Son of God

"Joining the prestigious likes of the original Battlestar Galactica and the Nicholas Hammond Spider-Man show, TV show The Bible makes the leap from the small screen to the big screen with this new film about history's most famous figure."

"This stiff, earnest production plays like a half-hearted throwback to the British-accented biblical dramas of yesteryear."

"It's a movie that embraces the nearly pedagogical predictability of lines like "Where's Judas? You seen him?" or "Thomas, stop doubting.""

"That Morgado plays Jesus as more smug than beatific doesn’t help, nor do the thinly developed characters and some awkward bits of original dialogue."

"The two-hour film condenses about four hours of what already was hasty television, and it all winds up a little dramatically static."

"Almost invariably heavy-handed and obvious from beginning to end."
