A Primeira Tentação de Cristo

So apparently it's 100% not okay to make fun of other religions like Islam Judaism or Hinduism but it's completely okay to make fun of Christianity??? I rlly wonder how blind ppl are!! If I could I'd give it 0 stars

The reviews so far have not been very informative - having been written either by Christians considering it blasphemous or by people rejecting Christianity and, therefore, enjoying it.. The truth, as I would like to show, lies in between.

As a Christian and also a Christian theologian, I say that there is nothing blasphemous in this movie. It's a satire and sometimes maybe a little bit over the top. If you enjoy "Life of Brian", you will also enjoy "The First Temptation of Christ".

It chronicles just a short instance in the life of Jesus - coming back from his 40 days in the desert before leaving for Galilee. It's a short movie that only lasts as long as a TV episode, 45 minutes.

What the movie achieves is pointing out those things that cannot be explained with reason, but only be believed, the things that the Bible doesn't give answers to and the like - and sometimes gives them its own answer that can be critical of current church practice.

As a Christian, if you're not already reflecting on your faith, this movie is a chance to do so. It doesn't take anything away from your faith.

I hope there will be a sequel! Jesus' story is not over yet.

Cmon with all these 1s. People are either just creating fake profiles just to add more1s( this is the only review), they didnt watch it all the way through, or they are on the "pretends to be offended by everything bandwagon". This movie is funny. Im a christian, not a very strict one, lord knows if what they say is true im probably going to hell along with everyone else but i have read the bible and do go to church from time to time and i still laughed at most of the jokes in this one. People are way to easily offended these days and even more so when it comes to religion. If god didnt want us to laugh he wouldnt have given us a sence of humor its to bad people try to silence theirs they might actually have a little fun every once in a while. I only speak english and am not a very fast reader so it was slightly hard to keep up with, i had to pause and rewind once or twice but all in all i laughed out loud by myself quite a few times so it had to be funny. People are acting like this was completly trashing christianity and that they were so disgusted by it lol. i didnt see that at all i saw them laughing along at something that was funny but not in a derogatory manner but i also laugh at horror movies when people are hacked up so maybe its just me. either way i recommend seeing it. leave your self righteousness at the door, loosen up, and maybe laugh at yourself and your beliefs it wont send you to hell.

I believe our creator gave us a sense of humor. Of course we each have different senses of that humor. If you have an open mind, go with the flow, and can except that no harm is meant in a somewhat sleazy depiction of these historical figures, then this is something that may allow a few chuckles to come out. It's a parody, if that bothers you, simply stay away.

First of all, this is a lousy movie. But I suspect that most of the people here that are trashing it have not actually seen it. They are just being told by the bigots in their pulpits and in the right-wing publications they read that it is something they should rail against. These people deserve the same level of disrespect that they regularly direct at those whose lifestyle is different from their own.
