 Sadly - I too was disappointed November 24, 2009
Melinda Marshall (Detroit, MI USA)
The acting truly WAS(as someone else called it) 'wooden'. I have read books about Paul and Luke, and have to believe that their characters were much more colorful, in reality, which this film captures barely in shades of gray. I purchase these types of films, for the purpose of showing them to those with little exposure to these stories. This film was for me, laborious to watch. I even broke out laughing out loud in a few places. Sorry .... I cannot give this a higher rating. It does not due Acts justice. I hope that Visual Bible's 'Matthew' is of higher quality.
 Terrible way to treat God's Word August 28, 2009

After showing the Gospel of John to my high school age Bible class, I was excited to continue with the Acts of the Apostles. The Gospel of John was well directed, well photographed and presented God's Word with the honor and glory it deserves. The Acts of the Apostles was filmed very cheaply, the direction and the "special effects" were terrible, the acting was rotten. Too much added to the actual text. Using Luke to narrate the passages that the director did not want to shoot takes away from the power of the scriptures.
The kids in my class spent more time giggling and laughing at what was shown on screen than learning God's Word. Hard to blame them though when the crowds presented act like they are in a Monte Python movie. The movie was intended to be an enrichment for our high school aged Bible study class. It was disappointing!

Terrible, wooden acting with an inability to pronounce even the most simple Bible place-names. For example, where the heck is "Chezzarea" ? I have a horrible suspicion they're trying to say "Caesarea" which should be pronounced "CAESAR-EE-AH". Why? Because the place was named in honour of the Emperor, hence CAESAR not CHEZZAR!! A great DVD set if you're having difficulty sleeping, but not much else to recommend it.

If you are a Christian or are looking for something different & fulfilling in your life this brings home the visual & verbal aspects of the bible. You get a better feel for what this book?video is all about. I highly reccomend this video. Better yet, get the Matthew video first. I'm sure you'll love this portral & concept of Jesus.
