My husband and I are devout Christians and have read the book, which we think was very well written. With great anticipation we watched the movie and were very disappointed. Although the part of Herod was very well done. The interruptions of the commercials were very distracting. The voices were very muffled and difficult to understand. If you were not someone who was familiar with the Bible it would have been very difficult to follow the story line and just which actor was playing what part ( maybe subtitles would have helped). In my humble opinion, I think it is very difficult for Hollywood to recreate the Biblical experience. I was also very disappointed that the actor who played Jesus was a Muslim, I am sure that there must have been a Christian actor who may have been able to play the role with a heart for the Lord. The actor who played Jesus, did not seem to be able to make me Believe, it seemed he was just repeating words that he memorized. Although I have a negative reaction to the film, I would very much recommend reading the book. I think that Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard have done amazing research creating these books and I am sure they must be a little disappointed with the production. Perhaps if this was a DVD and there were no interruptions with silly commercials it would have a better flow.
