Marketing the Messiah

I found it a interesting watch and I find the reviews even more interesting with how many outright bash people beliefs. Imagine this but it was the Koran, how tolerant do you think those believers would be of the movie? All in all worth watching but Christianity is a easy target and it does not take much courage at all to make a movie like this about it.

Cameron's put together a wealth of research and interviews, mixed it all together with the trademark humour from his podcasting career, and gives a strong sense that the picture is so much bigger - that there's more yet to explore and discuss. It's got a lot of content, so be patient with it. And bear in mind this very much about the history of early Christianity and doctrine (and changes in historians' perspective), and less about the mythical or religious elements - although they do enter into it too. Maybe it should have a byline: How to fine-tune a religion for maximum market share and domination, if you're one of the Apostles.

I actually learned quite a bit from the film, but was very off-put by the cringe humor. Maybe you need to be Australian... however, it was refreshing (as an American) to see someone other than Ken Ham speak about the Bible with that accent. I would much prefer less movie references and the animations to support the information being presented by the experts, not as silly gags. (Score is weighted to balance grumpy Christians)

It's OK. I feel like the documentary made a lot of sense. I need to check the verses that they quote and probably should go through all of the Bible first but in any case I found it fairly thought provoking.

I came here to check the reviews and saw some ppl who have been offended by this and consider it "fake news". I don't think it's fake news I think it gives a fairly balanced approach to the reality of the situation.

My true rating is probably 7.5/10. It's good, worth a watch but won't say anything you didn't already knew.

I am not a practicing Christian so did not feel I had something to defend. I do have history degree so was interested in a non-religious view. You won't find it here. Be prepared. This isn't a fact based account. It is an argument for the writer's position. Fair enough by the way. Just know what you are watching.
