Title: Biblical But Unimpressive
Review: The book of Esther lacks nothing for a great film. I hoped this would be it, but I was disappointed.It's probably one of the more biblical versions, but the quality of the production and some of the license taken with the story is annoying. The false noses on some of the Jewish characters is laughable, and most of the acting is terrible. The most annoying part is the way the film makes King Ahasuerus out as some weak, whiney young man who over-reacts to everything like a toddler, and can't think for himself.I work in youth ministry, and I was hoping to show clips of this as we study Esther. I don't think I can show scenes of this to a room full of teenagers, though, and expect them to take it seriously.
