Movie Reviews of King David
Movie Review: Overall a good view of the story of David
Summary: 5 Stars
While most movies take artistic license to the extreme, I felt this movie for the most part stayed the course of being accurate. I could go over the obvious mistakes but I don't think it strayed that much. At first I was more enthralled at Gere's performance as David the boy rising to be king. But, the more I watched it, I honed in on the fall of Saul. How a man's envy lead to his total ruin.
Of course, Gere is into the Dali Lama stuff now, but maybe he did this picture before he went into this area. I remember seeing this movie when it first came out and it still keeps my attention to this day.
Again, you might have to overlook the obvious small areas that weren't accurate, but the overall story is intact.
Movie Review: Forget the Negative Reviews! It really is 1000BC!
Summary: 5 Stars
Fantastic Art Direction, High Production Values, and a Superb Cast and Crew make this film the most visually accurate Old Testament Story ever given the Big Screen Treatment. Whoever was the technical advisor for this film did an excellent job in recreating the period. Edward Woodward is Outstanding as Saul (most of the cast is British, which lends a certain archaic dignity to the dialogue). Richard Gere also does a great job as King David.If you have a passion for Biblical or Historical Epics - this one delivers! The battle scenes (which are very well choreographed), chariot charges, and of course the duel between David and Goliath are all 'edge of the seat', 'toe curling action'
I really cannot praise this film too much!
Movie Review: This could be your eye opener...
Summary: 5 Stars
Since the best reviews have already been written, this is my summary: this is a GOOD movie about the REAL people who were chronicled in the Bible, and it does it better than any other Biblical movie I have seen - researched, adapted and portrayed with honesty, including the brutality, frailty and greatness the story deserves. An epic - it isn't. A very good place to start - it is.Movie Review: Not bad!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'll give it 5 stars just because Hollywood tried. The film was not that bad besides a few changes that are not in the Bible. But, I'm not going to get to picky. The film was good over all. Just wish Hollywood would go by the complete story next time without adding, or taking away. But hey! At lest they made a film about him.Movie Review: King David
