Rating: - Solid, But Not Foundation Shattering
More biblical epic than Harlequin romance, 'Samson and Delilah' has a good look and feel. With the exception of two steamy scenes, it sticks to the good book with some decent interpretations added to the dialogue. Overlong at three hours, the camera shots and scene changes, nevertheless, keep it visually appealing. Some of the battle scenes are admirable indeed.

Rating:  - Bringing The Bible To Life
The movie Samson and Delilah was very well done. In this film it shows

Rating:  - Stay Away From This Movie
Not Very Good Acting. Actually The Acting Is Horrible. And The Movie Itself Strays From Scripture. The Cover Looks Great. But, Don't Let It Fool You. Like I Did. Bummer
Rating:  - Overdrawn and innacurate
A big mistake to make this movie three hours long. There is certainly not enough details in scripture to warrant such a decision. Therefore there were many made up scenes and long, painful conversations that have no scriptural basis. Had it been shorter and stuck to the point this might have been saved but otherwise its just too much of a narrative to be considered seriously.
