Movie Reviews of The Gospel of John
Movie Review: Great idea for Small Group Ministry
Summary: 5 Stars
Looking for something a little out of the ordinary to do with your small group? We just recently completed The Gospel of John DVD with our small group and found it to be a very useful tool in communicating the life of Jesus. The visual imagery is much like The Passion quality, although the crucifixion scene is much easier to handle in this DVD. We watched a little bit of it every time we met and found that we hated to stop the DVD each time. It was just so gripping to watch. As a small group leader, I found it to spawn very interesting discussions afterwards and had a lasting impact throughout the week. The Gospel of John is very well done and I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the level of professionalism both in acting and producing that this film delivers. The "script" is word for word Good News Bible Translation and was easy to follow along with in your bible as you watched the DVD.Movie Review: AWESOME!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all, skip the 2-hour version and go straight for the 3-hour theatrical version, included in this set.
This is a faithful recreation of the book of John. Every word and event is true to the Bible, which is what we need in movies that are based on Bible stories... ACCURACY!
The acting was great, as was the scenery and emotion.
The crucifixion scene wasnt as graphic as that of 'The Passion of the Christ' but it got the message across that our Lord and Savior went through agony on our behalf.
Older kids, over 8 yrs., could watch this and not be too disturbed.
I cant recommend this movie strongly enough.
If you're a 'new' Christian, this movie will help you understand why we believe as we believe.
If you're a more mature Christian, this will make for great devotional time with your family.
Movie Review: Touching - Awesome - Phenomenal - Great - Word for Word
Summary: 5 Stars
I must agree with the person who wrote "Reasons This Is My Favorite Jesus Movie".
I saw The Visual Bible's "Gospel of Matthew" and I was sorely dissappointed. This "Jesus" smiled way too much and he was too touchy/feely. When he says to Peter, "Get the behind me Satan," he is hugging him. It felt like more of an apology than a rebuke. Again, when he is teaching Peter about how many times he should forgive his brother they end up acting it out with Peter doing most of the teaching not Jesus. I had a difficult time taking him seriously.
Not so in the "Gospel of John". I must say that Henry Cusick did a marvoulous potrayal of Jesus. It was especially touching when he prayed for the diciples the night before the crucifiction. It really bought the scriptures to life for me.
If you don't own it get it. Your money will not be wasted.
Movie Review: Top Quality, Accurate Portrayal of Christ
Summary: 5 Stars
The best way to describe this DVD is "Awesome". It is well directed and keeps your attention as every word of the Gospel of John is either narrated or spoken by the characters. All the actors do an excellent and believable job, but the one who plays the title role of Jesus Christ is the best I have ever seen. It is difficult to play such a role because the Bible clearly teaches (as one would especially find in this Gospel) that Christ was not only man but God. Christ is portrayed as a regal figure, manly and compassionate. Unlike many other Hollywood movies, this one avoids the weirdness of making him a super-spiritual being and missing his manhood, yet also avoids making him look like the favorite-uncle comedian as portrayed in "The Gospel of Matthew" Visual Bible. I would highly recommend this DVD, and I am very hard to please when it comes to Bible-type movies.Movie Review: What better a witness then the WORD itself
Summary: 5 Stars
I like the Movie because it is not common to see far straying from the WORD, yet it is drawn from the Alexandrian texts which are gnostic, droping many words, and even entire verses (compare NIV 1John 5:7 to NKJV or KJV). Another thing Isaih said the real LORD was not comely (handsom), nor did he have any form (was not well built). Also Mary Magdeline near the end, gets a lot of camara time for some reason, and keeps acting fluttery. All in all I would watch it several times without feeling like I was wasting time, because any of HIS words are enriching.
Praise the LORD Jesus, HE has
"magnified HIS WORD above HIS NAME" Psalm 138:2b,

JESUS is alive, HE is risen, HE healed my broken heart, and gave me a new life in HIM.
