Phoenix is a BEAST! But let's keep it real! The Israelites that the Bible speak of are the scattered Hebrews here in America and the 4 corners of the Earth, the so called Negros! Facts! The Gentiles (Europeans) will NEVER confess that. Jesuse was a so called Black Man, not a Gentile. That Gentile is a cold human being, not all but, those in high places who will still not only a people and their lands, but will make the Images of those people after the likeness of themselves. Everything and Everyone who was Great has to be in there image.😂😂😂😂 - @Friday, July 20, 2018 1:38 AM

Personally I have disliked the movie. It might have many misguided acts. At times it takes me to the question have the Writers read the scriptures careful however. I give them 4/10 #mythoughts - @Tuesday, July 10, 2018 7:58 AM

This movie I was excited for when I started watching it there's so many biblical things that are wrong in this movie. 41 Jesus is way too old in this movie. it's also very boring and you don't know who anybody is which apostle is who all you really know who Mary is who Jesus is and Judas. my favorite scene is when Christ was crucified Mary decided to go take a swim in the lake - @Sunday, July 8, 2018 7:10 PM

Seems like holywood is not a true holy wood these days. Another christian "lost land" just like Constantine in the history.

I will tell you the truth about the Christ He is not a god but a noble prophet Born in peace and lived in suffering and fatigue with the children of Israel He is descendants of the Prophet Ibrahim The Jews claim that they killed him Of course they did not kill him and did not crucify him He lived the rest of his life in peace with his mother Mary in Syria and lived there in peace until he became old and then died peace be up on him And I wish God Almighty to gather us in Gardens of Bliss with him and the Prophet Moses and the Prophet Muhammad The best creation of God - @Friday, June 29, 2018 5:03 PM

"Christ the son of Mary was no more than a messenger; many were the messengers that passed away before him. His mother was a woman of truth. They had both to eat their (daily) food. See how Allah doth make His signs clear to them; yet see in what ways they are deluded away from the truth!" Quran - @Friday, June 29, 2018 12:27 PM

Jesus, what is wrong with people this days. On one side, if you are atheists and have no interest or respect in religion why on the earth do you even click inside? Just don't watch it! On other side, some neoconservatives are actually angry about using Jewish actor to portrait Jesus? Go read the freaking bible PLEASE! - @Thursday, December 28, 2017 1:47 AM

Juaquin is the best actor to come out of Hollywood. Why he never got an Iscar for his performance in "Gladiator" is beyond me. It just shows what a joke the Academy is. I watch "Gladiator" so many times just to watch his genius. Every tick,every nuance he put into Commodus is so believable. I feel Joaquin is a 'working actor, in other words he's not there for the recognition, fame of fortune, he's there for the art and craft of acting. - @Wednesday, December 27, 2017 9:20 PM

The wallet-waving Christians should know: Blind Items Revealed #3 January 20, 2017 This A-/B+ list mostly movie actress from an acting family that will always have more money from something other than acting cheated on her boyfriend with one actor she met on set. She took the boyfriend back for a few weeks and then crushed him again when she started hooking up with an actor on a new movie who is one of the best friends of the first actor she hooked up with. Whispers of a threesome with both actors is also being talked about by crew from the latter movie. Rooney Mara/Casey Affleck/Joaquin Phoenix POSTED BY ENT LAWYER AT 1:20 AM Lest we forget: Blind Items Revealed #5 February 7, 2017 I don’t think she will be invited to many family events after what happened this past week. Unbeknownst (can’t believe I finally got to use this word) to our B+ list mostly movie actress from an acting family, her possible future sister-in-law was hanging out at the home of the boyfriend of our actor. Considering that our actress used to sleep with the husband of the possible future sister-in-law while the husband was still married, proved awkward. Awkward in the sense there were threats of physical violence. Rooney Mara/Summer Phoenix/Joaquin Phoenix/Casey Affleck POSTED BY ENT LAWYER AT 3:30 AM If that isn't greasy enough for you yet, it's also a Weinstein Company production. - @Thursday, November 30, 2017 6:57 AM

Terrible trailer. Really awful. Poorly edited! Bad casting, either. Worst Jesus ever! Love Rooney, but she's not a Mary Magdalene! Phoenix and Mara are garbage in this trailer, and both are so, so good! Garth Davis was in pretty good shape in Top Of The Lake, but Lion was so unnecessary and forgettable. Makes me think he shouldn't be shooting these big movies with overdramatic plots. Well, there's one really good thing in this trailer: Chiwetel Ejiofor. What an actor! So convincing as a disciple. St. Peter, I think. Anyway, except for what I just said about Ejiofor's Peter, I really, really hope to be wrong about the movie and main characters. - @Thursday, November 30, 2017 2:34 AM
