Review of The Nativity Story (2006) by Ericc. — 23 Mar 2007

If you really must watch a wildly boring religious drama, atleast make it one of the classics like Ben Hur, which used influential techniques in film making (this movie does nothing new or remotely impressive).

This is just ridiculous. Apparently since millions wanted to watch Jesus die for a couple of hours, they also wanted to watch his beginning for another grueling couple of hours. But while the Passion was popular for a while before becoming a joke, this one has been a joke from the beginning.

And rightly so. The film makers used promising actors and religion as Oscar bate, but no one was biting. I hope to become a film maker, and I know that there are right ways to handle religion and wrong ways (sorry if I sound abnoxious).

So Jared B, if you want to know how no one except for the super christians have been giving this a good review, there's my reason why.And anonymous guy, historically accurate might be the wrong word for a movie based on different stories from a book, which disagree with each other on major points (lets just pretend not to notice that, and yes, I have read the Bible, so I'm not talking out my butt).

March on christian soldiers and batter my review if you want. This movie sucks, and I'm sorry your strongly biased eyes keep you from seeing that.
