplored ice caves, the spaceships, and Helena Bunham Carter?

  • April 24, 2007
    The book was so much better!!
  • April 24, 2007
    Max von Sydow makes a forlorn and wimpy wimpy Jesus in this Bible epic without end. KING OF KINGS did it MUUUUUCH BETTER.
  • April 23, 2007
    heard it's good want to see it
  • April 21, 2007
    The 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.
  • April 20, 2007
    Simple, sweet and GOOD.
  • April 17, 2007
    Jeffery Hunter plays a very believeable part. Very touching and thought provoking

    My favorite of all the Christ Movies...

    was actually a god movie..
  • April 2, 2007
    As far as religious movies go, I'd give this my recommendation.

    WANT TO SEE PASTOR MARY
  • March 29, 2007
    Following mainly the gospel of John, this was the first of real block-buster examinations of the life of Jesus the Christ.
    Though soft and dream in tone the simple honest with which each scene is approached is appreciable. The allowance for humour and some startling imagery - gi...( read more)ven the era of film making this was made - show the humanity of the Christ before ever telling the story of his divinity.
    The only criticism really is that the acting rides a very calm wave' being neither too gritty or offensive, nor chasing after ethereal other-worldly motives. The film lacks the momentum to really 'present' the importance of its subject.
    So though this is the greatest story ever told, and the story certainly is told, it is not told perhaps as well as it could have been.

    excellent movie !!!!
  • February 19, 2007
    Ponderous, boring retelling. Sometimes religious material so intimidates filmakers that the final product lacks any energy. This is beautifully filmed, and Sydow is excellent, but it just plods along.
  • February 16, 2007
    I'm not sure if i saw that one so i'm gonna put ''Want to see it''
  • February 10, 2007
    Need to re-watch, haven't seen it forever. VHS.
