Sadly I have to give this a very poor rating 
2008-08-08
I loved this movie, man. However I can't give it anything higher than a single star. It could have been great but for one very important issue. The Centurion who is present when the earthquake occurred during Christ's crucifixion states "Truly this was A Son of God!" WRONG! Read the Bible my friends, the Centurion said: Matthew 27:54 "Truly this was THE Son of God!''
Whether this was simply a misspoken or flubbed line, some slack oversight by the writer, or an intentional, calculated misrepresentation of the Word of God designed to throw confusion into the mind of the viewer.. I don't know. If I had been working on this project and I'm sure this movie was proof-edited before being released, I would have caught that. Man, when that scene came up it literally hit me like a ton of bricks, man. Did he just say "A Son of God?" NO, NO Please, I hope I didn't hear it correctly. I had to play it again just to make sure... Yes, they screwed it up, man. Shame. Other than that, I REALLY, REALLY liked this movie. I wanted to love it, to give it honor and stuff you know. But that one glaring little bit just derailed the whole love affair I was having with this flick, man. I thank God for movies about Jesus, man. I love the Lord and I want His Words to be remembered accurately. This is not a small issue in my opinion.. Of all the lines, of all the scripture that they could have tweaked, THIS is not one that should have been touched. Don't mess with the Personage of Jesus, man. I thank God for showing me the truth in these matters. I share them with you. THANKS GOD! (Spoken while pointing both index fingers toward the Heavens!)
The miracle maker - special edition 
2008-06-26
This movie is very good. I enjoyed watching it with my children. What I especially like about it is that it is 90 mins long so I get a good time to sit and enjoy with my family and of course I get my moneys' worth. A lot of animated movies are just 30 mins long and cost the same or more than other animated movies twice as long. This I believe is a disadvantage to the customer.

I enjoyed this movie and so did my children. They could barely take their eyes off the screen they thought it was so interesting. I was really happy with it.
My Review Of The Miracle Maker 2008-04-02
This animated story of Jesus is done in clay-mation, a classic form of animation that can be best for this movie. It tells about Jesus and his teachings and travels all over Israel healing the sick and comfort the sorrowful. It also shows Jesus' death and resurrection that may be a little scary for little children. Ralph Fiennes does a wonderful job providing the voice of the Son of God. This film is perfect for Christmas and Easter and also perfect for Sunday School at church.
Suprisingly strong story with unique claymation format 2008-03-10
A "claymation" Jesus? How's that going to work? Surprisingly well! While artistic license is taken (if you're looking for the real deal, read the New Testament), this ranks up there with films like Franco Zeffirelli's 1977 "Jesus of Nazareth" (seriously!). Caution to parents with young children: it has some very intense scenes and should defintely be viewed by parents FIRST. Well done, it was first shown on ABC Sunday night of Easter several years ago.

The greatest story ever told comes to life in spectacular clay animation. THE MIRACLE MAKER: THE STORY OF JESUS will raise your faith to new heights. Featuring the voices of an all-star cast, Christ's ageless tale unfolds around the story of a family seeking help for an ailing daughter. When they cross paths with an extraordinary carpenter named Jesus, the family's faith is put to the test as the father is torn between allegiance to the king and the desperate need for the miraculous powers of God. Don't miss this blessed opportunity to witness firsthand the power and the glory of the kingdom of heaven in your own home.
A Pastor's Dream 2008-02-13
This movie is a great movie to show at your church. It is a great compilation of the four Gospels. Basically the movie is delivered in a "claymation" format, with a few animated interludes.
The movie, quite simply, is a presentation of what the life of Jesus was like based upon the four Gospels. There are times where the filmmakers may have to create a few transitions that aren't strictly Biblical. For instance, we don't know that Jairus' daughter watched Jesus as a carpenter (as portrayed in the opening scene); yet based upon what we do know, it is very plausible.
So overall, this movie is written and produced with the DEEPEST respect for Jesus as presented in the Bible. NT Wright, the only orthodox NT scholar I was allowed to read in my Divinity School, was one of the main advisors on this project. With all the "Last Temptations of Christ" and "Jesus Christ Superstars" out there, this movie is a huge breath of fresh air.
As a pastor, I find this movie an exceptional teaching tool. It allows people to see and feel the Jesus story in its proper historical context. The voiceovers are superb and most of the best Bible stories (the temptation of Christ, the Good Samaritan, Lazarus' resurrection)are included. Furthermore, rather than taking a slice of Jesus' life, like the "Passion," it is a whole telling of the New Testament story. This movie is arguably the best Jesus movie to exist right now.
As good as can be 2007-12-14
I really like the music, the gestures, the sometimes very subtle expressions and humor. Watch it frame by frame!
A Gospel Masterpiece 2007-10-29
A masterpiece! The combination of supremely talented actors, artists, and story-tellers have captured the Spirit of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God through this touching portrayal of Christ living and giving His Life for all! A powerful message to believe and keep on believing!
the miracle maker-What a disgrace of a movie, not Christian at all. 2007-10-17
this movie is by far the worst I have ever seen, its unbiblical, holds no water what so ever, I would not want my kids seeing this type of rediculous movie, for one its not Christian, 2 peter is called the "rock" instead of Christ, he also said that upon peter the church (which is the *elect* or *called out ones* those who are born again in Christ that is by the way)will be built, why would GOD build his church upon a fallible man instead of building it upon the massive giant rock which is him, the Christ the son of the living God? also if you read where it says "thou art peter, upon this rock I will build my church" if you also read a few verses before that, its made clear that the foundation which is laid is upon Christ, so how can it be peter? the scriptures are clear on that one so to say that peter is the rock is completely a contradiction and completely unscriptural,it doesnt say upon you peter I will build my church, complete add on, not bible, its blasphemy.... many verses are left out completely, the verse where Jesus says "it is written man shall not live by bread alone but by every word of GOD" that is completely missing, it only states it is written man shall not live by bread alone, what happened to the rest of the verse?? This is such a dissapointment for a movie, I would suggest you to not even buy it because it is a waste of money and time. Also another part in the movie where they ask Jesus, what must I do to be saved? and he answered to love your neighbor, how does loving your neighbor, take you to heaven? We cant do nothing in our part to be saved it is a gift from God, the finished work of the cross has nothing to do with loving "our neighbor" completely unbiblical, if it were up to me I would put a zero for ratings, why not take it out of the bible instead of adding so much and taking away from the scriptures, its a shame that there cant be a movie made without being completely destroyed and corrupted by mans fallible mind. Kids see these types of movies and yet they can get the wrong message out of it, its about spreading the truth not sugar coating it to suit people or to please people but to please God. Another part I disliked about the movie was with mary and martha, Jesus never told martha to take it easy, infact when martha complained at Jesus about mary because she was not helping her but instead she was listening to Jesus's words and what did he say "Luke 10:41-42..And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. Sadly they left this part out also, once again this joke of a movie holds no water what so ever, I wouldnt recommend it to anyone a true Christian would not agree to such a movie as this, Gods word is important and not to be played with at all, or taken from or added too... what a dissapointment.
