Roma Downey’s ‘The Bible’ mini-series slammed in the New York Times
With the mini-series, which stars Downey as the Virgin Mary, premiering this weekend, Neil Genzlinger of the New York Times has reviewed it and says it leaves much to be desired.
Concluding his criticisms, Genzlinger writes: “The result is a mini-series full of emoting that does not register emotionally, a tableau of great biblical moments that doesn’t convey why they’re great. Those looking for something that makes them feel the power of the Bible would do better to find a good production of ‘Godspell’ or ‘Jesus Christ Superstar.’”...
At least The Bible movie gets people talking?! Did anyone notice the commercial for the Roman Catholic Church? C'mon really do they have to promote their "Superiority" by presenting a commercial. Now that was disgusting. Now let's talk about the bible See John1:1-15
Knowing Tozer it's probably good. Knowing the History Channel, and anything that had to do with Christianity this production could only be bad. Funny, this woman doesn't look Jewish to me.
No, Frank, the History Channel won't get an award from the NRB--yet. Now Richard Dawkins might give them a prize for their ongoing work of attacking Christianity.
No more heroes wrote: By any measure episode 1 was a very poor dramatization. Even the unbiblical bits were often plagiarized from other movies. Still this twice divorced devout Roman Catholic, who supported a murderer for President of Ireland, gets her self-fulfilled wish to play Mary mother of Jesus. "It's all about you Jesus" Another surefire award winner for the National Religious Broadcasters no doubt!
Very good comment; no more heroes. I agree fully with your thought process.
