Right calling a movie boring, unfaithful to the source material, a quick cash in on the miniseries, and hitting all the big scenes while missing the subtext. All while pointing out several other better movies about Jesus Christ. This was probably the least politically loaded review he could have done. Did you even watch the review or did you just see that a "far-left liberal atheist" doing a review on a Christian movie and decide to drag out your own soap box? The quote you have above doesn't have anything to do with what your saying but is a face palm about the cash grabbing exploitation that is this movie.
Remember, this is the guy who gave "White House Down," "Avatar," and "Elysium" positive reviews.
I loved the mini-series, so putting it into theaters would probably make fantastic viewing. I may in fact do just that later this weekend (if the weather cooperates.)
"Least politically loaded" in the sense, but why is an atheist reviewing a film about Jesus? Who is he really gonna convince? Other atheists will give him a high five, totally, but he'll just alienate his Christian fans.
Yes, because "God, I hate Christians" is exactly what I got out of Bob's review.
