The acting in this film was horrible. Some of the big names were okay but for the most part it was a study in overacting. We sat through it reluctantly.You know when you are watching the clock thinking, "Is this almost over?" it's not a great flick. The acting, accents, story and lead actor were all just horrible. That's a couple of hours and $5.99 we'll never get back.

This movie basically recorded by Israel AKA "Is Real Terrorist" to abase and insult nowadays's, you know which, nation Palestine. What they aim here is simply to show their killings nowadays innocent and to base it on a historical saga of their own.Each time "Palestine" name heard, there's agonize, cruelty and inhumanity act played by "Supposedly Palestinian", However in real life, both Jewish actors or their sympathizers . Simply Israel is trying to subliminally impact people to empathy with them while they kill innocent Palestinians in real life in front of the world eyes in 2018!

Its cheesy, acting is stunted, CGI noticeable, script and directing is cliche. But somehow it kind of works in a ( as another reviewer put it ) Xena / Conan kind of way. The story flows well, but some parts are laughably bad. I almost wonder what would it have been like if they purposely presented it in an over-the-top way, it may have ended up being a cult hit, like Hercules Returns.
But its likely copies of the film will sit on Christian's video shelves for years to come, but probably wont be seen anywhere else not long after its release.

For a number of reasons, making a 'religious' movie that doesn't lend itself to being lampooned or derided, must be a difficult task. Especially for stories found in the Old Testament. That is why the best-ever religious movie and the most widely viewed one is 'Life of Brian'!
I loved the original 'Samson and Delilah' because it was so corny and melodramatic where even the canvas on which the fake shimmering moon was painted for a night scene, actually flapped in the breeze!
And so I approached this retelling of the strong man's story with an equally mischievous intent for a good laugh - and I was not disappointed.
Three stars for the camped up portrayal by the major characters, the variety of accents, the script and dubious special effects. And of course, for the entirely implausible story.
