The Young Messiah (2016)

I thought that I was going to a Bible film but . . .

[6/10 · 20 March 2016]

. . . then a Harry Potter movie broke out. All the elements of J.K. Rowling's Beloved Batch of children's stories are present in THE YOUNG MESSIAH flick, with the exception of Hogwarts School (perhaps the producers of this controversial flick are saving that for a possible sequel--when you grab a random name from History, and then invent 99% of your plot and dialogue, you theoretically can create a Never-Ending-Story, along the lines of the seemingly infinite but self-confessed fictional film franchises for James Bond and Star Trek). In the role of boy wizard Harry, a seven-year-old lad dubbed "Jesus" here amazes his peer group of fellow youngsters by transforming things and bringing critters or people to life, left and right. Filling the Muggle part of Harry's Cousin Dudley Dursley is a similarly husky bully named Eleazer. THE YOUNG MESSIAH's Hermione counterpart seems to be a winsome and doting female cousin to Jesus. Since you cannot have a Harry Potter without He Who Must Not Be Named (VOLDEMORT!), there's an unnamed character here that's omnipresent at THE YOUNG MESSIAH's elbow (SATAN!). One could go on, or you can see the picture for yourself.
