Movie Reviews of Jesus

Movie Review: Not disappointed
Summary: 5 Stars

A wonderful re-telling of the greatest of stories. Unlike some movies of Jesus' life, this one doesn't portray him in a stiff, wooden fashion -- but as a believable character, combining both divine and human characteristics.

The story also makes understandable some of the underlying political intrigues that are a crucial part of the story, and it is done in an interesting way.

The acting is wonderful, the characters believable, and the story moving and compelling.

I think it is one of the best movie depictions I have seen. The only thing I would change might be the "slick car salesman" style devil shown in the temptation scene -- but who could know how best to portray such a character? This portrayal may be as likely as any other.

I certainly do not regret purchasing this DVD, and would recommend it to others.

Summary of Jesus

The life and times of jesus of nazareth from his humble beginnings as a carpenter to his destiny as the son of god are vividly retold in this epic movie event. When his earthly father dies mary tells jesus the time has come to fulfill his prophecy. Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent. Release Date: 09/13/2005 Starring: Gary Oldman Jeremy Sisto

Tackling the story of Jesus for film is bound to incur controversy. Yet, in a bold move, CBS produced the television miniseries Jesus, which not only retells the biblical story, but takes a look at the more human side of the man. Jeremy Sisto stars, and although it takes a little while for him to gather enough momentum to have us believing him in this role, overall he is surprisingly convincing. While the movie does stray from strict scripture--Jesus is shown feeling conflicted over his feelings for Lazarus's sister Mary; Satan, portrayed by Jeroen Krabb?, works hard at convincing Jesus to stray from his path--most of the plot will be familiar to viewers. Beginning with an adult Jesus, who works with his father as a carpenter, the program traces his life and death through resurrection. The strong supporting cast, including Jacqueline Bisset as Mary, Gary Oldman as Pontius Pilate, and Debra Messing as Mary Magdalene, lends to the credibility of the miniseries. This is a satisfying retelling of the life of Jesus and will please those who want new ways to explore biblical stories, as Jesus not only reinforces the ideals of the New Testament but shows Jesus as a complex individual. --Jenny Brown
