	Best version of John as an overview of Chritianity  Dec 15, 2009
Many people suggest sending new Christians to read John as their first foray into the Bible. It will introduce them in the important tenets of being a follower of Jesus. This DVD is by far the most accurate and revealing portrayal of John that I have seen in a movie version. Kudos to the acting - especially of Jesus' character - it even revealed some new facets for me, and I am a longtime book of John fan. I am sending copies to my loved ones who want to know the Lord more.
	Outstanding and true...  Nov 24, 2009
I was stunned how this film moved me. I did not know what to expect, but I did suspect it was either 'Hollywoodized' or mediocre, as a result. Instead, I found it to not only be true to scripture (in fact, you can sit with your Bible and follow along, word for word)--- but performed with rare a depth. The acting, setting, costumes - everything, enhanced the story in meaningful ways. This is an excellant way to introduce those who are visually-oriented (as well as addicted to 'Hollywood' caliber drama) to the Gospel. A final note - by all means, watch the 3-hour version. The 2-hour one is good - but critical (in my opinion) verses are left out (i.e., when Jesus explains how the Judgement works).
	Would be better reading the Bible  Nov 22, 2009
When I realized this was a three hour movie, I thought I was going to be losing intrest by the end. The movie was intresting enough to keep me watching with some sense of excitement. On the other hand, I would rather read the Gospel of John and see all the details and the exact words of the Lord Jesus Christ than watch a movie that paraphrases the holy words of our Savior. Overall, this movie tracked along with the Gospel of John. It showed many of the characters intorduced in the book and gave a bisic description of the life of Jesus. The movie showed Jesus healing the sick, raising Lazarus from the grave, saving the womans life who was caught in the act of adultry and many other stories taught in the Gospel of John. The movie showed the struggles that Jesus and his disciples faced while presenting the fact that He was the Messiah that those in times past prophecied about. I have been active in my church for my entire life. Because of that, I am very familiar with the Gospel of John. The movie, somewhat realistic, did not tell all the details associated with the story of Jesus Christ. Oner for example, What happened to John the Baptist. Another is after Judas betrays the Lord, the movie does not show him hanging himself because of the guilt he feels. One of the biggest, most important things left out was Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane praying and asking God to let this cup pass from him. This is one of the greatest parts of the story of Jesus. Christ knew no sin, yet he took the "Cup" which contained the sins of the whole world and drank it. Although of some of the scenarios seem minor, anytime you are duplicating the Bible and Jesus, there are no small details.
	Fact and fantasy merge into an interesting film  Nov 13, 2009
Not being a christian I have reservations about biblical films of this sort..History,and historians have been deconstructing the fables of the bible for decades now,showing how the scripture,far from being firsthand or divine accounts is in fact after-the-fact propaganda designed to increase membership and establish lines of authority..That many today prefer the fantasy to the facts is a matter of religious training,doctrine,wishful-thinking and a need to feel that we do have value in a world where science explodes this notion with each new,cold,sterile discovery.. This film,containing a fine blend of the humanity of the writings ascribed to John with the fantasy-oriented articles of religious faith that make the book so important to believers is an exception to the otherwise dogmatic charlton Heston-type biblical epics,which present cardboard personalities and one-sided notions taken directly from whatever mainstream religious groups were involved in the script-writing..That a religious narrative can be transformed into a gripping story involving everyday people and extraordinary situations is a welcome change from the many one dimensional"Jesus-of Nazareth" sagas that have littered the screen since the first motion pictures were exhibited.. That this film can both satisfy the believers and work as a sort of semi-fictional narrative that is moralistic,inspiring,and necessary in our world today says much about the skill involved in the making of the movie and its participants. That i,as a non-christian,might view the story itself as being something other than reality or real history does not detract from the fact that I find the film both interesting and successful...One need not be a believer or a christian to find the charecters all too human,and the points made all too true..
	Moving, Loving Film  Nov 3, 2009
I agree with the individual who said the two-hour version is very good but the three-hour version is great, because the latter has a whole lot of the biblical narration used to place the actors in context. Of course, it is difficult to perfectly perform a written description of history, with all of its God-breathed emotions and descriptions and significances, through the eye of a camera lens. We are, after all, just human. BUT this is the most loving, moving, engrossing attempt I have ever seen. Cusick is passionate about bringing the human side of Jesus to the audience, and it pays off. I turn on this movie (or even fall asleep to it) when I want to hang out with Jesus, as a friend.
