Movie Reviews of The Gospel of John
Movie Review: Fine movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was struck by the firebrand nature that the movie portrayed Jesus to be. I have never understood why many folks think Jesus to be effiminate or sorrowful or downcast.
I have to take a minor issue with those who knock the film due to an unusually 'happy' Jesus. While enjoying the company of his flock, Jesus was happy and thus naturally smiling. He is the Son of Man and of God. He knows the paradise he came from and where he is going - who wouldn't be full of joy with that kind of security? While in the midst of the false teachers, Jesus was annoyed, angry and blunt. Seems natural to me.
I rented this from Blockbuster online and was not too excited about seeing it, but after having watched it am greatly impressed with the narration, scenery, acting and dialogue.
Good movie and recommended!
Movie Review: Fantastic!
Summary: 5 Stars
My family and I weren't sure what to expect from this when we borrowed it from the library, but were spectacularly surprised. As soon as we watched it, we had to order it!
The dramatization brought a new perspective on these verses. I remember telling my husband that I never had a concept of seeing Christ smile, but you see human emotion in this movie. The crucifixion is not especially gory, but the piercing of Jesus' side and breaking of the theives' legs caught me a little off guard.
The verses are quoted verbatim from the Good News Bible and none are left out in the three hour version. We have not watched the shorter version, but a guide is included for both to show you the chapters.
Overall a wonderful way to listen and watch the Bible come to life!
Movie Review: "THE GOSPEL OF JOHN"
Summary: 5 Stars
Visual Bible: Gospel of John
I knew THE GOSPEL OF JOHN was a great dvd because I had already seen it. My purpose in buying 4 dvd's was to give them to my sons and keep one for myself. I would like to purchase more dvd's and give as gifts to friends and other family members, too.
The GOSPEL OF JOHN is so close to scripture that it is an accurate portrayal of the actual Gospel of John. Jesus says in the scripture so many times, "I tell you the truth..." It is wonderful to hear it in the dvd over and over. Hearing the actual words from the Bible and seeing the portrayal in the dvd is exceptionally moving!
I recommend this dvd to believers and non-believers.
Movie Review: Best movie about Jesus
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this movie 2 months ago on netflix and keep thinking about it. It was so good that I wanted to see what people were thinking on Amazon. I love the actor that plays Jesus (probably because I liked him in Lost too).
The movie is pretty good at following the bible. The only think that I didn't like is that Mary Magdalene was present during the last super which I don't think she was. Also when Jesus got arrested, Judas is supposed to kiss Jesus to show the soldiers who Jesus is but this didn't not happened here either and the place looks different too, they are in some kind of stairs instead of the olive tree garden.
Also John the baptist looks a bit crazy, he looks like he hasn't slept in years...
Except for the few details, I highly recommend it.
Movie Review: Perfect. The best portrayal of Jesus. Brings the Bible to life visually.
Summary: 5 Stars
The best portrayal of Jesus we have seen - Loving, but confident and powerful.
My wife and I now have more than twenty bible based dvd's, and this was, (and is) our favorite.
Very realistic, powerful and moving. Well acted, well cast, literal, professional and entertaining. Riveting, never boring, (we watched the 3 hour version).
A suggestion for those new to Christianity:
We were fairly new to our faith when we first watched this film, and found it very helpful to refer to a good study Bible after watching the movie to better understand some parts of the graphically powerful message delivered by the movie.
We use the Life Application Study Bible and The Quest Study Bible.
