Truly Dreadful Film

... View MoreThere is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
... View MoreI liked this movie; it kept me engaged. I thought the casting decisions were great, except for Samson, but to be honest it's because he didnt strike me as Hebrew. I will say as I watched it I noticed scenes where I thought to myself 'is that the way it really happened?' Samson only appears in four chapters in the Bible so I assumed the liberties they were taking was that there really wasnt enough to the actual Samson and Delilah story. I waited until the movie was over before doing a Samson refresher. I discovered that they took liberties that were totally unnecessary making Samson seem as pure as they could, all the while making Delilah out to worse than she really was. Samson wasnt attracted to the three women the bible says he spent time with and he certainly wasnt in love with them. He did what he did to rile the Philistines. And Delilah didnt set out to betray Samson; it was discovered she was spending time with him and she was approached by the prince's men. I dont blame her for self-preservation!! I wouldnt recommend this movie to someone trying to find out more about Samson and Delilah!
... View MoreThe acting in this film was horrible. Some of the big names were okay but for the most part it was a study in overacting. We sat through it reluctantly.You know when you are watching the clock thinking, "Is this almost over?" it's not a great flick. The acting, accents, story and lead actor were all just horrible. That's a couple of hours and $5.99 we'll never get back.
... View More5/23/18. I grew up on Biblical epic movies so I love catching them over the years. However, this was awful. I only watched this because Lindsay Wagner was in it and haven't seen her since her Jaime Sommers days as The Bionic Woman. Though older (no plastic work, thank goodness) she gave her role the heart it needed. But the rest was just awful. Watch the 1949 Hedy Lamarr/Victor Mature classic, Samson and Delilah. Hands down, no contest. This is another example of another unnecessary remake.
... View MoreActing is good. Fight choreography is pretty good. The story and writing is good. The problem is the pacing and effects, oh and beards.
