Years ago I read the whole Bible through; and when I finished the Old Testament book of Esther I said, 'That should be a movie'. Well 6 years later I want my royalties. It is fascinating to see Bible characters come to life. I forget that people didn't really speak, "Verily, thus and saith", but had real conversations, like you and I, complete with silliness, emotion and sarcasm.

Take the time to read the 10 chapters of the book of Esther before seeing this picture! If you don't own a Bible then find one on-line and read it first (biblegateway.com); because it will make what you see come that much more to life.

I loved the part where Haman was forced to parade Mordecai, his mortal enemy, through the streets. I never picked up on the love story prior to seeing this in film form though. That's the magical part of the Bible and it's stories - it's as simple as the dumbest person, and as complex as the smartest genius simultaneously.

This picture is very good; I think it does wonderful justice to both the Jewish people and Christian believers alike. Among the Faithful or not; check it out regardless.

I know, I know, the genre doesn't translate well from paper and ink to celluloid, but c'mon; what a waste! 'The Incredible Hulk' was awful, 'Batman' became a fiasco that still hasn't fully recovered thoroughly, and 'The Fantastic Four' was just not good (though in all fairness Jessica Alba is really hot); but I'm gonna' say it, oh yea - Dolph Lundgren's Punisher was better! But...better in the same way that Bruce Willis summed it up in 'The Last Boy Scout': is it better to get hit in the stomach or the head? At least Dolph emoted anger, confusion and chaos. Hell, this Punisher's address is listed on switchboard.com; drop on by and have a drink! And then I see they're making a part 2 to this garbage! Then add to Bruce's quote, or hit in the nads. This one could have been a contender, instead they just botched it. I know that in real life a guy in skin-tight spandex/leather with a skeleton head would look like an ass, but break me off a little something from the comic book next time, okay? (Like I'm gonna' sit thru a second installment of this!).
