Disturbing yet enthralling

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

I love Majid Majidi's work. This movie is also a good one. The camera work, the use of color everything was really good. But the story should be more organised. As the main focus was the first 40 years of the prophet life so there should be more important story in the movie. Actually the original work of the prophet not seen in the movie. It's mainly focus with supernatural things with the prophet. But the struggle and the difficulty faced in the life of the prophet is not mentioned clearly. Hope the next two sequel will be better than this.

Faithful to Islamic sources, this film constantly recalls the words of Quran about prophet Mohammad: he is a mercy for all creatures,' esp when he tears a string out of his clothes to avoid hurting a small plant. --------------------------------------------------------------- After a long time, this film worth being watched in cinema for more than once with whole family! Even children were enjoying it.------------ All effects and story line is great esp referring to unfair sanctions and it tries to show that Islam is not what we think as we must try very hard to know its real nature. Regarding the recent tensions, this film can be considered fresh and updated. Congratulation to all the crew esp Majidi. I hope all Muslims help produce next parts.

This is what i call an "Epic" movie . you might say well , meh , this guy is Iranian and after all this movie is Iranian too . i could edit my location to any other place and you wouldn't know , but here is the point : seldomly i like a movie to a point that i cry . this movie made me cry .as the first part of a trilogy , it perfectly balances itself not to cross any line in regards to both "Sunni" and "Shia" sects . Majid majidi for me is the Christopher Nolan of Iran . only 8 years after his last movie , he has once again astonished his fans with a touching and aspiring movie . ALCON , this movie is well capable of wiping the floor with other movies in all international events .This is the most expensive and sophisticated movie any Muslim country has ever created and i hope it can effectively show the real side of Islam to foreign audience . A.R Rahman and the great staff only add to the greatness of this movie .my Rate : 10

This film is a 40 Million Dollar worth of humble and decent Iranian effort and a reply of truth in the face of those who have been imposing publicly their sinister crimes against humanity by every mean at their disposal under the pre-context of Hypocritical Western Standards of Freedom of Speech in order to desecrate the Divine pearls, infallible personalities and Prophets of Almighty Lord such as Jesus son of Marry and Muhammad (PBUH) son of Abdullah (Servant of Allah), the divine light in the image of man loved by 1.4 Billion living Muslims and other humble human beings of the world. Bravo!!! What an answer to hate and trickery!!!!
