Jesus

I have limited experience watching "Stage Plays" that have been filmed, preferring to attend the play in person. However, I have watched literally thousands of movies in my 65 trips around the sun. The cinematography was outstanding, considering the challenges of working with live stage lighting. The stage sets were a bit outlandish at times, but that is to be expected when trying to compete with the Marvel Cinamatic Universe (though I noticed that NONE of the other reviewers made ANY adverse comments about the "existance" of the God of Thunder, or slammed Marvel for including Thor or Zues, GODs, when clearly everyone knows there are no Gods...) As for the actors, they were all adept at their craft, but being mostly previously unknown in film, one could sometimes sense they were "over-acting" in an effort to get noticed by Hollywood.

As for the script... I really can't fault the screenwriters, because they were working with material that has been in print and unchanged for over 2000 years, and the origial writer was unavailable for comment, or rewrites.

Did I enjoy this movie? Yes, yes I did. Probably more so because I went in hoping for a movie that entertained, not a religious Revelation. What I came away with.....

Well, that would be telling wouldn't it.

I think that the people who reviewd this film didn't review it for sure.... It is not a simple film, it is a musical ! ( I hate musicals, but I won't give any grade here since I don't watch musical movies )

I have watched few stage dramas like this. this is so different from the others what i have watched. The Jesus character is so natural & other characters also. the drama was so attractive & meaningful. This is Outstanding!!!

I loved every minute of it. It deserves a rating much higher. It is a movie of a stage play but the sets and the special effects are amazing and even live animals are incorporated in the show. Also, the singing and acting was excellent. Some amazing voices

Lets be honest now regardless of what faith you may be believing (which should not be the base of your judgment towards this work of art) , these people managed to perfectly time everything , to go to the extreme to what's possible on stage and then pushing it a little further leaving you with the thought what is happening is impossible for a live audience stage play . The lights and colors were an experience of their own , and the camera work despite this being a stage play and those had to be done one shot was phenomenal . Bottom line they couldn't have done it any better .
