Critics Consensus: The faithful may find their spirits raised, but on purely cinematic terms, Son of God is too dull and heavy-handed to spark much fervor.

It simply doesn't work.

Overall, Spencer's deeply reflective yet recycled conscious-driven epic seems robotic and compacted. As a faith-healing and feel-good big screen offering, Son Of God deserved much better polish and prose at the center of its pronounced pulpit

There is, of course, nothing new, nor an investigation carried out to provide other points of view... [Full review in Spanish]

The film's low quality, however, is undeniable. The chintzy music over the closing credits, just after Jesus ascends to heaven in a cloud of bundled iMac special effects, is just laughable.

It's a great option if you're looking for something with a stronger spiritual foundation than a lot of what is currently in theaters, but it will probably strengthen beliefs more than it will expand them.

Common Sense Says

Bland retelling of Jesus' ministry can be very violent.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that Son of God is re-purposed material from the History Channel's The Bible miniseries concentrating on the story of Jesus' ministry years, death, and resurrection. Although it's not quite as bloody and violent as The Passion of the Christ, the movie still features the violence of the crucifixion, like Jesus' flogging, the crown of thorns, and the nailing to the cross. There are close-ups of a bloody and beaten Jesus, as well as the two thieves crucified beside him. There are also scenes of dead Israelites killed by Roman guards, a child who is crushed and killed by a cart, and Judas hanging himself. Families must decide whether their kids are ready to see some of the more disturbing and bloody aspects of Jesus' story.
