God creates satan, and then satan tempts god? ''Almighty god''? The boss of satan? Just horrible....

From a Christian perspective, This movie has done its good work. The Director and the Script writers have brought some of their imaginations/insights into the plot which is not abusive or misleading. For those people who are non-Christians and those who gave bad reviews, There is no action,violence and strong language in this movie. What do you expect from a Christian movie? It's a good recommendation for a Christian

I think they did a beautiful job. Love the cinematography. As for those that hate it, whatever. The promises are beautiful and poinent. Yes, it takes its time, but I guess that what you have when in the desert 40 days. Time to think, time to hear. This isnt "Speed" or "Gone in 60 Seconds", which is apparently what the creatins were hoping for. (I've only watched the first 1/2 so far and was irritated about the bad reviews.. )

I watched this movie with my kids and they kept asking did Jesus really act like that? Why is he afraid? Why is he acting like that? And I totally agree with them, They portray Jesus as startled and slightly in fear and contemplative of being tempted. Not only that, it shows Jesus as being tempted throughout the 40 days when it says in Mathew that he prayed and fasted for 40 days and then the devil tempted Him and Jesus quickly put an end to it, Jesus was never actually "tempted" meaning the thought of bowing down to satan never appealed to Him because He knew who He was. Now this doesn't necessarily make Jesus seem like He's considering but it kinda does, it certainly doesn't portray Him as quickly quoting scripture and putting Satan in his place. Also it portrays Jesus as almost a normal boy in His youth, all I could think of was the boy actor just maybe wasn't able to act and speak? Not putting him down but I assume they just made the roll easy for the kid as he barely spoke. I get people want to add creativity and imagine what could have happened but please at least keep it in the boundaries of being biblically accurate.

I wouldn't recommend the movie to anybody. The pacing is extremely off. About 60% is talking or Jesus walking without the story progressing. It's extremely boring and wouldn't recommend to anyone. Also they actually put chucky's laugh as the devil's laugh.. I'm not even joking, they actually thought it was a smooth idea to put chucky's laugh as- I can't believe it, just don't watch the movie.

This movie was nothing short of AMAZING and I hope more Bible believing and knowing Christians get to see it because it uses A LOT of scripture. We should be immersed in God's word and know it through and through and understand what the Spirit is saying. For those who thought this was boring, perhaps you should read your Bible more or do you find that boring too? Every single word Jesus spoke was from scripture and so it brought everything together for me since I was reminded of verses in both the old and New Testament. I am only 25 years old but I love reading scripture since it is my daily bread. I felt fed and full after watching this on pureflix. Thank you so so so much for this.

Too much liberty taken with the events and added dialogue to this story. Could have done better with editing, with telephone poles and tire tracks in the desert.
