Rating:  - The best one of the visual Bibles
I don't know why people like The gospel of John better. I never had. Matthew is so much better. I saw an edited version of Matthew on tbn in '94 and thought it was great. and bought the 4 tape vhs in '96. and got the dvd in 2000. Matthew portrayel of Jesus was unlike any portrayel I ever saw before. from his tender compassion to jolly sense of humor to his serious side. Bruce does a great job of acting. A must see.
but when John came out in '03, it wasn't anything like Matthew. ... Read More
Rating: - Jesus smiles!
Too often, Jesus has been portrayed as stiff, overly serious and moody. Not here! Jesus is portrayed here as funny, friendly, compassionate, serious at times ... and yet free to smile and occasionally deliver lines with a wink.

Rating: - scratches head.........
i scratch my head so to speak when i read the reviews about this movie being anything less then five stars! do not listen to those reviews, THIS movie is life changing & the BEST portrayal of the Lord there is out there,
Rating:  - Overly Happy Jesus
Over all, I'd give it a 6 out of 10 rating.
The two major problems -- (1) the juxtaposition of a later-day "narrator" Matthew with the actual events in the Gospel (as opposed to the vastly superior Gospel of John, where the narrator was heard, but never seen); (2) the happy-clappy, perpetually smiling and backslapping portrayal of Jesus, even when the event at hand would indicate that he was unhappy or sad or angry or frustrated or concerned. After a while, all the laughing and smiling is off-putting ... Read More
