Rating: Summary: Inspiring Review: I actually saw the French Version of this Video in Ivory Coast, but it was still incredible. Of this series, Jeremiah is the most inspiring. This film does a great job of showing the pain and suffering which Jeremiah went through. Very Professionally done. Made for TV type series. Does a great job of showing the pain and torture that Jeremiah went through. His persistence is encouraging.
Rating: Summary: The character with creative license Review: I was not aware that Bible stories were being revisited by movie studios anymore. From the previews of this video, I see that Trimark has made movies of Genesis, Esther, Solomon, Jeremiah, and Jesus. These are all part of a series.If the other films are like this one, there is a bit of creative license. The book in the Bible deals more with the prophecies from God that Jeremiah told the people of Israel. We get very little about the man. In the movie, however, the writers have given him more of a background. They also provide him with a love interest, and we also see some of his childhood. He also has a couple of helpers including a scribe and a eunuch. Although I would rather they keep to the Bible, I don't think this background hurts the film. Not every statement from the book of Jeremiah is listed in the movie, but this movie is enjoyable without taking away from the prophet. I would simply remind myself that not all of this is found in the Bible. I would recommend this movie.

Rating: Summary: Gripping-Inspiring-Motivating Review: If you know the book of Jeremiah from the Bible you will quickly see how few of Jeremiah's words are actually used in the film - BUT - make no mistake, the mood of this picture succeeds in portraying the tension within Jeremiah as he begins his prophetic career. His unwilling initiation is quite scriptural and you really sense the power of the counter culture which he has to battle against. Nevertheless, as he embraces his calling his influence, through God's direction, begins to hit home and you experience his turmoil as not only he suffers, but the cities of Judah suffer as they reject Jeremiah's word to them. This film is gripping and highly motivating for the believer - will you and I follow as hard after God and His will and, like Jeremiah, be willing to lay everything down for God's call on our lives?
Rating: Summary: Jeremiah the Prophet Review: It was a very good video. In the beginning was tough to follow, but got very exciting in the end.
Rating: Summary: Jeremiah Review: Of 'The Bible' series by Lube Productions, this has to be one of their finest. The scene where Jeremiah, who at the start of his priestly ministry, prophesied to the assembled worshippers and the dissolute King was one of the most profound I have seen. Patrick Dempsey is well cast for his role as the unflinching prophet who contends with spirital apostasy, political intrigue and the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple. (One can only speculate, but I would dearly like to see a film made by Lube about Elijah!). This film is a worthy addition to the video library of anyone who likes Biblical dramas. Care and attention was paid to historical and Biblical accuracy, without the sleaze and 'extra-curricular' activities indulged by many earlier films about the Bible.
Rating: Summary: Jeremiah the Prophet Review: Patrick Dempsey gives an outstanding performance in playing Jeremiah. The entire story is biblically accurate and unlike most Bible stories told by Hollywood, does not try to make this a human interest story, but instead tells the story of what happens to nations who do not obey God's word. You get the feeling of truly being in Pre Christian Jerusalem, and of the failings of the nation of Judah. A must see for all who want to learn more about the Holy Bible. I highly recommend this DVD

Rating: Summary: search you`re self Review: rather then looking at this movie read or listen to the bible, here in this movie god is potray as a litle girl tha`s a one of the bigges sin, and abomination, the bible tell us god hinself call him to be a prophet not the angel of the lord nor a litle girl, is to much that people are cursing god all the time on movies of hollywood, and on tv and all type of sin been happening and trying to twis true ( only the wise will understand ).
Rating: Summary: An excellent video Review: The video is a bit short, one of those you just WISH was a little longer. Pretty much all the videos in this series are very well produced and the actors are good. This is the story of Jeremiah, a prophet who was called while he was still in his mother's womb. The movie is a portrayal of the life of Jeremiah and his ministry to the last kings of Judah. Scripturally speaking, I give this movie a B. There is a love story that holds together some of the parts that is not directly scriptural (but it doesn't detract from truth) and there is one scene where Jeremiah says God deceived him (not quite the original context in Scripture, though) but they did not have God's answer to Jeremiah in Scripture, which was basically: stop whining and don't speak foolishly. The movie has its share of violence, of course, and is not good for little children to watch. But overall this is an enjoyable movie.
