King David

Rating:
Summary: A great movie
Review: Richard Gere does a fabulous job portraying David. The entire cast was outstanding. The movie is very enjoyable, as well as easy to watch. I wish that there had been more focus on the romance of David and Bathsheba, but it was basically a wonderful film.

Summary: Excellent and accurate biblical portrayal!
Review: This biblical story recount of the lives of King Saul and King David were very true to what I have read in the Old Testament stories in the books of "Samuel" and Kings". Having Richard Gere portray the adult King David didn't hurt either!!! This is one of the better "bible" story movies I have seen to date. Thoroughly enjoyed seeing this biblical story "come to life" and Richard Gere is terrific in it! Lot's of action and well done!

Review: This did not follow the bible by a long shot. Even had I over looked that the nudity prevented it from being used as a teaching tool. I did like the scene of David dancing for the Lord in front of the Ark.

Summary: An As Expected Movie
Review: This is an "as expected" movie with cardboard performances by the stars who just seem to stand there and look pretty while weakly reciting their lines with no drama or flare. The direction is adequate and the script is mediocre, taking poetic license from the Bible according to the interpetation of the director or someone else. The scenery is nice but it does not help this typical movie rendition of one of the greatest acts in the Bible which is the fall of King Saul and the rise of King David. There is some nudity and profanity in this movie which is totally uncalled for. I wish movie writers would stick with the Bible. Both Old and New Testaments are powerful, poetic, and quite dramatic enough with out the free lancing done by screen writers. Please folks, when doing a movie about a chapter or verse in the Bible, stick with the Orginal Script! The Bible is the Word of God, not men!

Summary: Don't Miss This One!
Review: This is an excellent video that accurately depicts the highlights of the Biblical story of King David! Although it is a wonderful pleasure just to sit and watch, we have also used it for Bible study classes and found it an extremely valuable tool in understanding the many events that surrounded the life this man "after God's own heart". ENJOY!

Summary: King Richard
Review: This is not the bomb it was purported to be when it was first released in the 1980's. This features Gere's best work, and an excellent supporting cast. The biblical epic genre has not been revived since this film except on TV, so have a look at a real film with real acting and directing. One problem: the second half does turn a little superficial, and if a film ever deserved an R rating instead of a PG-13, this is the one. What was the MPAA thinking??

Summary: Excellent and accurate biblical portrayal!
Review: This movie sucked! Everything about it was terrible. Some may also find it offensive for straying far from the biblical narrative. Although this movie is called "King David", the story bares little resemblance to the story of King David found in the books of Samuel and Chronicles.
