Not even bad in a good way

Lack of good storyline.

Best movie ever!

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

I must say this is thus far my most favourite cinematic adoption of the gospel. I have watched them all I believe and I love them all for the interesting perspectives they offer, often very true to the written words.I will however say I was very pleasantly surprised by the breath of fresh air this brings. I was often surprised by the inclusion of parts of the story that is often neglected by other gospel adaptions, characters and dialog, and even the timing of the story is a bit different from the rest which kept me on my toes a bit and happy to see focus on bits that allowed me to reflect a second time and discover something new even.I feel this might be what "the passion of the Christ" should have been like, a less visually bloody affair but not any less touching.You should probably see it if you have not yet :)

Son of God (2014): Dir: Christopher Spencer / Cast: Diogo Morgado, Darwin Shaw, Sebastian Knapp, Greg Hicks, Roma Downey: This is the definite form of authority. Jesus born in a manger in the most humble manner for which he descends upon his followers. This is based on the mini series The Bible, which was successful and director Christopher Spencer brings portions of it to the big screen. The ultimate Christ film is The Passion of the Christ. This film doesn't match it because it becomes disjointed with regards to what is included here and what isn't. We have a brief flashback of the death of John the Baptist that was likely more detailed and fully realized in the mini series. We witness the oppression of the Romans as well as a variety of miracles performed by Jesus. We meet the disciples and more importantly we witness the arrest, trial, death, and ultimately the resurrection. Diogo Morgado portrays the humble nature of Christ. Darwin Shaw plays Peter whose loyalty is obvious despite denying Christ three times when pressure builds up. Sebastian Knapp plays John who narrates from exile. He is the last living disciple. Greg Hicks plays Pilate who is more or less pressured and influenced to sentence Christ to death by crucifixion. Roma Downey plays virgin Mary who must witness the events as they unfold. The film is better made than perhaps it indicates coming from a mini series but The Passion of the Christ is artistically done with innovative shots and use of lighting. Son of God presents the gospel disjointedly but should open discussion for its target audience. Score: 9 / 10

Lovers of Jesus, don't get upset. I don't like this movie. Why? Because I love Jesus! Just because you slap "Jesus" on the title doesn't make it perfect. The problems:We are given a mish mash jumble cluster of Bible sequence that seems like it went through a wood chipper. Most of the movie I was thinking "...wait a minute, that happened before/after/never" What audience is supposed to enjoy a jacked up sequence? People with limited knowledge will get wrong information and added confusion. Vets of the Bible will spend the whole time fact checking and finding out that the movie is WRONG.Near the beginning one of the disciples asks Jesus, "what are we going to do?" to which Jesus says, "Change the world!" Besides the fact that this exchange never happened in the Bible, Jesus came to SAVE the world. It wasn't a political movement, social movement, or self-help class. Jesus came, lived a perfect/sinless life so he could die in our place of punishment to cover our sins with His blood. Simple.The stoning scene was especially troubling to me. A group of leaders are gathered around the prostitute and want to execute her. They see this as a chance to test Jesus. Jesus gives the classic teaching "He who is without sin cast the first stone" to which we see all the stones drop from the crowd. The problem is they show Jesus like the rest of the crowd dropping His stone, implying that Jesus is guilty of sin. Either this is a terrible filming choice communicating the wrong message, OR an actual belief of the new age Downey... Jesus is blameless and without sin. This sinless life is critical to proving Jesus was God and also qualified Him to be the atonement for sin. Non biblical issue: SLOW MOTION ABUSE!!! Producers meeting: Guy 1 = Hmm, what is the best way to communicate that this moment is powerful/important... Guy 2 = I KNOW! Let's slow motion it. Guy 1 = I don't know, there are at least eleven important scenes. Guy 2 = Slow motion them all, it'll be great!!!

How dare we can write horrible reviews or even be a critic of a movie that is about our savior??? this movie was amazing and depicted Christ's suffering perfectly! This movie isn't only amazing but it shows how much God loves us. It breaks my heart that we would say such horrible things about this true and amazing story. I am so glad that it made so much money in theaters and i am so glad that people saw it. :)I love God and I love that movies like this were out this year! Glory to god! people need to hear the message of Christ and they need to hear the gospel. People need to hear and see this story and they need to know God loves them and they need to know that god cares about them. They need to know that there's something more to this life.
