Sean T @RT58161048 1d One of the few movies that shows how epic christ and his mission are. Amazing visuals and music. I love how they use parallels from Christ's life with his parents to bring depth and context to the temptations, scriptural quotations with layers of meaning, and give satan powerful and convincing dialogue showing his power and evil without making him childish or superficial. Really brings into perspective the weakness of humanity and what price is worth paying for them. Great watch for holy week! See more Hai T @RT56467491 4d Thank you for this film. Superb acting. Watched this during holy week. Loved the lines as they were bible verses. Gave me the visual of what Jesus went through during the 40 days and nights. This movie gets my thumbs up! See more Donna M @RT16052284 03/09/2025 The movie was incredibly well done, the acting was wonderful and the concept of the movie was fresh and taking a perspective We haven't really seen much of before. Without going into much detail the only criticism that I have and it's not a deal breaker, but the fact that they used a female child angel near the end of the movie is not biblical at all. There are many types of angels but children are not angels and never become angels. That is false doctrine so if I were to change that and have an angelic man if they don't want to use any of the angelic beings who do not look human, or resemble humans, The better alternative would have been to use a man. That being said I would totally recommend this movie. I also hope that the people creating these Christian movies would be absolutely certain of their factual content based upon biblical and extra biblical works versus the societies expectations or norms. Do not be deceived and always use discernment when watching movies of this sort. Great deceptions will come even to those who claim to be God's children.

It won't ever be a cult classic, it doesn't get a 5 because it's a block buster; it gets a 5 because the story is awesome. I'm sure few, if any, non believers would watch, but the anguish of a man's heart, who is perfect, and fasting, knowing He is the chosen lamb who fulfills all prophecy is displayed in a fantastical way. Loved it.b See more 04/21/2021 As a religious person who doesn’t read the bible, I love this. Suicide isn’t the answer. You’re just passing the hurt to someone else. See more 05/03/2020 An absolute must see that has a huge entertainment value and amazing performances. Both the directing and the screenplay complimented each other well and I just thought that this was incredible. A great way to enjoy 2020 in film! See more Read all reviews
