This wan rebooting of the Christ tale has decent acting, serviceable if familiar visual effects, a few jump-in-your-seat moments, and the always crowd-pleasing gimmick of a senior citizen cussing up a storm. But the down time between action scenes is deadly dull and the film's hoary cinematic shorthand (i.e., a young Black man enters the film to the sound of hip-hop and fights with his baby mama) is more terrifying than anything else served up.

I wouldn't really recommend this movie over watching something like Daybreakers or Sherlock Holmes, but if you're in need of an outing, and have already seen just about everything other than this, you might be interested.

Overall, 2/5.
