cooljmzz Well like other reviewers I was hoping for something good. Movie got the gist of the life of Christ but the movie is not scriptural accurate. Had some things correct but a lot of it is totally wrong... like Judas Iscariot hanging... the beheading of John the Baptist....could not even get Christ crucifixion right he was hung between two thieves.....many other issues..... missed a good opportunity

Kirpianuscus the purpose of this film is the big question who remains after its end. because it is not portrait of the Savior or the portrait of a Prophet. the Gospels are only pretext. the implication of good actors - decorative. and the desire to redefine His existence and work - wrong. too long, too innovative and unclear, it is an exercise to present a good guy who has not specific identity, who not gives a specific message, who looking like Christ but at the level of poor sketch. something missing. and it is something fundamental for do a credible story, to remind the word of Jesus, for be a real testimony about a mission and about sacrifice. it is not a problem of freedom of expression or about the religious believes. but the manner to send a credible vision about the second person of Saint Trinity.

Ryan Prince -Killing Jesus (2015) movie review: -Killing Jesus is a TV movie by National Geographic, giving a look at the ministry and death of Jesus of Nazareth from both his perspective and the perspectives of those who ordered his death. This attempt as a religious telling takes a non-biased look at the story of Christ, essentially adding biased against the truth told in the actual story. I'll get in to that later.-Technically, it was not that bad. I will review part of it from that standpoint. However I am also going to review the content and what it represents, which was less than satisfying for a film that only needed to do the same as the other hundred films like this one.-The story was told from both the perspectives of Jesus' captors as well as Jesus, so it feels inconsistent. They also skipped a few points that help develop other points in Christ's ministry.-The film had a slow start and an odd pace that rushed through a bit of time without letting the audience know. Rushed ending too.-The acting is functional. Haaz Sleiman plays a good Jesus, but not a great one. It also has some people like Kelsey Grammar, Rufus Sewell, and John Rhys-Davies in it, who do a good job.-The characters are not all that good or accurate. Jesus whines and at one point talks about how He wants to lead a rebellion with swords. Because that obviously happened. To make this part short, when it comes to characters there is almost no regard for the actual Bible.-I liked the music. It was very Bear McCreary-esque.-The production value was acceptable, and I loved that they had a Jewish looking Jesus. Other than that, this film is both factually and Biblically inaccurate through most of its passive attempt to tell the story of Christ. Ending it ambiguously while not having things like the Holy Spirit in it once just truly take everything out of the meaning.-Technically, it is not terrible. It has a decent design, acting that is not too bad, and a good score. Biblically and historically, it gets little right and takes the extra step to ensure this comes from a non-biased worldview, which in turn takes God out of it. Killing Jesus is not worth the time.-Killing Jesus holds a PG-13 rating for violence and some partial nudity.

lboone001 A lot of research and money obviously went into the production of this very good movie. Lots of extras in the cast,for realistic crowd scenes making the film most realistic and true to historic details, as well as the scriptures. One can gain a deep insight into what Jesus of Nazereth actually went thru during his lifetime. A good movie to watch even if you are not a Christian, just for the other accurate historical events that were going on at the time, concerning not only Jesus, but the conflicts going on between the Jewish people and their Roman occupiers. Well worth watching, or even owning (whenever it is available on DVD), so you can watch it again and again especially if you 'are' a Christian. We plan to watch it at every special season during the Christian year that celebrates the life and times of Jesus.
