C'mon, folks! - Let's get real - (Whether you are a devoted Christian, or a confirmed atheist, or whatever) - We all know this one's story far too well to be at all surprised with anything that we are going to be shown here. It's true. Now 52 years old (and creaking pretty badly) - This carefully staged biblical-drama (with its $20 million budget) not only took itself way too seriously (like, isn't there any room in Christianity for any humour?) - But, its final product (and its unendurable 3.5-hour running time) certainly left a whole lot to be desired, from my perspective. Anyway - When it finally comes down to overall entertainment-value - If I were given my choice of religious-themed movies - I'd certainly take Monty Python's parody "The Life Of Brian" over this laughably pretentious, self-righteous schlock any day.
