Dreadfully Boring
... View MoreGreat movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

... View MoreThis is an excellent movie, well suited, I think, for a teaching role in elementary schools. The movie serves as a well constructed introduction to Mohammed and Islam, suitable for minds 8 years old and up. It has a sort of Ballywood flavor, in that serious matters are leavened by humor and music at appropriate moments. The animation is well done, and the movie runs at a comfortable speed.I rated it so highly, though, because I thought it so effectively portrayed Islam as someone growing up in Islam would be introduced to it. This is something, I think, that we would do well to expose our own children to, not to convert them, but to show why Muslims believe as they do.When many of us look at Islam, we look it as a historical phenomenon, as a force which arose 1500 years ago, conquered a good portion of the world, and with which, now, we have relatively bad relations. We look at it as far more a political force, than we do as a religious faith.By contrast, growing up in America, a nation 70% of which calls itself Christian, even those of us who don't consider ourselves Christian think of Christianity as a faith, not a political force. We recognize that Christians use politics to achieve their goals, but we credit that their goals stem from their faith.We do so because we grow up learning the Christian faith. We know all the stories about Christ in the Manger, all the stories about Bethlehem and the Star. We know all about the Crucifixion, the Resurrection and Jesus Christ Superstar--even if we do not accept these things, we recognize them as the manifestation of Christian faith. And we understand those stories as speaking to the principles of the faith.By contrast, many of us think that Islam is an excuse for political behavior, that its religious tenets--such as jihad--exist only to justify the political behavior. What "Mohammed, The Last Prophet" does so successfully, I think, is to introduce the principles that a kid growing up in a Muslim country would learn through their stories even as children growing up in America learn Christian principles through their stories.If our next generation of children can be shown that Islam is not only a political force, but, rather, a faith shared by millions based on a commonality of stories, much akin to the same sort of Christian stories American children are learning from their parents and communities, then there will not, I think, be in the future the same sort of hostility towards Islam that so many Americans fear and evince.
... View Morea must watch for anyone interested in learning about Islam or for a Muslim that wants to be reminded about how it all started. It is a must see for all people of all ages who would like a summary of Islamic history in fun way. Unfortunately, the movie is very hard to find since it is seldom shown on movie screens, and is virtually unavailable for sale anywhere. One can find "unoffical" copies dubbed or subtitled in many languages, including Arabic, Turkish and English. I have asked many of the copyright holders for the reason that this very important movie is not available in the market in DVD, VCD or VHS formats. To date, I did not receive any reply. This is somehow frustrating. If I were in control of things, I would make this movie available in all languages and in all countries for free or for a very nominal price. But I guess we have to wait till the next century.
... View MoreThis is a great animation of the greatest biography of the prophet (peace be upon him) I shed tears when I was watching this animation although I knew all of the story in details but this is the miracle of his biography every time you hear it you love it even more,, may Allah gives guidance to all who deserve it and gives guidance to all the Muslims to return back to their religion and fill the earth once again with justice and love ( this day will come when Jesus peace be upon him too will descend from heavens to the earth and he will be too a follower of the last prophet Muhammad peace be upon them all).I recommend this animation to those who wants to start to know about the last prophet of humanity and to continue and search about the story in more details and then come back and argue(if there is any arguments left).
... View MoreA very bad film, first of all, I'm a Muslim, so please I don't need anyone telling me to have more tolerance or less hatred. This movie has the same problem that 'The Message' had before. It insists on telling the whole story of Mohammad, but without showing Mohammad or even his closest followers. If you can't show Mohammad's character for any reason, then simply do NOT make a movie where Mohammad is the main character in it. You can make a movie about Islam without having Mohammad as a central character, which will solve the point-of-view problem, which is a major crisis here. This movie could work better as an educational material for elementary schools.The animation is not very good, the movement is weird, and the camera keeps going backward and forward in an unsettling way. I recommend it ONLY for children who want to know about Islam, if you are an adult who would like to know something about how Islam started, then go see "The Message" which although still has the same problem, but it's more suitable for mature audience.
