Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Tacticalin An absolute waste of money

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

saru-88447 This movie has tried to explain the origination/rebirth of Jesus in a different/magical way. Nothing else was interesting enough to mention.

Richard von Schweissguth I, like you, have likely watched so many films on the resurrection of our Lord Jesus. And so many have been left wanting. Risen is no different except to observe that it fills in many personal blanks left out of most other efforts.I will just summarize instead of waxing. This film is superb in most ways! It is touching to submit a hardened Roman Tribune; at the crucifixion and death of Jesus, entwined within a struggle of Roman power and his sword obedience and his personal experience and therefore his undeniable belief. What would you do? You supervise the brutal execution of an enemy of the state, and then witness the same man alive beyond a shadow of a doubt. You can never, ever... argue with a man that has had an experience. And that man cannot successfully argue with himself to an untrue conclusion.This film screams... "Jesus Christ has risen from the dead!" Which is the only truth that separates Christianity from every other religion. Oh, but they "stole the body"...! From the Roman government. A sealed tomb. Guards present and subjected to death if they failed in their duty to stand guard at the tomb. Not rational or likely. All of this is well addressed and noted.The inaccuracy most observed in this film is when Jesus ascends to heaven at the conclusion movie. This didn't happen at the sea of Galilee, or where the film placed it, but on the Mount of Olives. Just outside Jerusalem.But still I can imagine when Jesus ascended it wasn't this floaty, clean, nice, peaceful experience....... but I would like to think that when our Lord ascended it cleared the sinuses of anyone within and 10 KM radius. Love the blast wave! :0)I am not much of a reviewer, but really did enjoy this film. And it touched me! As He has always!

zst zee Even with the flux of bad movies all around us Risen is unique in how bad it is, no plot, no action, no rhythm, and even if Tom Felton and Joseph Finnes are good actors the movie managed to pale their performances. It seems to be a Christian movie. I would stay away from it,far away

jkm0119 I saw the title and it interested me. I read several reviews which were conflicting so I decided to watch the movie. The first hour seems as if it could have been something that happened after the Resurrection but at about the 1 hour to 1 hour ten minutes it changes to something that was impossible according to scripture. I found it strange that the movie was made in the USA but people have English accents as well as Irish and Scottish accents. The person they chose to play Jesus just looks like an average vagrant and nothing like any picture anyone has seen. actually thought it was a British movie when I heard the people speak but according to IMDb it is an American movie. For a B movie it is okay, I just wish they would not indulge themselves to make it look like a Roman protected the Disciples.
