Pros: The best film about the life of Jesus of Nazareth ever made.
Cons: It runs against the grain of 95% of the stuff made by Hollywood.

Way back when I was a youngster in Louisiana, before I moved to West Texas, most of the people there in Louisiana were devout Roman Catholics and I really admired their faith. Being a Methodist (Protestant) I was different, you see, but all my friends...

Pros: Acting, Direction, Score, Cinematography -- the Works!
Cons: None I could see

Jesus of Nazareth (1977)

Franco Zefferelli directed this masterpiece of religious filming with loving hands. To his credit, Zefferelli chose to eschew any political spin of his own and stuck to the bare accounts of Jesus’ life from the four...

Pros: Robert Powell, the best movie Jesus so far. Quality movie includes a spiritual uplifting message.
Cons: Once or twice the actors seem to break character

Jesus of Nazareth was made for television as a miniseries in 1977. It ran four nights, and was one of the most watched programs that year. In case you missed it, they show it at least once a year now. The last few times I caught parts of it on ...

Pros: Devoutly reverent, generally accurate and often quite moving depiction of Christ's life.
Cons: Much too long, and the quality of the video transfer is dreadful.

I know I'm going to upset most of the others who've reviewed this film so enthusiastically, but after recently seeing (and reviewing) "The Greatest Story Ever Told," and "King of Kings," I still feel that the best of the three is unquestionably "The ...

Pros: Everything I've said in my review
Cons: none possible

To be completely honest, though, I'd have a hard time deciding whether it was wholly the movie, or more the story it tells. You see, it tells the story which guides my life, keeps me sane, and fills me with joy even during the most difficult of times....

Pros: Realistic! Makes the Bible come to life.
Cons: A bit lengthy [6.22 hrs], but well worth it.

JESUS OF NAZARETH - This is no ordinary Jesus movie! --SUPERB acting, direction, and production! This movie is very special to me. It's hard to put into words just how it affected my life. God used this movie to show me, and probably many ...

Pros: all too many to mention
Cons: none to speak of

A 1977 film directed by Franco Zefferelli, Jesus of Nazareth continues to capture the imagination of the religious masses of the world even after nearly 30 years! The setting of the film begins before Mary's conception and ultimately climaxes with the ...

Pros: Wonderful depiction of the life of Christ according to the Gospels.
Cons: A little dark at times it shouldn't be.

Zeffirelli's depiction of the life of Jesus Christ according to the Gospels is beautifully done both cinematically and biblically. The acting is well-done for the most part, though sometimes a little over dramatic. The cast is amazingly famous except...

Pros: A brilliant film that truly tells the life of Jesus Christ
Cons: N/A

This film was done so brilliantly and perfectly that there is no story out there to date that I know of that can beat this classic film. Jesus of Nazareth caught my attention when I watched it because first of all the actor who played Jesus looked just...

Pros: The best movie about Jesus ever filmed.
Cons: Nothing comes to mind.

Jesus Of Nazareth is a towering achievement of filmmaking.It is ,quite simply,the best movie about Jesus ever filmed.Franco Zeffirelli lovingly and reverently put this movie together and achieved a film for the ages.I can remember being blown away by...
