My girlfriend and I both read the book last summer. She hated the movie and I really liked it. I am really curious what those of you who have seen it think. Did you read the book as well?

i have only stared at the cover of the book, i did however see the movie and i did enjoy it, i did find the movie a little flat in places and would give it a 7.5 out of 10

I have read the book and saw the film last night. Althought not as gripping as the book the film is nowhere as bad as the critics have claimed. i dont think that Tom Hanks was quite right to play the part. Vincent D'Onofrio - Law and Order - Criminal Intent - would have played the part much better !!!!

I never read the book, but I did see the movie. I thought that the movie was a lot better than the critics said it would be.

My wife read the book; neither of us have seen the movie. After she told me what it was about, I refuse to read the book or see the movie. I know it is "fiction" but it is blasphemous just the same.

I think "Cars" is coming out soon...

I wondered whether this would happen.

There are many aspects of the life of Jesus bar-David which the New Testament does not mention. Some are minor to the point of insignificance, such as whether as a carpenter he preferred Anatolian pine to Lebanese cedar. Others are absolutely major, but ultimately irrelevant, such as whether He was legally married and had issue (possible but not probable), whether he visited Britain as a child with Joseph of Aramathea (possible as Joseph was a friend of his father and travelled to Britain later, supposedly with the Grail but more likely chasing a lucrative tin contract) or whether he was gay (possible but unlikely).

In Christian teaching, the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us. To make the sacrifice truly meaningful, he would have lived a rich and normal mainstream Jewish life until the last few months.

There is nothing blasphemous here, just a slightly different take on things to (a) make a rollicking good yarn and (b) urge us to re-assess how we see JC, taking off the Sunday School saccharine spin and seeing him in a more real context.

OOhhhhhhh, won't this set a cat among the pigeons.
