From his birth in Bethlehem to his death and eventual resurrection, the life of Jesus Christ is given the all-star treatment in this epic retelling. Major aspects of Christ's life are touched upon, including the execution of all the newborn males in Egypt by King Herod; Christ's baptism by John the Baptist; and the betrayal by Judas after the Last Supper that eventually leads to Christ's crucifixion and miraculous return.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Interminable and intolerably reverential.

fresh:
Mr. Stevens has done it in a generous and often stunning style. And the quality of his reverence should captivate the piously devout.
– Bosley Crowther,
New York Times,
9 May 2005
rotten:
By reputation, the results are so dull and so consistently undercut by a succession of star cameos that no one seems to mind the various shorter versions released since them, one of them less than half as long.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,
Chicago Reader,

fresh:
The prophets should speak with respect of this $20 million Biblical epic.
