So yeah, its basically a section from The Bible miniseries that already aired on TV. Aka a tactic often abused in the anime industry. A large chunk of anime "movies" based on an anime TV show are just recaps of the show with a tiny bit of new content added. It is cheap and almost is nothing but pure profit. You can't fault them for being able to dupe people out of their money.

And The Bible's big numbers on TV *and* Passion of the Christ proved they will see it - and that droves of them are quite possible. That said, this thread is the 1st I'd ever heard if it...

I could call anyone that pays to see 'Son Of God' fools... Cause it's been on TV for free.
But then I remembered, I paid to see an episode of Dr Who at the cinema in 2013. So yeah, it's like don't judge unless ye be judged or some shit.

It's weird I had/have no interest in The Bible, but I love when stuff is re-edited/repurposed and I love biblical movies, so learning the background of Son of God here makes me curious to see it. I wonder if it will defy standard trends and be Sunday heavy rather than Friday heavy.

It blows my mind that people are willing to see Jesus movies every time that they come out, a) it's the same story every time and b) the Zeffirelli version is the pinnacle of the genre. I don't even like the Bible and I've watched that one a bunch of times just based on how well made it is.

If you wanted big crazy spectacles, that's where it was at (also sword and sandals (themselves having an inherent potential for crossover with Bible movies, and Harryhausen films and Toho/Daiei imports). I think the ultimate realization of this is The Bible... In The Beginning. Beautiful, plodding, overlong, portentous, star studded. It's like excess personified. When Dino De Laurentiis truly became Dino De Laurentiis, and the ego of one John Huston is on full display where in a movie directed by him he's both the voice of God and Noah.

I went and watched it tonight (I didn't get to see it when it was on tv). It wasn't bad but it doesn't compare with the past epic Bible films. The special effects leave a lot to be desired but since it was originally made for television, I guess I understand. Again, it's nowhere on the level of The Ten Commandments or some of the previous films based on the Bible. If you're looking for something like that, you're not going to get it. The two other Biblical films that come out later this year (Noah and Exodus) look to be more on the epic scale.
