Nice effects though.

Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

I have the VHS version and a certain scene is deliberately missing! Where he is taken by the temple guards to a stable area,where he is then knocked down by a guards blow,gets back up and a rack is suddenly on the wall behind his head,that wasn't there originally, with a jug directly above his head!

The Jesus Film is recognized as the most watched film about the messiah.It stars Brian Deacon in the title role.It tells the story of the messiah from his birth when an angel of the Lord announced to Mary about bearing a son who is going to be the messiah up to the passion,death and resurrection of the Lord.Despite the fact that it is far from being a masterpiece and far from being comparable to the likes of Robert Powell's Jesus Of Nazareth and the mere fact that it is dry and boring,the movie still would not fail to please the viewer especially in narrating the story of the messiah.Added to that,it has become effective in reaching million of people around the globe in telling the story of Jesus as the makers of the movie were authentic and sincere in proclaiming the Good News.

I learned of this movie when I was in college. It was the best discovery of my life. If memory is serving me correctly, it was sent in the mail throughout Alabama for a short time for people to have for free. It is well-made and biblically correct. It gives a message of hope and reaffirms one's belief in Christ. If you do not know Christ, he is definitely worth meeting and learning about. Once you have accepted him your life will change for the better! This is a movie to watch alone, with friends or family. Watch it with your enemies..:) Watch it multiple times and you will learn something new every time! I give this movie a 10!

To write about such a delicate film as about Christ Himself in this age of an extreme political correctness is a tough task. This work appeals immensely to all the believers and works out fine to convert all the newcomers. To the non-believers, this work will seem dull and boring, but then, let's be straight - this is the most accurate, the most precise and elegant retelling of the Gospel According to Luke. Since I am a Protestant Christian myself, I must say that this film really did help me to understand who Jesus is and what He was doing among us the people on Earth. The play of Mr. Deacon is very good, he does an extremely difficult work and he does it well. I remember my eyes were wet with tears during the Crucifix scene, and then my heart leaped violently with joy during the final scenes. The film is very well done, by seeing the sandy dusty plains and hills of Israel, you feel the smell of age, you do believe in the truth of the plot and you do follow the film scene by scene. A very serious and thoughtful work.
