Summary: A CAMEL IS A HORSE MADE BY A COMMITTEE...
Review: To me, it seemed like too many non-movie makers turned a great idea into a flat training film. Talky without conveying the real concepts and passions of this Great world religion. Neither did the characters grow beyond mere outlines. Sum up: Pedantic, slow, flat depication of rich, deep subject and characters. Oh, for David Lean's touch here! Alternative: Lion of the Desert or, of course, Laurance of Arabia...

Summary: Baqar Abdi from Lucknow
Review: .This movie will give you the brief history of Islam...An absoloutly outstanding movie! Moustapha Al-Aqaad is a directing genius and Anthony Quinn, an acting legend. This movie is Breath-takingly fantastic!This movie was under rated when it was originally released because it is a definite classic such as the likes of Lawrence of Arabia, Ben Hur, an epic through and through. Anthony Quinn should have won an Oscar for his performance and the director (Akkard) should also have won one. I watched this movie ten times on DVD ....You must have this DVD So if you didn't buy it yet, what are you waiting for?! Get it on DVD. MUST HAVE DVD> :-)

Summary: A Breathtaking Spectacle!
Review: I remember watching this movie as a kid and I HAD to have a DVD of the same and it still shines as a masterpiece. The LA Times quotes it as "Spectacularly Done!" and the Hollywood Reporter called it "A Remarkable Film" and yet its disappointing to see that it never got an Oscar or even nominated for one; quite possibly overlooked on purpose due to the Islamic undertones found in the movie.

Summary: Perhaps the best film of Islam ever made
Review: I've seen only two other films about Islam which comes close to this one; "Islam: Empire of Faith" and "Malcolm X" the former is a PBS documentary. This film along with the others I mentioned are excellent for showing nonmuslims the true history of Islam in the form of a feature motion picture. As a muslim, I found some renewed motivation after watching the film. One of the particularly poignant parts of the film is the ending. MuHammad's (peace be upon him) last speech is given then there is a narration along with a montage of different adhaans and scenes of different muslims from around the world praying. This film not surprisingly was never shown on US television (correct me if I'm wrong). Yet there have been tons of films shown on TV about Jesus and Christianity. None of the films I've seen on Jesus and Christianity have had the same effect on me which "The Message" did. All of the films on Jesus and Christianity seem too much like fantasy and make believe. The Message however has a strong historical foundation and holds your attention from the beginning to the end where it will bring tears to your eyes.

Summary: Uplifting
Review: It is amazing the awesome quality this movie has for touching and inspiring the lives and thoughts of Muslims and non-Mulims alike. Even Muslims talk about how this movie has helped to cleanse thier distortions of their own religion. Not just a religous experience but a great event of film history too - perhaps the greatest. Not just Anthony Quinn and Irene Pappas but all the others appear to be uplifted and acting at the same elevated level. It must be the best hidden secret in all the history of cinema and in a way I am glad it never got an oscar because that would have given in a common place among other films. This is really more than a film. After seeing it you can almost hear your own soul telling you that this is the truth. This is a view to the past. The last great event in the great Judeo-Christian-Islamic religion.

Summary: ISLAM RULEZ
Review: it was an excellent adaptation which took in mind preventing any contradictions what so ever. it gives an excellent insight into the history of Islam. i would recommend this movie to any people of any religion, any culture, and any race because it is a film for anyone to know what islam is about before going on further to mock it.

Summary: THE T R U T H
Review: Some people might get confused between some Muslims of our days who give their religion a bad name and the true reality of Islam.For those who want to know how did Islam start on this earth, what is it about and it's moralities... this would give you the right picture. Very well done movie, very well done acting... ...and "the" very honest M E S S A G E !

Summary: Bravo Moustapha Akkad
Review: What can I say? This is one of the best movies on religion to date. It is all about the birth of Islam and the people who followed it. The movie has very good screen play, and costume design. plus good Arab type music too (composer Maurice Jarr, no soundtrack available)and more importantly GOOD ACTORS. the DVD itself is very good. It comes with behind the seen documentry, two thearatical trailers (english and arab), a two page chronical of Prophet's Muhammeds life ( he is never shown)and more importantly the DVD picture and sound Quality is at the best ever.

Summary: I Am Very Liked Dis Film
Review: I em from estanbul, turki, I wotch dis film and like it very much it is abot the stori of islam and is convering it very very well, I hev also seen the arabic version which is quite as good as this one because it was also directed by moustafa akkad but with arabic artists which to say the truth covers the soul of the subject more truthly maybe because the religion of the arabic artists is mouslim. This one or the arabic version is amust see specially during te month or ramadan which is one of our holly months. Thank you amazon for letting us enjoy this movie as well as other thousands of titles right from the confort of our homes.
