Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Aspen Orson There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

poorboy671 I have seen almost every film concerning Jesus and His ministry to date. And I must say that this is by far the most moving depiction of Jesus I've ever seen. Jesus wasn't some stone faced, emotionless, robot...he was a man. He felt sorrow, he grew tired, he laughed, and he cried. He had every emotion that we have had. And if you've read the Gospels you already know this. The fact that this is a word for word account of the Gospel According to Matthew (NIV) makes it even better.It is not some overblown Hollywood rendition...so if you're looking for great special effects then you'll be disappointed. I recently re-watched Jesus of Nazareth, and it made me appreciate this movie even more. And I have no idea how that movie can be so highly rated give just how inaccurate it truly is.And to me this is a great Bible study tool for anyone who is just starting to read the Gospels...it's the Gospel of Matthew come to life in the form of a movie. So, you can read along in your Bible as you watch.This movie is a blessing just waiting for anyone wanting to grow closer to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

kaduusa I would definitely recommend this video to anyone wishing to enrich his or her spiritual life. to me my family and all that i have given or shown this video to comment that this is the perfect picture of the Jesus of the Bible they ever saw. It is beautifully filmed and it is great for group study, it Really brings scripture alive and is helpful to understand it better, The Jesus of this video is the best picture of Jesus you can ever get, he is full of life, unconditional love, happiness, compassion, sympathy, and mercy and the same time firm, strong and with authority. not a cold, distant one like i have seen in other videos. This Jesus goes about hugging and loving people, it is so real that it Makes one have a feeling of being there with Jesus. Bruce Marchiano's portrayal of Jesus was so deep, so amazing, I wish I could thank him personally. after watching it changed my perception of God and it deepened my relationship with God as well. I love this video so much that i purchased many of this DVD, to give it away to family and friends. if you are looking for more then reenactments that only gives you some of the scriptures. Then the Visual Bible is for you. This entire four hour video is word-for-word from the NIV. You can even follow along with the verses because they are placed at the bottom of the screen. this is my favorite video to study the bible, no comparison. To be even better I have been praying to see this picture of Jesus word by word with 21 century type sound and special effects, so people can do bible study or to play on TV as a mini series. I wish i could rate it higher than 5 stars. I also recommend the visual bible act of the apostles and the gospel of john

verboetim If ever there was a visual account of Jesus that should be used as an evangelical teaching tool, (second to the Bible) by any Christian believer - THIS IS IT! I would recommend and use it quite easily over Mel Gibson's The Passion. Thankfully, not too much time is given to Him suffering before and at Calvary. The Passion, I think, overdoes it and tells the viewing public that a good man died a too harsh a death.This DVD/Video uses the N.I.V. Bible line for line, and is enacted out as though you were there in the presence of the Saviour Himself. It also shows Him to have emotion. Suddenly, the Gospels come alive! This visual account easily over-rides any account of Jesus Hollywood has ever tried to create.

Grog-9 I didn't like this movie at first. The production quality is that of a "B" movie and I let that get in the way of my objectivity. I was also not used to seeing Jesus portrayed as...well...human! This Jesus laughs and hugs and enjoys his friends. We are usually treated to a Jesus that is somewhat detached or "royal" in his bearing (think Jeffrey Hunter in "King of Kings"). This is not the case in this film. Once I got used to it (and IMHO this is a more accurate representation of Jesus) I really liked it!I couldn't believe that this movie follows scripture line for line. The scripture verses are actually displayed (in the lower left corner as I recall) as they are being portrayed. I expected that approach would make the film disjointed or uninteresting. But it really works well.This has become my favorite "religious movie", and I watch it with my family every Easter season.
