    Close to perfect, a rendition of the book of Esther. If I didnt know the story in the book I would have rated this 5 stars.

    its not a bad rendition, I just didnt give it 5 stars cuz I think they missed to "portray" a few things about Esther. Still, yknow. Its a good movie...( read more) :) Maybe guys would see this as " a girly/religious movie --- and we all know how overly religious, religious movies go", I would beg to differ, this has zest. Sajbel did a great job in directing this.

    Even though this movie was PG it was visually a decent retelling of the story of Esther from the Bible. I say visually because it lacked the grit and grime of reality, just painted a pretty picture (I'm tired so this review is going to suck, sorry!). Although beautiful, Tiffany...( read more) Dupont was miscast as Esther, she was kind of annoying! Luke Goss played the part of king Xerxes fairly well. Tommy Lister surprised me playing his role, usually I see him in cheese-ball movies but his voice is just so cool and he is very well cast in this movie. John Rhys-Davies has a great voice and brought a lot to this movie. It was just OK.

    It had all the qualities that make for a bad film. Terribly corny story, horrible acting, awful shots, a nice happy ending. If you enjoyed this movie, there is seriously something wrong with you.

    This was an Outstanding Movie, If you have traveled Western Europe or The Middle east, the scenes were so real, colors excellent, The Costumes were unbeleivable. This was a great movie, Do yourself a big favor get it, thank You Fox Family Video

    The story of this movie is great, and the part I like the best about it is that it follows the bible they don't try to mislead you.

    This movie was amazing and the story of esther is one of my favorites from the Bible. I truly feel that they expressed the story very well.
