Editorial Review:
JUDAS recounts the story of the relationship between Jesus and the disciple who becomes infamous for betraying him. When Judas (Schaech) first meets Jesus, he is unsure what to make of this simple man whose words speak volumes. Upon getting to know him better, Judas decides to become one of Jesus' twelve disciples and encourages Jesus to use his popularity to free the Jews. Jewish leaders later convince Judas of the greater good in betraying Jesus, and he decides to turn over his friend and leader to Caiaphus and Pontius Pilate who condemn Jesus to death.

Rating:  - Heeeeeere's Johnny!
Okay, while not the world's most devout Christian, this reviewer received strict Lutheran scholastic instruction for 10 years, and you know what they say about your formative years. Let's sum this up quickly from the point of view of one of the alleged "target audience" members: This is the "Johnny Schaech show", not unlike every other movie he has too large a part in. One of the luckiest pretty boys in the recent crop of hot young actors, he's okay in supporting roles like That Thing You Do, ... Read More

The film JUDAS has a well-written screenplay by Tom Fontana which weaves together the theme of Judas (Johnathon Schaech)as the voice of power and violence and Jesus (Jonathon Scarfe)of love and peace.

Rating: - It makes Martin Scorsese's THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST, look like a trip to Sunday school
In all the uproar surrounding THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST, ABC Television decided it might behoove them to try to cash in. So they created a little film named JUDAS. A film so vapid, a film so offensive, a film so pointless and contrived. It makes Martin Scorsese's THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST, look like a trip to Sunday school.
Judas (Johnathon Schaech, That Thing You Do!) is a guy with vision. He sees the chief priests giving money to the Romans. These Romans crucified his father and Judas ... Read More
Rating: - Awful acting!!
I found this film to be of a poor quality. The acting, particually that of Jesus was embarrasing and the plotline could have been more biblical and intriguing. I was very disapointed. Jesus was portrayed a bit too effeminately for my liking.
