Ratings and reviews

Sorry, cannot avoid comparison to the -59 version. Plot doesnt really hold together and lacks the dramatics. Scenes - like the famous naval battle - are confused and not well integated to the story. Jerusalem looks anything but the original, girls are riding horses dressed in their leggins etc etc. While the -59 was an epic record breaking Oscar-looter, this is just another contemporary movies.

A "historical" epic .... the raw dishonesty or ignorance of these christians truly amazes me. Meanwhile they might consider going to an actual library reading actual history books placed in the non-fiction area ... and not the bible which is placed in the fiction section of the library.

Всё хорошо только вот бяять не слишком ли дорого за фильм а́аааа ааа аааааа
