A little bit too much creative liberty

I'm sorry but I really don't like this film. Kevin Sorbo is not a convincing King Herod. I've seen him in many other films but IMO this role does not fit him. Also, the young boys' accents are so thick I can barely understand them, and yet as adults the accent isn't there. Then there was the "angel" that appeared to Joseph... he looked like a fiery-eyed demon. I did not like him at all.

As for the plot line, I get this is fiction but I think it stretches things a little too far. Quite frankly it is difficult for me to accept it as believable.

One point.of accuracy... the Wise Men did NOT go to the stables. That was the shepherds. The wisemen appeared a couple of years later. That is why King Harold ordered the execution of.children two years old and younger, not just infants. Plus Matthew 2:11 clearly states they went to the child's HOUSE. I don't know why so many don't understand this.

It's not kosher to butcher a biblical story.

With exception of a few names like King Herod the Great (lifted from the Gospels) & Dysmas (lifted from early Christian traditions) the writer, producers (I think they set a record with the listing), director, & actors strayed in imaginary directions that didn't even adequately explain the basis for Dysmas saying to Jesus at their mutual crucifixion, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your Kingdom." And the presentation of that explanation was the whole reason for telling this story.

This is a story that has a powerful message in Luke's version of the Passion of the Christ and strong extra-biblical traditions in the early Christian stories & traditions. There was so much richness on which to draw but it was mostly ignored. Such a tragedy.

The production values are almost nonexistent. It is obvious that no corner was left uncut. The writer of the book was also the writer of the screenplay & the one of the Executive Producers. He even managed to weasel a speaking role. So there was most likely no one to challenge the series of poor choices that were made during production.

This was a waste of time making & viewing. Painful to do so actually. I didn't see an option for zero stars or that is what I would awarded it. There are much better ways to spend $9.99 on Prime.
