This film is based off the Biblical testament, and was adapted from the ten hour miniseries entitled The Bible from the History Channel. This follows Jesus' teachings, his trail, and his crucifixion.
This film was directed by Christopher Spencer. This is his first directorial debut outside of televised documentaries. The story is typical to what is preached in church, complete with the most popular religious phrases. There is not much historical accuracy outside of what is mentioned in the Bible and what has been researched on this religious topic. However, this film does keep with recent historical research in that it makes changes to previous tellings of this story. Mary Magdalene is only a follower, and is no longer the prostitute. There is no featured deviled in this film, and God only remains a spoken about entity. This film keeps its focus on the people present and the events that happened to them. This film is also very cleanly done and an obvious church service. This can make it dull, but still emotional. Unlike previous films, it shows more about how he gained followers and about the threat he created to those of power. The special effects are not great, but showcase the point. This film was established more for followers than for general audiences. Apart from making Jesus a fully developed character, all other characters remain to secondary to be of any importance. Sebastian Knapp played the role of John. His character's only purpose, other than being a follower, was being the narrator. There was nothing to establish him from the other followers. Diogo Morgado played the role of Jesus Christ. He was great in the role-creating the typical variation of Jesus.
I give this film 3 out of 5 stars! It is a great film for those who already follow this religion, but it not a great general film.
