Try as filmmakers might to top "Jesus of Nazareth" for best gospel film, they can't. The latest attempt is "Son of God" (2014). I was shaking head and muttering "no, no, no" through the whole thing.The actor playing Jesus is too decorative. He's more like a televangelist. The show screams Hollywood. Jesus of Nazareth is epic, captivating, accurate, spiritual, historical, Biblical. Robert Powell's Jesus is so real it's scary. Compare just the two images. Which one looks more like your idea of Jesus? In 36 years, Jesus of Nazareth is still can't be beat. I recommend watching this film during Lent.
