Set in the Holy Land in the first century C.E., a young woman leaves her small fishing village and traditional family behind to join a radical new social movement. At its head is a charismatic leader, Jesus of Nazareth, who promises that the world is changing.

I don't know what I was expecting from Mary Magdalene to be honest with you. It chugged along at a pace and the two hours I was in the cinema didn't feel that long... but at the same time I was particularly entertained by any of it.

Yet another movie being chastised online for not being accurate... it is a movie... not a documentary... get a grip. I'm giving this one star because you can't deny how stunning the settings are. But the rest left me a little underwhelmed. I personally wouldn't have recommended that Jesus be played as if he was stoned... but each to their own I guess.

Well, Ill start by saying this was a little too geeky for me. Thats not to say it wasnt a good story but all the references to Firefly and other TV programs Ive never watched put me off a little.

I read a book for the romance, which Im sure Ive mentioned before somewhere, and I enjoyed the spark the characters had. The way they dont realise they know each other (even if it is through a game) but are drawn to each other right from the first contact. They clicked right away and theres a scene involving a shower which made me smile.

I did enjoy it; Pen was hands on when it came to defending herself and Cal being slightly geeky made a change to the usual books I read where theyre attractive, tattooed and arrogant.

Its definitely for those who enjoy comics, online-gaming, cosplay and conventions.
