      Pickatcu 1 6.4/10 I've been wanting to see this movie for a while just out of curiosity...you don't see Christian Bale as Jesus Christ every day especially in a TV movie. The plot of this movie was classic but very very fast paced to the point where I thought it wasn't going to end in the resurrection of Jesus... surprisingly it did.To tell the truth I was glad that he showed them so soon and it was no longer than two hours unlike others of similar content. Its cast as well as the soundtrack were good,nothing great but good.Her settings were classic and predictable, I don't blame her for that, after all the movie tried and relied on the Bible and the writings of the Christian religion as everyone surely knew them. Its ending is also quite predictable. In short, if anyone really wants to see a quick Christian movie about Jesus Christ starring Christian Bale in surely he can see this one, apart from that there is no other reason for anyone to see this film, let alone few people even know about it and I am not surprised by this particular fact. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Think I cried a million tears. Christian bale is amazing as Jesus. So many emotions in two hours! I could not have done what Mary did! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Batman is the son of God! Seriously, as a man of faith, this movie is really good. It dealt with a lot of issues I had with Mary. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Being a 'Star Wars' geek myself, I'm very amused by the fact that Pernilla August plays Mary who - by a virgin birth - conceived the son who was known by a religious prophecy as the chosen messiah. Not Anakin Skywalker, but rather, Jesus Christ. What an interesting film! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member It is safe to say that in an otherwise bad movie, Christian Bale is the shining star! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Christian Bale as Jesus! Heh! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
