nicholls_les This could have been so good. The Biblical story is a great one and there was no need to mess with the characters of the Story. Esther comes across as weak and uncertain. The character of Mordecai was not the one you read about in the Bible despite the excellent John Rhys-Davies trying to make the most of a bad script. I also thought Jyoti Dogra as Vashti was more beautiful and would have been better suited to play Esther.Luke Goss was awful and a total mismatch for a King of a world empire, he had no presence whatsoever.But the main problem was that the story as shown in this movie makes no sense. Read the Bible account yourself and you will see the real passion that was missing here.

haddesah My husband and I were so looking forward to this movie after hearing such incredible praise and reviews from TBN...it was such a disappointment!!! we could not believe why so many people on TBN had highly praised this film! It was so poorly acted, more on the side of Bollywood type B movies. The acting was bad and dialogue atrocious. Its an insult to the true courage and nature of Esther and what she did for the Jewish nation. And, as usual, all the biblical stories that are made into movies, not one of them tell the whole truth but rather do what Hollywood does...using poetic license, to the detriment of historical fact, which is what should have been really portrayed to bring across the true story of Esther for Christians and especially for the secular society. It could have been a very good medium to draw unbelievers into the Kingdom of God, but sadly this will not happen when they realise how disjointed and confusing the story line is. We will not be buying this DVD and will be very weary of TBN's future recommendations.

lolitabonitaboo lets start off by saying i think this movie did us,Persians no justice with choosing tiffany DuPont, I'm ashamed of the vision she made westerns believe ,Esther might be a Jew,but she was a Persian too, this movie's Esther is immature,selfish and sneaky,exactly characteristics that Iranians forbid their children and family fr having. NOW about the movie,Luke goss was too stiff and theatrical ,even tho i love him i can NOT think of him as the best option,tiffany DuPont?don't even get me started on here,in one scene she had tan lines,it just,makes me sick when directors and staff miss details that important, the rest of the movie was a stupid slow rip off of Muhammad,seriously waste of money,time and energy,buying the DVD was the most stupid decision i have ever made

chondram I hope they make more movies like this. I saw it at the theater and bought the DVD. We watch this movie often. Buy it for a friend!We need to support such good films as this so they pay for themselves and make a profit. Otherwise we'll be stuck with low quality Christian movies that go straight to DVD.Watching this film made me go back and read the story of Ester in the Bible. To me, if your not familiar with the story, I say watch the movie, then read the Bible. Costumes, scenery and story line were very well done, just can't say enough how much we (still) enjoy watching this movie.
