The Life of Jesus Christ

I would critique the actor's portrayal of Jesus, but I think the sterile form of Jesus was how the LDS church wanted it, so that like a blank canvas, the viewer can superimpose the Jesus they really want onto the very neutral portrayal. However, this portrayal of Jesus leaves the viewer with such a bland version of Jesus as to be unsufferable, and the old english makes it worse. The actor is to blame a little because of the inability to connect with him at all. He's too "ryan reynolds" to play a convincing Jewish prophet of the 1st century. Actors have to bestow divinity without coming across as an alien in a human skin suit.

This movie is straight off the KJV bible. Every word is spoken in the KJV like as if you're hearing the words from the KJV while you're watching a visually touching movie. John Foss is my favourite actor to portray Jesus Christ
