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 Nov 21 A very impactful movie experience.
