WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

vikpk This movie is totally captivating. I had been so used to the rather cliché evangelistic films that when I watched it for the first time I had not put my expectations too high. But once you start watching it you simply can't get your eyes off the screen. This is Christian art at its best. The Scriptures do come alive as you follow the story. Jesus is real in this film, and so are all the other characters. This depiction of Jesus may be the closest to expressing the rich and glorious Person that He is. The depth of the Lord's emotion, commitment, wisdom, generosity, bravery, submission and love, as well as His teaching and ministry come across so clearly that there can be no doubt that this is Jesus Christ, the Lord.This film will shake you to the core. I was impressed with the debates Jesus had with the Jews. He was displaying deep human emotion yet His authority as the Son of God ministering to people did come through very clearly as well. They reached the perfect balance to show the Son of Man as the Son of God. You cannot but see the love of God in "The Gospel of John."Of course, Mel Gibson's "The Passion" has to be taken into account, as one of the top films on the subject, too. Yet, "The Passion" focuses only on the hours before and after Jesus' crucifixion, while this one goes through the whole Gospel of John. I can see the Holy Spirit's hand all over this production. May God bless the director, actors, producers and the whole crew for putting their talent and work to retell the greatest story of all time in a way that is faithful to the Word and worth watching over and over.

gsellars-1 When I first started watching this video, I was first disappointed in the translation choice. That might seem strange to some, but I prefer the NASB as a generally more reliable translation (though not completely, of course).Only because this Gospel movie was clearly better than any other I've even seen, I wanted to write a short review.It was interesting because I don't even like the translation from which it comes, yet the dialog was captivating to me and so much more powerful than other gospel movies that it's exceptional and very realistic. It stands out to me every time I watch it.If you love the Scriptures but have always been disappointed in Bible movies, I think you'll find this a remarkable exception, even if you think the King James Version is the language in which God speaks. ;-)

poet-christian Without doubt this is to date the best movie ever made. It's true to the actual gospel (sadly though the good news version of the gospel), the acting's phenomenal and not overly spiritual or out of this world. Natural reactions, realistic setting and a "more than average" accuracy in terms of the portrayal of Characters. The best, most moving film I have ever seen. The Passion of the Christ is complete crap in comparison. The DVD version even allows you to go through chapters of the gospel, so one can read a chapter and watch the same chapter on screen every day. A fun- filled way to take in the wonderful book of John. I would recommend it to young and all, simple and intellectual. Great gift, awesome soul-winning tool and a masterpiece of a production. A must watch!

jauamgar My husband and I don't usually go for these types of movies and I can honestly say that I can rarely sit through an entire one but my brother in law recommended it to us and insisted that we borrow his copy to watch it. Well by night's end he forgot to give us the DVD to take home & we didn't remind him, LOL. About a week later a small package arrived that neither of us ordered, to our surprise inside was a copy of The Gospel of John purchased for us as a gift by my brother in law. Well neither of us wanted to be an ingrate so we sat down to just to check out a bit of the movie so we could at least say we saw it. Well were we glad we did. Mostly because Henry Ian Cusick's portrayal of Jesus Christ was absolutely outstanding and kept us watching. He had all the peace and calming effect that I can only imagine of Jesus radiating from him. I felt so at peace watching this man portray Jesus Christ that I just had to comment to my husband on what I was feeling and he agreed one hundred percent. Well needless to say we watched the entire movie and enjoyed it a great deal. Although all the actors did great jobs in their rolls I would recommend this movie on the basis of Mr. Cusick's performance alone. I must say too that I was thrilled to see Mr. Cusick appear on Lost which is also a fantastic TV show that only improved with the addition of Mr. Cusick to the cast. I hope everyone will enjoy the movie as much as we did and don't forget to check out Lost.
