Very well executed

Good movie but grossly overrated

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Seriously, anyone who rates this movie over a 4 either works for Pure Flix or is trying to be funny. The acting was poor, scenes were choppy, and way too many liberties taken with the biblical storyline. As a writer, I was saddened that this was even made into a film, how they could find someone to invest is beyond me. I'm sure the writers were hoping they had a hit, but somebody should have been honest with them. And for Pure Flix to add their name to it, just shows they get it wrong more than they get it right. The fact Christians didnt support it at the box office is telling. Don't waste your money or your time. And for those who gave it high marks on here, well you know where liars end up.

I actually love history and hero movies but this movie was Terrible and has nothing with history to do. So much crap in one movie. This movie was really a waste of time. One hour I will nerved get back, I thought I might get better but ooo my god. WORST MOVIE EVER MADE. I pray to god that the ones that made this movie will be band from making movies ever again.. Terrible terrible terrible movie

Nope! Botched it in every way I can think of. Props, location, most of the acting. Surely they could afford a few consultants that know these kinds of stories.

Samson is the Hebrew retelling of the story of the sun god Shamash. Sun gods are quick to temper, lustful, and judges. They have long hair which symbolizes the rays of the sun and their great strength. They lose their strength in winter when their rays no longer shine and the sun goes blind. The story left a lot to be desired starting with the acting and dialogue. The Philistines where shown to be far more evil than archeology would have us believe. The Samson character lacked the passion associated with the Biblical character and was rather serene by comparison. The script added details to the biblical tale in order to make a cohesive tale, yet failed in a very important aspect to stick to the story. The Bible does not state that Delilah cut off Samson's hair as the movie erroneously shows, but rather she instructed a man to shave off his seven locks (Judges 16:19). Didn't anyone on the set every read a bible? Billy Zane plays a boring bad guy who gives us the British pronunciation of "privacy."
