Son Of God

love this movie.. will watch again

I disliked nothing. The actor that played Jesus, Diogo Morgado, was incredible. I love the movie; I love what it inspired within me. Between The Bible and the Son of God, my faith and belief has increased as these two movies were more realistic than earlier presentations of the Bible. I could associate what occurred in Jesus' life as though it were yesterday as the portrayal of human beings was very truthful. It's one thing to watch how incredible the leaders of the Bible were but it's another thing to be able to relate those leaders, i.e., Moses, Joshua, Abraham, the 12 Apostles, as human beings who sin as all of us do. To be able to relate to how others treated the Apostles is unbelievable. The positiveness of Peter was unreal. I will be watching these two DVDs many, many times as they guide me greatly.

I really do love to watch this movie me and my grandchildren watched it. I can never understand why anyone would hurt someone so bad how they hurt someone who gives love and just wants to tell the world how to be saved and be with God me and my granddaughters we love to watch it and I tell them always be good to people and show your love and tell them about God we all need him in our lives.

Great

Although this movie was based on "The Bible" miniseries that came out earlier and it has some of the same footage as that miniseries, it is nonetheless very well done, IMO. Very nice to see a modern film about Jesus - one that wasn't done in the 1950s. The acting in this movie was well done, and in particular the actor who played Jesus did an outstanding job. Whether the actor's skin was the same color as the skin of Jesus is irrelevant, even though some people may try to argue otherwise. If you read "the Book" first, you know the plot of the movie -- haha -- but it's one that is of the utmost importance to all mankind. The movie will be very well received by Christians, I think, and is great for Evangelization. At times this movie is very gripping and awe-inspiring. The best part about it is that it represents real events, and a real Son of God who is alive today and calls us to follow Him. People who think it is okay to be spiritual, but not religious, or that it's okay to follow tenets of various religions but to disregard Jesus' teachings, should keep in mind what Jesus said in John 14:6 -- "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me."

Exct movie shows Jesus More human like. Great story line

Enjoyable movie

I never saw any of the TV broadcast of The Bible mini-series, so the film was new to me and I have no complaint on that count. On the whole this was a solidly-made, well-acted and well-written adaptation of the Gospel accounts. My number one praise of course is that it doesn't water down or cover over the plain historical record of who Jesus was & is -- none of that "great human teacher" nonsense here. Other standout positives include Judas' motive for his betrayal; it's very believable to have Judas sitting on the fence between the concerns of this world and the hope of the one to come. And the characterization of Pilate is by far the most realistic I've seen yet. Granted, what we see of him in the Gospels can make him come across as a weak-willed appeaser... but people like that didn't exactly rise to high places in the Roman Empire. This movie gives us a Pilate that you don't dare cross or screw around with. He sends Jesus to the cross not out of cowering timidity, but brutally pragmatic apathy. "They'll forget about him in a week" are his final dismissive words when his wife pleads on Jesus' behalf. The only reason I drop it to 4 stars are some small but bothersome 'misses', mostly near the start of the film. Peter's call becomes a private conversation instead of occurring in the context of a public event, without any apparent reason for the change. And when he asks Jesus what they're going to do, Jesus' answer is "Change the world." Sorry -- fail. Jesus' teaching was plain that "the world" was always opposed to Him and always would be. "Save the lost sheep of Israel," or "Build an eternal kingdom", would have been far better and more accurate. Another minor miss was the through-the-roof incident; as played out on screen, Jesus was outside and there was plenty of space to bring in the paralyzed man, so the roof breakthrough looked pointless and silly. That said, some bits of artistic license worked wonderfully. I loved the way they merged Jesus' parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector, in with His calling of Matthew -- under the surface, playing it as though Jesus was relating an actual recent event in Matthew's life. Why does this adaptation of the history work? Simply because it affirms and strengthens the key Gospel themes of repentance, forgiveness, grace, and most of all who Jesus is... He didn't have to be there in the synagogue when it happened, He simply KNEW. So on the whole, not perfect but even so I highly recommend it.
