Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Dee Smith This movie did not do justice to the beautiful and thought-provoking story as told in the book. It just didn't have the same level of detail or narration to fully explore the concept of how Jesus would be received in modern society.In addition, the acting by much of the supporting cast was not very good and made it difficult to take the movie seriously and watch it until the end. I am glad I did watch it until the end, though. I found myself surprisingly moved by the last scene.I highly recommend the book!
Paul1149 It took me seven years to appreciate this film. Not a constant seven years, but that was the interval between when I first saw it and mostly disliked it, until now, when I love it. The reason is that the book the movie is drawn from is so powerful, I couldn't see why the movie diverted from it so greatly.However for some reason I felt a leading to watch the film again last week, and now I was able to appreciate it on its own merits. And they are many.I think the reason this movie is so powerful is that Joshua exhibits a "natural spirituality". There is nothing religious or sanctimonious about him. With him, it's all about relationships based on serving each other. In other words, it's about love.Of course, the supernatural power is there too, and it's what gives Joshua the man his special credibility. But it works alongside his loving character.There were several moments in this film that I found moving. The odd thing is that they were not flashy, raising-the-dead moments. They were little things that spoke of the love and power of God, of Christ having come to gently serve us and show us the way.I found the scene with what happens to the broken glass vase moving, and I thought that Stacy Edwards did a fantastic job in her role as Maggie. I particularly liked the scene with the pope. Giannini did an awesome job of showing a quiet humble spirituality. Also Kurt Fuller was totally believable in his role. And of course, Tony Goodwyn was superb. Excellent job also, Colleen and Eddie, as Joan and Theo! Now that I'm over the book-movie comparison, I really appreciate this film. Also, MW Smith's score is really excellent. Fantastic job all around. This film is great for believers and those not quite there yet. Turn your friends and family onto it. They will be glad you did.
Josh Hayes This was a great movie. There are few movies that a person feels good after watching. This is one of them. Its not really about the second coming of Jesus. Its more about what would Jesus be like if he was here and hanging out with us in every day life. Most family movies are nice to see but the plots are weak and the acting is even worse. This movie had a decent plot. The acting was amazing. Everything came together great. One of my favorite movies, I can watch it over and over. I would love to go visit the location of the workshop in the movie but the shoot locations only show LA and Chicago. I don't know where the scenes were shot.
tdi-2 I enjoyed this movie. I actually went to see it in the movie theater about 3 years ago. I think it is pretty ironic that this movie replays itself on the Trinity Bible Netork. In the scene when Joshua confronts the "faith healer", I couldn't help but think of Benny Hinn, or Steve Martin's Jonas Nightengale... Anyways, Joshua is a good movie that does an excellent job of capturing the Girzone books. It is also a much better Christian flick than the Left Behind and Omega Code series that present all of Christianity as only an end-times oriented religion. The foil between Father Tardone and Father Hayes is an enjoyable one to watch, especially as a pastor...there is definitely some real life truth there. Joshua is a film that gives a bit of hope to the "Christian Movie Business." I am excited about what will be coming out of the Christian alternative to Hollywood in the future.
