Too many things wrong with the movie. The movie skipped crucial parts. Jesus battled Satan after his baptism which was skipped over. Jesus got on his knees and wrote on the sand before the lady was to be stoned.

I am a Christian and as a Christian I believe that Jesus is God. I also believe that if one depicts Jesus inaccurately or adds or takes away from the biblical texts as this film does that person is blaspheming God. Know the true word of God as its written.

Highly inaccurate and uninspiring. Completely fabricated and a fictional Jesus not related to the biblical Jesus.

Some viewers will doubtlessly be moved, but it will be more from what they bring to the table than what has been laid out for them.

San Francisco Chronicle

Killing Jesus is, for the most part, a missed opportunity, and despite its few good points, you're likely to conclude that, once again, the book was better.

Rated: 2/4

Daily Telegraph (UK)

A worthy addition to the canon of Christ films, if not quite touched by divine inspiration.

Rated: 3/5

National Catholic Reporter

"Killing Jesus" is remarkable in how it captures the devotional Jesus; it is unremarkable in showcasing the radical Jesus, that is, how he upset the status quo of the religious culture of his day

Ken Tucker

Yahoo! TV

Rendered without much embellishment and acted with firmly controlled vigor, Killing Jesus, a TV adaptation of the bestselling book by Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard, is a fine retelling of the story of Jesus Christ as a historical figure.

Mark A. Perigard

Boston Herald

The three-hour film is choppy, particularly in the first half, yet ultimately is an effective, compelling retelling of the story of Jesus' crucifixion.
