Summary: More than WOW
Review: Having not seen the dvd before buying it (a friend recommended it) all I can say is WOW. An incredible portrayal of someone who would have attracted the crowds that the actual Jesus did. It was a pleasure to witness a Jesus that was not somber, depressing or scary as in so many other movies about Jesus. As a preacher of the Gospel, I will show this again and again to whomever will give me the time to do so. You can follow along in your bible as it gives the verse reference for every word in the bottom right of the screen. Five stars is not enough for this movie. I cant wait to receive the Acts dvd that I just ordered.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Outstanding Performance.Jesus portrayed As He Was JOY
Review: Outstanding Performance by Bruce Marchiano& Richard Kiley.Jesus is Incredibly Loving and kind. One is drawn to Him(Jesus) by His love and compassion. The healing scenes are very moving. I do believe that Jesus was just as Excited as those who were healed because He loved meeting the needs of people and showing His love. His non-verbal communication of Joy shouted His Love to People. His message is Love. How can we help but love Him and Give Him our all. Yes Bruce Marchiano captured the Love of Christ to us, manifest by "The Joy of the Lord". Richard Kiley is also marvelous in his role as narrator and Tax Collector Matthew. Outstanding Film ...It will touch your heart with the love and Joy of the Lord!

Summary: Life Changing!
Review: The Matthew film has made a huge impact on my vision of the personality and character of Jesus. This film is word for word to the NIV translation of the Gospel of Matthew, and shows the chapters and verses in the lower corner of the screen. There are no added stories, characters, or words; but all of the emotions are expressed to their fullest which gives you a great understanding and meaning behind what is being said. It identifies a very approachable and caring Jesus figure. This film has inspired everyone I have shown it to (and I have shown it to many). In my personal opinion, the character of Jesus that is portrayed in this film, matches the Gospel more than any other movie I have ever seen about Jesus. This video has given me a great picture to go with the words written in the Bible and has helped me get a better understanding of what I am reading. I highly recommend this and all the other films made by The Visual Bible; they really do an outstanding job of adding personality to the characters. I am convinced that this is very close to the way it really happened (besides being white and speaking english of course;) I hope this review helped!

Summary: A Great New Way to View an Old Story
Review: Using the NIV text as the basis, these DVD's are a film recording of the gospel of Matthew. All the dialog, narration, everything is directly from the Bible.

The wonder of these videos, however, is the fact that they are able to make you think. While sticking so closely to the Bible and with well researched visuals, the producers, directors, and actors give their own interpretation of the story, which allows you to open your eyes to something new. The best example of this is Bruce Marchiano's portrayal of Jesus. Instead of the solemn, serious person you usually picture, here we see a person who enjoyed life, laughed, and had some fun in between dealing with the serious issues of life. When I first watched these videos, it made me look at my preconceived ideas of God very differently.

While expensive, these DVD's are worth checking out for a different perspective on a familiar tale.
