XL: The Temptation of Christ

The movie is slow going and barren but this is to be expected! After all, it is a film based on Jesus in the wilderness. Nice sound track and cinematography. Inevitably the best scenes involve interactions between Jesus and the Devil. Dialogue tends to revert to scripture, which isn't a bad thing! The movie is slightly formulaic and derivative. I guess they had to include filler scenes to elongate the movie. The main protagonists were convincing enough in their roles. I actually would give it 6.5 if the option was available!

It is a really good movie, the music, the way they have captured the light when Jesus is talking is just amazing. its a perfect movie for anyone that has read the bible and or also for any movie lovers out there.

Really enjoyed this movie, plenty of scripture and a good watch, those that have given bad reviews " especially the same guy twice " may possibly be non believers that did watch it all, or maybe? Just maybe want to put others off. Don't fall for this rubbish , even if they did watch it all then they did so with poor understanding of what happened, as Christians we both really enjoyed the movie, if you are not then please don't try and dissuade people who have faith, not in what is seen but what is unseen, because what is seen is fleeting and what is unseen is eternal. Oh and no violence etc so All in all a good clean adaptation that a Christian family can watch ,without the worldy rubbish and lies. Oh and every thing said by the actor portraying Jesus IS ACTUALLY SCRIPTURE " EXEPT 2 LINES" SO BIBLICALLY ACCURATE.

I think they did a beautiful job. Love the cinematography. As for those that hate it, whatever. The promises are beautiful and poinent.

Yes, it takes its time, but I guess that what you have when in the desert 40 days. Time to think, time to hear. This isnt "Speed" or "Gone in 60 Seconds", which is apparently what the creatins were hoping for.

(I've only watched the first 1/2 so far and was irritated about the bad reviews.. )

From a Christian perspective, This movie has done its good work. The Director and the Script writers have brought some of their imaginations/insights into the plot which is not abusive or misleading.

For those people who are non-Christians and those who gave bad reviews, There is no action,violence and strong language in this movie.

What do you expect from a Christian movie?

It's a good recommendation for a Christian
