Very Disappointing, Jan 25 2010
This review is from: St Peter (DVD)
My hats off to Omar Sharif for participating in this film and risking his life to do so. I'm interested to know what his motivation for doing it was. As for the movie itself, I was extremely disappointed with this film, so much so I couldn't watch more than 30min of it and I turned it off. I watched it with a friend and she too said it wasn't great. We found too much of the content was inaccurate. I figure with the script already written in the bible, why not make the movie based on facts we know to be true? At the point of Jesus' death, where does it point to the fact Peter was an elderly man? With the exception of Omar Sharif, the acting was not believable...what I would call a 'B' movie at best. The actor for Jesus was a big disappointment - not believable by any stretch of the imagination. I love biblical films, but this one rates "not great" in my books...I regret spending the money to buy it.

MUST SEE MOVIE, Aug 6 2009
This review is from: St Peter (DVD)
OMAR SHARIF IS OUTSTANDING IN THIS FILM. HE RISKED HIS LIFE MAKING THIS FILM. THE ISLAMIC LEADERS CALLED FOR A JIHAD AGAINST HIM. THEY SAID IT WAS THE DUTY OF MUSLIMS TO KILL HIM FOR ACTING IN THIS FILM. OMAR IS A MUSLIM HIMSELF. CAN YOU BELEIVE THE MUSLIM LEADERS WHAT HIM DEAD! JUST FOR ACTING IN A CHRISTIAN FILM. THE MOVIE IS 197 MINUTES LONG. GREAT SOUND AND PICTURE QUALITY. SOME PARTS ARE NOT SCRIPURAL. OVERALL A GREAT FILM.
