DVD Reviews of The Miracle Maker - The Story of Jesus
DVD Review: Excellent Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
If you wish to teach to your littles kids about the history of Jesus of Nazareth, this movie is an excellent tools to teach them.DVD Review: Very Good Family Easter movie
Summary: 4 Stars
I teach 6th grade Religious Ed. And I am always looking for good movies that are within the Catholic based beliefs. This movie was highly recommended by Relevant Radio (a Catholic Radio Station)as a good family movie. I no longer have children at home, but my husband and I enjoyed the movie. It is animated but very well done. I also really enjoy the "making of the movie." DVD Review: Excellent Easter viewing for the whole family
Summary: 5 Stars
Was highly recommended and lived up to expectation. "Claymation" movie that provided an entertaining and fairly accurate representation of Jesus. Great Easter time treat!DVD Review: Loved this movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this movie most importantly because of this: Jesus is portrayed in such a way that you can see why so many people would follow Him. He is personable, empathetic, engaging, at times light-hearted, loving and speaks the Truth. So many movies about Jesus portray Him as if He is melancholy with kind of a "zoned out" appearance, speaking without emotion. I thought it was well done and engaging for children. DVD Review: Great for Easter and all year long!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is by far the best "Jesus movie" I've seen (and I'm not just talking for kids). I bought it when my oldest was little and have now re-bought it on dvd. It sticks to the scriptures and focuses on the ministry of Jesus, without being cheesy. And they scored some great voice talents (Ralph Fines as Jesus) to tell the story. Great to watch during the Easter season or all year long.
Description of The Miracle Maker - The Story of Jesus
This animated feature-length life of Jesus boasts a stellar pedigree. Originally a BBC: Wales production, it showcases the voices of some of Britain's finest actors in any medium: Ralph Fiennes as a brooding and humble Jesus, Miranda Richardson as Mary Magdalene, Richard E. Grant as John the Baptist, and David Thewlis as Judas. The lovely, flute-heavy score is by Oscar winner Anne Dudley (The Full Monty). And clearly a lot of expense has gone into the Claymation-like animation. But while it's hard to find fault with the rendering of this familiar story--it's respectful and definitely done, you might say, by the Book--it would have been nice if there had been a tad more joy, if it walked a bit lighter in its sandals. As it is, all the characters seem consistently subdued, whether they're expressing angst, rage, terror, or bliss--none of which is helped by the figures' blank-eyed stares (if animators are becoming ever more sophisticated, why can't they get rid of those creepy Charlie McCarthy gazes once and for all?). Still, the weight of having such formidable actors play these familiar roles lends the production a certain credibility, and parents looking for good religious videos that won't insult their kids' intelligence will be thrilled. --Anne HurleyFeature Films DVDs
