Steineded How sad is this?

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

ecs25858 It was a two-part miniseries, the first half opened with a bang, and maybe even a bit of hope. The second half ended with a whimper and even ends basically with misery! It basically ended up taking us nowhere. Why introduce a 3rd Testament that would disprove the existence of God? The whole thing ends up being just a farce. I was really hoping that they were going to take this somewhere. The pacing is very slow, and sometimes the music seemed off cue. The music makes you feel disoriented. The message of the whole movie is meaningless! I wished that I had watched Hell's Kitchen instead! Gordon Ramsay would've added some substance to this rather bleak ending.

dsecrest *****Contains Spoilers*****This is a 2-episode, made-for-TV, movie. The first episode was gripping. The second episode was a bit tedious, although I found the ending satisfying. It isn't for everybody, though, especially if you are any sort of fundamentalist. If you like to think about religion, though, then you should appreciate the the challenges the script presents.As is the case with many stories that encompass the "supernatural", the film is engaging as the miracles take place, while much more difficult to follow and enjoy when the time comes to make sense of all that has come before. The film is somewhat upbeat and inspirational, but that is limited by the atheistic philosophy that is promulgated...

benc7ca I rented the dvd (appropriately enough) over the Easter weekend and it made for a very interesting diversion from the usual sappy, soppy, silly "resurrection" of religious movies we get bombarded with at this time of year. The acting was very good and the premise even better. Episode one was excellent and I wondered how the director was going to bring this to a resolution in episode two. Well, I loved the ending but I am, like other viewers, foxed as to how it came about. The peculiar logic of the film was compromised by a sudden revelation I'm not convinced the character would have(or could have) had. Nevertheless, I recommend this to anyone who has had their fill of the Mel Gibson/right wing/heaven- forbid-we-have-an-original-thought treatments of spiritual subjects.

ming666 I saw "The Second Coming" during a business trip to the UK. It was a two part miniseries. I liked the first episode so much I held my trip over a couple of days in order to see the conclusion. I happen to like the Christopher Eccleston, the actor who plays the second coming of the savior from Manchester. He is always great to watch (see "Let Him Have It"; "Shallow Grave", and "28 Days Later") Its too bad he hasn't gotten more recognition in the US. The notion of a nobody slacker being thrust into the center of such a controversy was handled without cliche. I especially loved the resolution in the ending. I highly reccomend it.
