Cobbled together from a History Channel miniseries, _Son of God_ lacks a cinematic touch. In a rather pedestrian way the film tells the Gospel story; following the birth, ministry, and death of Jesus of Nazareth. The storytelling and character development are quite poor, as the film pretty much requires the audience to already know the Biblical accounts of Jesus. Additionally, there’s no vision to this depiction of the Gospel. Bottom line, _Son of God_ is a bland, ambitionless Biblical film that offers nothing new or insightful.

Though not 100% true to the Bible, it's still a well-made and heart-wrenching portrayal of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. For more, see the review: http://rwlreviews.blogspot.com/2014/03/movie-review-son-of-god.html
