The Consultants sides critical consensus says "The faithful may find their spirits raised, but on purely cinematic terms, Son of God is too dull and heavy-handed to spark much fervor."

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ashley Lee wrote have to be home and says "Son of God — the Christian film that expands on and reassembles material from Mark Burnett and Roma Downey’s successful 10-hour miniseries on the History Channel — opens in theaters Friday. Directed by Christopher Spencer, thefeature casts Diogo Morgado as the ‘first Latin Jesus’ and has already sold over half a million presale tickets from religious groups alone." Cinemascore receive "A-" on A+ to F scale. Neil Manow of Beliefnet received B rating and says "It tells the story in a westernized, conventional manner that can seem superficial at times, more a cinematic Sunday School lesson than a movie. It is unlikely to persuade anyone, but it is undeniably moving and many believers will find it inspiring." Raegan Gavin Rasquinha of Times of India recently received 2.5/5 stars and says "If you want to watch some really good movies inspired by and about the life of Christ, there are plenty of other options you can go for instead." Justin Chang of Variety wrote "A stiff, earnest, clunkily edited feature-length account of Jesus' life culled from History's miniseries 'The Bible.'" Jim Slotek of the Toronto Star Received 3/5 stars. Ben Keningsberg of AV Club gave receive Mixed reviews over C rating and says "Unlike Gibson's film, with its relentless and gory focus on Christ’s last days, Son Of God finds time for lessons along with its bloodletting. [...] Accompanied by a score that sounds recycled from The Fountain, the most famous scenes are trotted out: "I'll give my stone to the first man who tells me that he has never sinned"; the loaves and fishes; the resurrection of Lazarus; the last supper. It's unlikely Paul Verhoeven will ever get to make his historical Christ movie, but to the extent that Son Of God has a measure of dramatic impact, it's how it illustrates the radicalism of Jesus' message and the threat it posed to the establishment. At any rate, the core ideas are more compelling than the bad effects shots of Jerusalem, the cheesy CG water-walking, or whatever exchanges require the actors to emit something other than a declarative shout." Despite the movie received negative reviews due to the Razzie Awards Dishonorable Mentioned of Worst Picture around this movie received positive reviews on audience score whenever says so bad it's good when happening to say that movie.
