I am a person who loves movies, and i love historical onces, or that has a historical theme that takes place in a historical time, yeah what ever u wanna call it,
So i am wondering if anyone could tell me if this is an ok movie to see for a historical fan?
It's dull and lifeless. Honestly, sleep inducing and doesn't even capture the desert it's supposed to represent well at all. It will test your patience, not your faith
sharelol..somewhat of a good description...worth waiting to watch on dvd/blu ray/digitially..whatever... imo as far as movies go you can do worse..but it's not great either
"Dull and lifeless????" There wasn't a single scene in that movie that could fall under that classification. The story and characters were vivid and interesting. My patience was never tested and neither was yours since you clearly didn't see the movie.
That's fine if you aren't interested in the movie or what it represents, however it's truly unacceptable that you create posts based on a lie.
lol lie?
Maybe look up the word 'opinion'...
I'm the product of a fu7ked up generation. I can't even seem to find a sunset to walk off into
Opinion?? Wrong!! It's a known fact that the anti-Christian crowd come out in force on IMDB to vote 1 star for any movie with a Christian theme.
I don't understand why they feel so threatened by Christianity. They like to cite the Crusades of 1000 years ago, however, what they fail to grasp is that if it wasn't for rulers like Richard the Lion Heart, who drove out the invading Muslim armies, all of Europe would have fallen under Islam.
The early mathematicians of the Middle East gave us the 10 base number system, algebra, among other accomplishments, but with the rise of Islam all of that was considered anti-Islam and it was abolished. The Middle East became scientifically dead. This is what would have occurred in Europe if Islam would have become the ruling majority. We would have none of the technological advancements we do today, and our lives would resemble that of the people who currently live in Saudi Arabia. Where people are executed for simple crimes, women are treated worse than cattle, and homosexuals are put to death.
Please Google The Barbary Pirates for another lesson on Islam. Those Muslims raped, pillaged, killed, and sold well over a million people into slavery during their reign.
Any other false premises you have please feel free to share them.

I'm convinced to watch it by your historical aptitude.

It was... a very solid 3. He said, Lifeless and dull? Come now man, art thou made of stone? ^_^
Yep. I was amazed to see it had over a six on here. Considering the atheist/agnostic/etc crowd is hell-bent to one-star anything even vaguely Christian that number is pretty impressive.
Oh, why are they threatened? Because somewhere inside every last one of them with an IQ over 80 knows they are wrong.

I am a Christian and I love historical movies, that being said this movie is one of the most boring biblical movies I have ever seen. Words can not describe just how boring this movie is, I didn't expect much but was hoping for something at least on par with what I might see on The History Channel and I was extremely disappointed.
shareI disagree with the other posters. I thought it was excellently made historical film, as far as costuming, conceptualization and little historical details.
"The thing I hate about an argument is that it always interrupts a discussion."

It was an amazing film. You're not going to get high level CGI. It's a drama. Low key drama slow paced...Even the miracles are low key relying on dialogue and camera only. The story makes the movie. Just a wonderful film. The message is peace so except for the necessary death scenes, it glides along to convey the transformation of an unbeliever to a believer. But, it is not about some powerful moment...more of a low key understanding....while sticking to Biblical history.
That's what makes the message and movie beautiful...

Galena,
I totally agree with you! As you watch the movie, you go on the journey with the characters. It is as if you are walking along with them- feeling the emotions they felt at the time. It renews your faith and makes your realize how loved we are by our creator. Great movie!

For a historical fan, yes, it's worth a watch.
It's nowhere near the caliber of "Gladiator," but it is engaging and does have a relatively realistic view of the period.

Nowhere near the caliber of Gladiator for a historical fan? Because Gladiator was actually completely fabricated and the makers made no attempt to stick with historical events, especially in regards to the emperors depicted.
I meant in terms of film making quality -- Gladiator was fabricated, but it was extremely well done, massive in its scope, with gorgeous costume design and an awesome script.

Fabricated, yes, like all movies based on history. But there's quite a bit of historicity to the film
I didn't care for the movie "Gladiator", it had some good scenes and moments but it was very overrated.

This was an excellent movie. A new different perspective on story of Christ. Well acted and true story telling, not relying on special effects.
shareIt was excellent. The writing, acting, directing, cinematography were all top-notch. It's a thinking person's film about the resurrection of Christ, told through the eyes of a Roman soldier. IMO, this is Joseph Fiennes best performance in years! His powerful performance made the movie.
shareYes! The wife and I went to the 7:35 showing last night and it was very good. The reviewer who replied claiming that it was "dull and lifeless" obviously hasn't seen the movie. The acting is first rate, as is the cinematography, etc.
I would be the first to admit if this were a B quality film, and it simply isn't. I was waiting for that "one" unbelievable actor (like the girlfriend of the main character in "God's Not Dead") and there weren't any.
I usually watch action movies (Kingsman,etc) or comedies (Spy,etc), but I can say with 100% sincerity that this was truly a very good movie.
BTW, please ignore the people who give it 1 star because it's a Christian film. Those people truly need a hobby, dog, or girlfriend to get them through their miserable existence.
Yes. Artistic license is taken. It is not all biblically accurate. It shows characters, events, and how one skeptic was changed. Interesting through a Roman military commander's eyes.
