Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

No real substance in the movie. I mean, i guess they tried to make it as real a possible..........i guess??? I can take so many issues with the actors, but i guess my main grip is the complete white washing. I mean, its 2018, why are black people only in the enemy armies? Especially when there is so much controversy that Samson himself could have been darker skinned (with locked hair). Not trying race bait.......but its 2018.....come on.

The acting in this film was horrible. Some of the big names were okay but for the most part it was a study in overacting. We sat through it reluctantly.You know when you are watching the clock thinking, "Is this almost over?" it's not a great flick. The acting, accents, story and lead actor were all just horrible. That's a couple of hours and $5.99 we'll never get back.

Acting is good. Fight choreography is pretty good. The story and writing is good. The problem is the pacing and effects, oh and beards.

Samson is the Hebrew retelling of the story of the sun god Shamash. Sun gods are quick to temper, lustful, and judges. They have long hair which symbolizes the rays of the sun and their great strength. They lose their strength in winter when their rays no longer shine and the sun goes blind. The story left a lot to be desired starting with the acting and dialogue. The Philistines where shown to be far more evil than archeology would have us believe. The Samson character lacked the passion associated with the Biblical character and was rather serene by comparison. The script added details to the biblical tale in order to make a cohesive tale, yet failed in a very important aspect to stick to the story. The Bible does not state that Delilah cut off Samson's hair as the movie erroneously shows, but rather she instructed a man to shave off his seven locks (Judges 16:19). Didn't anyone on the set every read a bible? Billy Zane plays a boring bad guy who gives us the British pronunciation of "privacy."
