Samson: La vera storia di Sansone

You know your going into a low budget Biblical narrative movie don't expect tons of crazy dark night action. You know the story lines if you have done any research on the topic. At times the movie is slow and boring and it almost makes up For it with action at times but there is limited things they can do with this type of story line. It is a good 1 night dvd rental

5/23/18. I grew up on Biblical epic movies so I love catching them over the years. However, this was awful. I only watched this because Lindsay Wagner was in it and haven't seen her since her Jaime Sommers days as The Bionic Woman. Though older (no plastic work, thank goodness) she gave her role the heart it needed. But the rest was just awful. Watch the 1949 Hedy Lamarr/Victor Mature classic, Samson and Delilah. Hands down, no contest. This is another example of another unnecessary remake.

This is quite the throwback for me to movies I used to watch as a kid. I can only imagine that this was what the aim was from the filmmakers themselves. Maybe you are nostalgic to those times and movies and find something to love here ... something others couldn't see.

Having said that, there is a lot of "cheese" and there is a lot of unintentional comedy. Like when the bad guy kills of a main character and says "I may not be as strong as you ..." and so forth (he may have used different analogies) - basically saying, I am not worthy .. but at least I'm alive. By the way the expressions of the person killed are ... really good actually! Almost feel too good a "death scene" for such a cliche moment/movie.

Anyway some really funny things than, but overall you have to be a swords and sandals fan to even make it all the way through. It's not really bad, but will feal like torture for those unprepared and unwilling to suspend their disbelief.

It was pretty accurate to the biblical story. I wished for a little more character development though. They did good though with the low budget that they had.

Sorry I went to see this movie. Wished I'd believed the reviews. Only 3 people in the entire theater.
