the purpose of this film is the big question who remains after its end. because it is not portrait of the Savior or the portrait of a Prophet. the Gospels are only pretext. the implication of good actors - decorative. and the desire to redefine His existence and work - wrong. too long, too innovative and unclear, it is an exercise to present a good guy who has not specific identity, who not gives a specific message, who looking like Christ but at the level of poor sketch. something missing. and it is something fundamental for do a credible story, to remind the word of Jesus, for be a real testimony about a mission and about sacrifice. it is not a problem of freedom of expression or about the religious believes. but the manner to send a credible vision about the second person of Saint Trinity.

I thought the title was to describe the "crucifiction" of Jesus Christ, but instead, it was to crucify the truth about Jesus Christ himself. Now that I've watched the movie, I KNOW why they gave it the Title "KILLING Jesus".. It's because Hollywood is the one who is TRYING to kill Jesus" with this movie... If Agnostics were FORCED to tell you the story of Jesus Christ, it would go something like this movie.. One of the most APPALLING tales of Jesus Christ ever produced. This movie claims "accuracy" yet throughout the movie it absolutely denies even the most simplest known facts. Even more pervasive is the fact that with great "intent" they set out to make serious insinuations that are not true at all but certainly help the argument of any agnostic who would want to view Jesus Christ as just a man. If through a film, you could spit on the very history of Jesus Christ, this movie is a gesture in that direction. Christians who watch this will be appalled and agnostics will have the luxury of yet another falsified documentary to add to their belief, or lack thereof.

Spoiler alert: This is a poorly done movie about the Greatest Story on Earth. From the beginning of this movie it is inaccurate both by history as written by Ciafis and by the Bible. This is obviously a Hollywood version done by ignoramuses who either cannot read or didn't read the Bible story of Jesus. The actor who portrayed Jesus was a poor choice and his lines were poorly done. Although his lines were probably part of the farce the movie Mogul put together. I am surprised that the actors who are easily identifiable did not protest the poor structure and story line as presented. If your are planning to pay money to see this movie, save your money. If it is a free view I am sure you could find something more uplifting to watch.

-Killing Jesus (2015) movie review: -Killing Jesus is a TV movie by National Geographic, giving a look at the ministry and death of Jesus of Nazareth from both his perspective and the perspectives of those who ordered his death. This attempt as a religious telling takes a non-biased look at the story of Christ, essentially adding biased against the truth told in the actual story. I'll get in to that later.-Technically, it was not that bad. I will review part of it from that standpoint. However I am also going to review the content and what it represents, which was less than satisfying for a film that only needed to do the same as the other hundred films like this one.-The story was told from both the perspectives of Jesus' captors as well as Jesus, so it feels inconsistent. They also skipped a few points that help develop other points in Christ's ministry.-The film had a slow start and an odd pace that rushed through a bit of time without letting the audience know. Rushed ending too.-The acting is functional. Haaz Sleiman plays a good Jesus, but not a great one. It also has some people like Kelsey Grammar, Rufus Sewell, and John Rhys-Davies in it, who do a good job.-The characters are not all that good or accurate. Jesus whines and at one point talks about how He wants to lead a rebellion with swords. Because that obviously happened. To make this part short, when it comes to characters there is almost no regard for the actual Bible.-I liked the music. It was very Bear McCreary-esque.-The production value was acceptable, and I loved that they had a Jewish looking Jesus. Other than that, this film is both factually and Biblically inaccurate through most of its passive attempt to tell the story of Christ. Ending it ambiguously while not having things like the Holy Spirit in it once just truly take everything out of the meaning.-Technically, it is not terrible. It has a decent design, acting that is not too bad, and a good score. Biblically and historically, it gets little right and takes the extra step to ensure this comes from a non-biased worldview, which in turn takes God out of it. Killing Jesus is not worth the time.-Killing Jesus holds a PG-13 rating for violence and some partial nudity.
