DVD Reviews of Matthew: Visual Bible
DVD Review: The best one of the visual Bibles
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't know why people like The gospel of John better. I never had. Matthew is so much better. I saw an edited version of Matthew on tbn in '94 and thought it was great. and bought the 4 tape vhs in '96. and got the dvd in 2000. Matthew portrayel of Jesus was unlike any portrayel I ever saw before. from his tender compassion to jolly sense of humor to his serious side. Bruce does a great job of acting. A must see.
but when John came out in '03, it wasn't anything like Matthew. I was highly disappointed. He wasn't half as jolly as Bruce. I guess I was expecting something like Matthew.
DVD Review: Jesus smiles!
Summary: 5 Stars
Too often, Jesus has been portrayed as stiff, overly serious and moody. Not here! Jesus is portrayed here as funny, friendly, compassionate, serious at times ... and yet free to smile and occasionally deliver lines with a wink. This helps put many passages of Matthew into perspective and illuminates his intended meaning. This movie is a must see for all who want to get to know Jesus better. Highly recommended. DVD Review: A laughing, happy Jesus...
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband and I really enjoyed this movie! We have three different movie portrayals of Jesus Christ, which are completely consistent with their respective Gospels, and we enjoy all of them. (Read my other reviews if you're interested in them.)
The happy, laughing Jesus in this movie is intriguing. The way he speaks to people and looks at them warmly portrays his love for everyone. I think the actor really does a great job of portraying the duality of Jesus, how much he loves us, but yet that all is not hearts and flowers and warm and fuzzy due to the human condition.
If you're looking for a great movie to share with friends, family, small group, etc., this is it! Don't watch late at night because you'll want to stay awake!
DVD Review: scratches head.........
Summary: 5 Stars
i scratch my head so to speak when i read the reviews about this movie being anything less then five stars! do not listen to those reviews, THIS movie is life changing & the BEST portrayal of the Lord there is out there,DVD Review: Overly Happy Jesus
Summary: 3 Stars
Over all, I'd give it a 6 out of 10 rating.
The two major problems -- (1) the juxtaposition of a later-day "narrator" Matthew with the actual events in the Gospel (as opposed to the vastly superior Gospel of John, where the narrator was heard, but never seen); (2) the happy-clappy, perpetually smiling and backslapping portrayal of Jesus, even when the event at hand would indicate that he was unhappy or sad or angry or frustrated or concerned. After a while, all the laughing and smiling is off-putting and totally unrealistic to any real person, even the realest of persons, i.e. Jesus. Portraying him as if he were an insincere politician or tele-evangelist (sorry if some folks actually find tele-evangelists genuine and sincere - a few are, but a few also give off the appearence of snake oil salesmen) or hippie is not a way for folks to find him appealing. He was similar to the hippie Jesus in Godspell, but in a different way, of course.
Jesus obviously had (has) a great deal of personal dynamism and charisma, but the Gospels themselves show that he was not ALWAYS laughing and smiling. I would have to rank this Jesus below that of The Passion of the Christ, Jesus of Nazareth, and Gospel of John (better than the 50s and 60s versions though).
