Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

lawriter77 I was expecting so much more, though I knew nothing of the novel so I really had no idea what to expect. But after watching the first two episodes of A.D. from the same producers, it was a little jarring to watch a sexed-up desert soap opera with barely a token hint of the Jewish faith actually expressed, where all the heroines are sleeping with other women's husbands or mixing potions or killing Romans ("As the World Burns" ... "One Life to End" ... "All My Illegitimate Children" ... take your pick). The modern language was an unnecessary annoyance, and the insertion of a 21st-Century Western Liberal female perspective was noticeable throughout. (The women's perspective was the core of the story, of course. But it came across a little too "today" for me.) Particularly disturbing was the adulterous witch successfully invoking the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob by name to call down rain and save herself from a mob execution so she could continue her affair with another woman's husband. I don't think so. I recorded this and watched it over two nights while I did my taxes. One form of torture mitigating the other, I guess. Which one was which, I'm not sure at the moment.

jhallnv Really the only good thing about this film was the visuals. Everything else about it was just terrible. This movie was in essence a women's romance novel set during biblical times. The film hardly hold up to Judea/Christian values though. The two main women in the movie sleep with every man they meet. This is unacceptable in our time, but in this time in history they would have been killed for it. To add insult to injury they also practice witchcraft. No one ever seems to question any of this behavior though, and everyone acts like this is perfectly normal. I never did watch the second night. It was so terrible I could not bear another night of this trash. The characters are empty, and wooden. The men are all hunky (right off the cover of a romance novel). Do yourself a favor and skip this. Your brain will thank you for it.

smilee_1 It was definitely not an action show ,but a drama, with much narration. Hard to follow at points and slow in others. I am glad I did not pay to see this at the movies , even Sam Neill was dry. Roma Downey & Mark Burnet take yet another step further away from presenting a good Christian story,( i.e. their Bible and A.D. stories toning down the divinity of Jesus and leaving out Satan claiming to such things because they wanted it family friendly, but this movie is not) full of fornication. I lost track of all the adultery ,out of wedlock sex and children born out of wedlock. Like a day time soap. Shame...but it is obvious they have plenty of "water" around...

mdeangelisarapsali One of the saddest things I have ever seen in my life. I had to hide my eyes a lot of the time, it was so bloody, but I kept on watching to see the end. Gripping, heart-wrenching. Can't imagine buying it though - who could watch it again? I had never heard of this story, and am still not quite sure of where it fits in history, but it is one that deserves to be told. The women especially are incredible, poised, strong, full of emotion. What actors! So much romance struck me as not quite true to the period, but who knows? I specially liked how the mocking 'Jewish traitor' who was taking their story down was in the end almost struck dumb by the conclusion of their tale. Very powerful story, not for the fainthearted, or those with weak stomachs unless you hide for the many bloody parts, as I did.
