A half-hearted action movie, not addictive!

All the highlights are over in the first half, which is the process of Tribune quelling the rebellion and collecting clues to the Jesus incident.
A small-scale battle perfectly demonstrated the prosperity of Rome. I was also impressed with the funeral of the soldiers who died in battle, and full of honor.

After seeing the first half, you will always look forward to a higher climax scene or story development later. Isn't the climax arrangement of general movies all based on this logic?

As a result, whether it was Tribune's shock when he saw the resurrected Jesus, the change in faith, or the flight with the eleven followers of Jesus, not only was it dull, the plot turned too abrupt, and it didn't seem to be preaching for Jesus in the end.

The actors' facial expressions and acting skills are indeed superb, and the male main eyelashes under the close-up of the face are so beautiful.

And when Tribune glanced at Jesus who was crucified and died, the look of Jesus, some bits and pieces of high-quality shots, made up a lot of the gap I had with this movie.

It is not recommended for those who like Roman and Greek war films, unless you are also interested in Christian stories such as the Passion of the Christ.
