Some random guy decides to solve the great mystery of Jesus Christ.

Pros: The Bible, Shroud of Turin
Cons: history

God is dead - Dead Sea - Dead for 3 days

Holy poo poo, let's really think this one through, it's time to make some phonecalls.

Also the random guy looks like Jesus Christ so he's Jesus Christ.

Nah it's just one of these weird things where they take a nonfiction book -- as in, not a story at all, but basically a large essay -- and turn it into a "one man's journey" movie somehow.

MORAL:
To the vector belong the spoils.
I remember watching the documentary version of that film for religion class in junior year of high school. It's just one of those proselytizing pieces that takes a fringe argument ("there was no historical Christ"), plots out all the circumstantial evidence for the actual mainstream historical consensus ("there was obviously some dude name Jesus who was called Christ"), and conflates this with the religious perspective which had nothing to do with the historical perspective in the first place ("Christ is Lord and there's a secular conspiracy to repress DA TRUFF").

Recently watched Wild Wild West and can't stop thinking about Branagh's seemingly endless uncomfortable racist jokes aimed at Will Smith.

Though to be fair Branagh's racist Joker Foghorn Leghorn is the best part of that film.

Is it like, in the past now? Why do they have swords?

Optimus Prime has gone bad and the Earth is about to get eaten. The key to saving everything might lie with Excalibur and Merlin's magic, both of which came from Cybertron. Turns out Transformers have always been around on Earth, forming the Knights of The Round Table with King Arthur and fighting Nazis. Also there's going to be a movie set in Ancient Rome.

This is sort of what they did. They hired like a dozen writers, and told them to write screenplays based on different eras, guided by Transformers loremasters. Bay took a King Arthur Transformers movie by the Black Hawk Down guy and a WW2 movie by the Iron Man 1 guys and merged it with a story about the creator of the Transformers. They took a screenplay set in the 1980s and make it into a Bumblebee movie that is releasing next year, and there's also going to be an animated prequel set millions of years ago on Cybertron.

They just gave him a younger, smarter, tougher, and more Latina daughter.

I really hope this is intentional, whether as a reference or Hopkins just insisting he wears the same thing.

Nope, he is (possible Transformers 5 leaked info) a descendant of King Arthur.
