=== spoilers!!
I actually did not like this movie. Besides being a miniseries and feeling very long, it presented the son of God like a stupid bloke from Manchester who barely knows what he is doing, unless a divine "download" comes. He performs a few miracles for no real reason, then he does what his girlfriend thought.
I am not religious and actually the idea of a world without religion (however weird that sounds for humans) seems a very good idea. But if God did exist and did come on Earth, I would like him to stay. I mean, what the hell (pun intended), at least he can stay for a few laughs and a beer then go home and leave us alone. God dying (or ceasing to exist or whatever) makes no sense once you know he is there.
I also did not like the choice of actors. Christopher Eccleston is a good actor and I enjoy his movies, but he had no "godly" charisma in this film. And the girlfriend... could have picked a decent looking girl. The TV feel also took the rest of the edge off.
So, if you are in the mood for a Manchester based son of god TV movie with a nietzschean ending, watch this film. As a side note: "God is dead" is found in 126000 pages on google. "God lives" is in 143000. So I guess that settles it :))
