The Greatest Story Ever - Very badly told!
By a customer from London, England , 27 Mar 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
Someone took the events of the Gospel accounts, chopped and changed them more than a bit, threw them into a hat, gave them a good shake - and came up with this film.
If you are looking for an even reasonably accurate representation of the Gospel accounts, both in content and chronology, this film is definitely not for you!
Additionally, the Jesus depicted here was most unimpressive and uninspiring - totally out of character with the Gospel Jesus.- Was this review helpful to you?

Endurance Test
By Jimbowhite (69 reviews) from Durham , 02 Nov 2007George Steven's epic depiction of the gospels hinges on his obsessive reliance on centuries of Christian art and music, not to mention a strict adherence ot the gospel text. This leaves little room for inovation (then again this was the 60s), and ends up a pretty static, cheerless experience. Max Von Sydow is ok as the otherworldly Jesus, but the fact that this film bombed at the box office perhaps illustrates the needs for a more human Jesus. John Wayne as the centurion pretty much sums the whole experience off. Worth it for the student of Film and Religion, or anyone else on a rainy good friday afternoon.....- Was this review helpful to you?
