Excellent adaptation.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

I liked this movie, even with some of its faults depicting a time in history. I specially like that they chose the Resurrection, because we already have many options about the Passion. And in fashion with all the crime scene investigation on TV here a Roman tribune investigates what happened to the body of Christ that the Romans expected to remain buried, but somehow the tomb was opened and empty. As a story for the screen it is entertaining and with convincing scenarios most of the time, as well as good acting. The research does show in uniforms, the tomb, houses and furniture of those times, and a few aspects of the Jewish Temple. The research is only half done about geographical locations in Galilee, which this production unfortunately depicts as a desert near an ocean; or about the contents of the Bible: details like who were the real witnesses, what the apostles really said, etc. but oh well, it's literary license and enjoyable as is.

Truth and fiction combined to make a powerful statement of faith

Even with the flux of bad movies all around us Risen is unique in how bad it is, no plot, no action, no rhythm, and even if Tom Felton and Joseph Finnes are good actors the movie managed to pale their performances. It seems to be a Christian movie. I would stay away from it,far away

I saw the title and it interested me. I read several reviews which were conflicting so I decided to watch the movie. The first hour seems as if it could have been something that happened after the Resurrection but at about the 1 hour to 1 hour ten minutes it changes to something that was impossible according to scripture. I found it strange that the movie was made in the USA but people have English accents as well as Irish and Scottish accents. The person they chose to play Jesus just looks like an average vagrant and nothing like any picture anyone has seen. actually thought it was a British movie when I heard the people speak but according to IMDb it is an American movie. For a B movie it is okay, I just wish they would not indulge themselves to make it look like a Roman protected the Disciples.
