 Not as biblically accurate., 2008-11-09
This video is not as biblically accurate as I was led to believe by the other reviews. I purchased this to augment my bible study teaching so I may be a little tougher on the movie then most people. Dramatic license is taken in several places because of the need to let the viewer know some of the backround as well as the portraying of the actual incidents in Jesus' life. The movie is already 6 hours long so I can understand the necessity of this but some of decisions by the producer are almost ridiculous. Young Jesus is portrayed by a young man with blue eyes, blond hair, and the whitest skin I've ever seen on someone from the middle east. All in all though, the movie has some cool parts and is worth watching. I would recommend it.

 Brilliant, 2008-09-09
Very nice interpretation of the story of Christ's life. The blue eyes of actor Robert Powell is bright, dense and expresses both compassion and suffering borne by the Passion that contributes to the brightness of this beautiful film.
"Jesus of Nazareth" has converted one of my fellow class mate. I recommend it with that of "The Passion of Christ" by Mel Gibson.

 Good compilation of Gospels, 2008-06-08
The story is a compilation of several Gospels and encompases the whole of his life (per documented accounting in the bible). It is an awesome movie - despite the droning musical soundtrack. :)
This Jesus is lovely to look at, but sometimes he seems possessed and dead or wooden rather than peaceful. But, he does do wonderful justice to his peaceful, merciful and loving nature and does display some of his passionate nature.
This was my favorite all time Jesus movie until I saw the Gospel of John of the Visual Bible series which I totally recommend (narrated by Christopher Plummer)- That movie presents a Jesus who was alive, enthusiastic and had fire in him in a 100% accurate account of the Gospel.
