Just came home from seeing this. It was okay, better than some. Christian-produced films are getting a little better. The only serious problems I had with it were:
*The story was a bit choppy. It took its time to build up to going into Xerxes' chamber then all of the sudden it seemed like they said to themselves, "Oops, we need to hurry up and get the rest of the story in." Kind of left us in the dust with its speed.
*The girl who played Esther was far too much the American ideal of beauty
*Peter O'Toole and Omar Shariff are given top billing on the movie's posters. They had like two lines each.
I saw the very first clip ever shown publicly a couple of years ago in Portland at a church Tenney was speaking at. I think they got a bit overzealous with typography (is that the word I want?) It makes it fun for scholars of the Word, but the general public won't get it - they want story.
