This is definitely not a Christmas with the chosen. It was a rock concert with much attention on musicians and not uplifting Christ. I have been moved powerfully throughout the chosen series. This was a huge let down. I would not recommend this to anyone, especially not a lost person. Very disappointed!
So disappointed, it was nothing like the amazing series. As a Christian musician, this was way way too much & not expected & feel the two should not have been combined. Where were the shepherds? The music could have been the angels singing!
The music was way to long and the story line was rushed. Then more music . A hot mess!!
I loved this movie and the music was phenomenal but I think my favorite part was the portrayal of the journey of Mary and Joseph to the night Jesus was born and their innocence as first time parents. This re-enactment made the nativity story come to life in a whole new way! This movie was very much like the Christmas episode last year from The Chosen cast with several musical performances intertwined with the cast of characters re-telling the stories and insights of the Bible. Those who are complaining just didn't understand that it wasn't supposed to be an actual movie but a Chosen experience to remember. It was exactly what I expected and I loved it and am happy to help raise funds for them to continue making quality shows to bring Jesus to everyone! Everyone must KNOW!!
Such artifice and slick fakeness. I had had enough of the faux-worship posturing and lip-synching after the 3rd song. My wife, a big Chosen fan, asked me to take her to the movie and she even apologized to me when it was over. We won't be duped by these guys again.
I am not even sure what to say... I have supported the Chosen from the first episode and love the cast and the way our faith is portrayed in a very tangible way. All that you needed to do was to tell the story. Our culture has been all about selling Jesus to people for many years the last time I read the scriptures he's not for sale its a free gift offered to humanity if we just accept Jesus as King. This seemed like entertainers selling themselves and I sure it will only promote our culture being able to further call the church hypocrites that look perfect because that is what was portrayed. Your leading for the movie started with a humble beginning in a friends back yard I would suggest going back to those beginnings and finding the Spirt that lead you to start the Chosen in the beginning, its in that place you will find Jesus.... Not at the alter of entertainment.
False advertising! This is not a movie! It’s an hour+ music video with a 20 minute clip about Mary. My husbands office rented out two theatre rooms for their company wide Christmas party thinking they could play a part in people learning about Jesus’ birth. Whoa! We got duped! What a disappointment!!
Loved this movie - the music & story was so moving! Going back again today!
The singing was beautiful but too long and I got bored. The 20 minute movie was well done but way too short. Not at all what I expected. Love The Chosen series and look forward to season three.
I loved the show. I knew there would be a lot of Christian music so I wasn't surprised. I loved the story of Joseph and Mary, very authentic, I believe. I especially loved the children's choir. I was inspired by all of it. I may go again.
