Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

ShangLuda Admirable film.

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

hannah8700-1 I loved this movie! When I first started watching it I thought it was going to be pretty uneventful and a tad on the corny side, but I ended up really enjoying it. In fact, I went out and bought the DVD the next day! Both the cinematography and the costumes were truly wonderful! Luke Goss was mesmerizing as the great King Xerxes and Tiffany Dupont was perfect for the role of Esther. I really appreciated how closely the film stayed true to the Bible's account of Esther. She was definitely a woman with great inner strength and a courage unlike that of any other. As a result, she was able to save her people, and gain the love and respect of a King. The music was also phenomenal- especially "Kingdom of Love" by Shani. My favorite part of the movie was when that song is being played while Hadassah walks up to meet the King and becomes the new Queen of Persia. What woman wouldn't want to be led by her husband on a garden of rose petals! And the scene where she enters in unannounced before the King was beautifully done as well. The chemistry between Goss and Dupont truly made the movie a success! Their love story was so beautifully portrayed in this film, and I'm glad that it was finally told in the way that most people imagined it was and should have been. A must-see!

milla54 In my entire life, I have only walked out of 3 movies. This was one of them.From a production standpoint, the acting was wooden and unbelievable, the costumes were opulent, but often badly fitting, or just ugly. The makeup looks like it was applied by a beauty-school drop out. There was unnecessary amounts of cheesy, canned dialog that was painful. The relationships depicted felt fake and false, and not at all realistic or deep.The main character, Ester was childish, immature, and so overly sugary-sweet it was intolerable. Her "love" for Xerxes was awkward and unbelievable.More over, it did not come close to actually conveying the true depth and beauty of the biblical Ester story. This film took the plot points of that story and then managed to completely remove the whole soul from it. Ester's quiet strength is entirely lost.Lastly, this film is chock full of anachronisms, from Ester literacy level, to the thick American accents.It was all around bad. Please, if you are looking for a good film, look somewhere else.

dottyjyoung I'm tired of writing bad reviews on Christian movies. Instead of pointing out how this could have been made better, I'm going to spend that energy writing my own scripts. I just finished my first short film script, and have 2 more in development. Pray for me.I'm not trying to bash anyone. I'm just hoping that the writers can admit that this script was poorly crafted, and not say, "This movie wasn't accepted because it was (gasp!) faith-based!" Regardless of your source material, there are methods for writing successful stories---and they are not secrets! Just go to the local library and check out the book "Story" by Robert McKee. That book taught me more than 4 years of sitting through creative writing classes in college. I will say that this movie gave me hope in one area: there was so much money, talent, and energy spent here, so we can know that Christians are hungry for good stories, and will pay for them to be produced. If I write a good script, there *will* be an audience for it.For right now, however, you're better off watching Veggie Tales. At least the writers there pay attention to their craft. And (can you believe it) the writers have read the above-mentioned book, "Story."

wolfmage_of_avalon A lot of criticism for this movie is based off the fact that it does not comply completely with the Bible story. However, you have to remember that this is a movie and not the story itself. Tiffany Dupont gives Esther a lovable and charming air (I mean seriously "You see me as a child? Well, you are mistaken, I am much younger!" That's the kind of humor I like to see, even if the movie is a drama). John Rhys-Davies is hilarious as usual. And of course, the line "If I perish...I perish" is tragically heartwarming. Some parts are a little strange, especially the parts with Haman, but this is still a beautifully woven story of faith, loyalty, and love. A MUST-SEE!
