Chris M @RT09927247 Mar 16 I’m not at all an emotional person the only thing that makes me cry uncontrollably is this series and any time I read about Jesus Christ I’ve never cried at funerals or when people pass but Jesus hits me differently that’s how I know he’s my one and only son of god ✝️ I’m getting emotional just explaining it. This series is exceptional and your never the same again spiritually once you see this. My family never been religious but after this series something changed in them and they gave their lives to Christ.

So overall it's a little messy but they stuck the landing well.

See more WarriorQueen G @WarriorQueenGoddess Dec 14 Robert Powell is the best actor I've ever seen. His portrayal of Christ is the epitome of greatness, and the face I have always envisioned in my mind. The subtlety, the nuances, the voice, the understated, sensitive, and powerful acting cannot be over praised. Zefferelli caught all the most important moments, and the message of salvation was clearly spoken. 5-Stars!!! See more John P @RT54890806 Nov 21 A very impactful movie experience. I was moved when I watched it as a young child and I am still moved whenever I watch it to this day. Franco Zeffirelli is at his artistic best and Robert Powell gives a powerful and emotion provoking portrayal of Christ.
