XL: The Temptation of Christ

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.

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!

This movie was nothing short of AMAZING and I hope more Bible believing and knowing Christians get to see it because it uses A LOT of scripture. We should be immersed in God's word and know it through and through and understand what the Spirit is saying. For those who thought this was boring, perhaps you should read your Bible more or do you find that boring too? Every single word Jesus spoke was from scripture and so it brought everything together for me since I was reminded of verses in both the old and New Testament. I am only 25 years old but I love reading scripture since it is my daily bread. I felt fed and full after watching this on pureflix. Thank you so so so much for this.

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.. )

Mr Vail,you did an awesome job depicting what Jesus would have encountered during his 40 days in the desert , his agony and temptation were brought to life. Absolutely worth watching and rememgering what the messiah went through. Please accept my warmest and sincere review as outstanding in every way-George Petroski.
