    This is a well developed film, flows along nicely and the cinematography is interesting. It's about average for the story of Christ's birth. The characters do seem more real than has been portrayed in many films of this type. Makes for a neat little film to add to your Christm...( read more)as viewing...

    Well, if you have ever sat through a Christmas play, you know the story already. The movie was OK - nothing earth-shattering. I didn't realize the middle east was as dry as this movie portrays it.

    I liked this film. If you like traditional biblical films faithful to the Bible, this movie is for you. My opinion is that Jesus should be portrayed with respect and truthfulness. In this movie he was portrayed as just as he should be.

    Very minor spoiler ahead The film also co...( read more)ntained many episodes not mentioned in the Bible, but these episodes most certainly occurred with the principals in the story (for instance Mary being afraid to marry a man she didn't know etc.). In this way, the film gives depth to this so familiar story. Catherine Hardwicke has done a great job.

    An interesting interpretation and re-imagining of the birth narratives. I liked how Joseph was portrayed very much. It shows how essential he was to the entire story, which I appreciated. I won't dock them too many points for historical and Biblical inaccuraciy. I'll chalk it...( read more) up to creative license since they have very few biblical verses to stretch into an hour and a half worth of movie.

    It felt only a small step above your typical Bible film. It still felt low quality, as far as films are concerned. The acting wasn't anything spectacular and the voice of the angels were downright campy.

    I guess if you were looking for a film of the nativity for a study or something like that, thiis is about the best there is, which is unfortunate.
