An absolute waste of money

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The start might seem a bit slow, but give yourself maybe 2 nights to get through it and watch it all. If you are new to the bible, or even if you know the bible well, this movie is worth investing your time to watch. This movie is my go to movie when I want to see the bible come to life. I like it because there was Even though it is older, I feel that the actors did a great job. I like that Jesus was not great looking. The bible teaches that there was NOTHING about his outward appearance that would make people drawn to him. Passion of the Christ is a more realistic view of what a roman crucifixion. However, I still prefer this movie especially when there are younger viewers in the room. You still get the essence of the pain.

Beginning before the Nativity and extending through the Crucifixion and Resurrection, Jesus OF NAZARETH brings to life all the sweeping drama in the life of Jesus, as told by the Gospels. I never knew that this was a 2 episodes TV series cause every Easter they start it around Tuesday and it ends on Saturday not a huge problem but it was a cool info for me to this day i don't think there will be anyone else that will come close to portray Jesus as good as Robert Powell did but also great performances by the whole supporting cast they did an excellent job and Franco Zeffirelli is another reason why this series came out so great or in this case so real and even tho it's been years since i saw it it's not something that is forgettable honestly always.

There are, literally, no words to describe this. A depiction of life of Jesus Christ that touches your soul in every imaginable way.The cast is so brilliant that you forget that you are seeing a TV mini series. Robert Powell is like he was destined to play the part of the son of God.The direction of Franco Zeffirelli leaves you with awe. The music of Maurice Jarre is majestic and fills you with emotions. The script...well...the script it was written by God through the apostles.This is on TV every year, and every year people sit and watch it again for the nth time! A masterpiece.

This was a well made miniseries. A more humanistic approach of telling the story of Christ.For a miniseries, the cast they've chosen to play the roles was great. The first example is how well Robert Powell portrays Jesus. I love how he never blinks. Second comes Michael York, who plays an excellent St. John the Baptist. In fact, Michael York reminded me of Val Kilmer from Batman Forever. Thirdly comes Peter Farrentino, who plays the best St. Peter IMO. I love how energetic St. Peteris. Fourth comes Peter Ustinov, who plays Herod really well IMO. The music is excellent and heart warming. Finally are the Virgin Mary and St. Joseph. Anne Banecroft was great. She also played in The film Fatso. The actor chosen to play St. Joseph was great. Love how James Earl Jones is in a miniseries about Jesus.
