Another very inaccurate yet entertaining Historical film
I was quite surprised they started with Pompey's taking Jerusalem, it put them in a spot as the historians don't tell what Pompey found in the Holy of Hollies. It's intresting to read however cause Josephus implies he knows but that he's not allowed to tell us, quite curious.
trying to make it more an ancient Political thriller/Drama was quite odd, Barabbas may or may not have lead an insurrection, but it wouldn't have been a huge one with a popular following as the whole point was Pilate didn't expect the people to choose to set him free.
The best part for me was when Herod The Great died, very inaccurate, Antipas was NOT his sole successor, he ONLY Inherited Galilee and would NOT have even sat on the exact same throne, Herod Archelaus inherited Judea, Idiumia and Samaria but was deposed in 6 A.D.
Regardless it's quite fun watching Herod rolling on the floor Dieing and his Son just watching him then sitting in his Throne. And it has cool quotes
"A King who cannot walk to his own Throne is no Longer a King."
"Please put me on my Throne, I will not Die on my Knees"
*Puts foot on his Chest and pushes him down onto his back*
Very entertaining
The depiction of Judas annoys me, I don't know people keep thinking he was a Zealot, Simon (The other Simon not Peter) was the Zealot in the group, Judas's problem with Greed.
