Jesus (1999)

One of my all time favorites.

Awesome Movie

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.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Quite possibly the worst Jesus movie I've ever seen. I know "artistic liberties" are taken in all movies, but this script molested the Bible, and the writer should be called before a Tribunal at the Hague for torturing Scripture.I didn't mind Jesus being considerably more light-hearted than in most movies (even though Isaiah describes Him as "A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief"), but I did resent the gratuitous liberties taken with actual Bible accounts.Whether it's the depiction of the Christ announcing his impending death to His mother, the death scene of His earthly father Joseph, the timing and method of choosing the 12, the extremely poor sound mixing ... well, it would take a pamphlet to cover every insulting aspect of this illegitimate facsimile of a "Bible" movie.The kindest thing I can say for this production is that Debra Messing made a drop-dead gorgeous hooker, Mary M. From all other errors in this movie, I wouldn't expect the writer to do a bit of research and discover that Magdalene actually wasn't a prostitute.I turned it off after Jesus told His mother that He would die in a couple days. So, I agonized through much of it, but enough was enough.I don't know what Suzette Couture is doing for a living nowadays, but it should be criminal if she is still trying to impersonate a writer.I don't want to sell the movie on Ebay; my conscience wouldn't let me do that. Maybe I'll sail it like a Frisbee and let the pieces fall where they may. I do know I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Hey guys,I love the movie. Keep up the good work, distributing it. Jesus must be glorified!I myself have created a website about Jesus with the purpose of providing a vast amount of information about Jesus. Please check it out, as You will find there the One of a Kind "The Four In One Gospel of Jesus" Project, the result of more than 10 years of theological work of an international and inter cultural team of people, as well as many interesting sections like: the life of Jesus, facts about Jesus, biography of Jesus, Jesus pictures, Jesus books, Jesus devotions, Jesus videos, Jesus articles, Jesus to a child section, Jesus music, poems about Jesus, Jesus art section with clip art, paintings, wallpapers, drawings, screen savers, graphics, photos, posters, portraits, statues of Jesus, Jokes, Jesus services section and much much more. I am sure You will be very blessed.http://www.life-of-Jesus.orgGreetings!Nikola Dimitrov Admin of the Life of Jesus website

Shame on the makers of this film. I agree, this movie is an abomination! In this version, John the Baptist tells Jesus to repent of his sins. Jesus had NO sins! That's why He was able to redeem us of our sins when He was crucified. Mother Mary has to prompt Jesus to go out into the world to find His way??! WRONG! Jesus needed NO prompting to do God's will and accomplish His mission. Jesus knew exactly who he was from the time he was a small child, which is why he stayed in His Father's Temple at 12 years old. Nothing in this film is scripturally accurate! It's disgusting and pathetic. Watch "Jesus of Nazareth" starring Robert Powell, which is the closest-to-the-truth film version that you will find about our Lord Jesus Christ.

I thought I would like it more. But this long, far too long film left me mostly bored and tired. Even with 2 episodes, it is far too prolonged and doesn't strike some inner nerve, it doesn't move me and never touch me the way it should touch upon every believer's soul. What happened? Do actors play badly? No, the parts of Pontius Pilate, the devil and some of the 12 Apostles are all very good and fresh. The worst parts are the parts (no pun intended) of Jesus Himself and John The Baptist. They seem to be so insipid, so weak and so languid that one may ask - Are these people who ignited so many hearts? If that were a real Jesus, I'd never follow him. I follow Jesus who can ignite and comfort. The long, endless dialogs, some unnecessary additions to the Messiah's words, the ultimately bad Desert Temptation scene are among the worst here, as well as the very bad final sequence. I waited for more... but still, the Jesus film with Brian Deacon is still the best here.
