John vs. Matthew and Acts Films on DVD

This weekend my wife and I watched parts of DVDs dramatizing the Gospel According to Matthew and Acts word-for-word from the NIV. Our hopes were high because we enjoy “The Gospel of John” film so much. If on a scale of 1 to 10 the “The Gospel of John” film is an 8 or 9, then the Matthew and Acts films are a 1 or 2—and that’s being generous. (That’s why we “watched parts” of them!)

   What’s the change? Production quality? (Shouldn’t be the script I wouldn’t think!)

   Yes, the overall quality is poor. Words like corny, cheesy, and cheap come to mind.

   If I am remembering the Acts movie rightly, the ascension of Jesus was particularly hilarious.
