Filme: Sansão Assistido: 18-9-23 Elenco: @tayloractionjames @billyzane @jacksonrathbone @caitlinleahy Modelo: #biblico #aventura Duração: 1h 50m Ano: 2018 Minha opinião: O 3º filme de Sansão, este é o mais recente. Um filme sem atores desconhecidos com ressalva a Rutger Hauer (Blade Runner). Um filme que conta a historia da era dos juízes da Biblia, e conta a guerra entre Israelitas e Filisteus. E nesse período temos Sansão que foi consagrado como Narizeu como promessa de sua mãe. E Sansão dotado de uma força descomunal e derrotando os Filisteus por várias vezes. Então eles armam Rei Balek para que Dalila descubra o segredo dele de tanta força. E Dalila seduz Sansão, mas ela é engada por Sansão do seu segredo. Até que ele revela e é pego pelos Filisteus. Enquanto e humilhado e descobre que foi traído, pede a Deus uma ultima vez. Roteiro e enredo razoável. Vale apena assistir? Se tiver um tempo. Nota: 5

It's a bit jumpy and not as accurate as the Bible. It's a decent movie but I dislike that it is watered down a lot. The first noticeable thing was the parents and brother of Samson was a different race than what he was. Secondly, the storyline seemed more twisted than the scriptures. Samson seemed weak at a lot of times in the movie but in scripture reads more fierce. They depicted both Taren and Delilah as devout lovers. It's like they created the movie to introduce a biblical character but left out 50% of the context to make more presentable.

A bargain-bin biblical epic that delivers the requisite mass-murder-by-ass-jaw as a cheapjack approximation of Zack Snyder-esque pomp, but is for the most part clinically dull.

Rated: D+

TheWrap

The movie's most interesting clashes aren't between Samson and the Philistine royals, but between Pure Flix's intent to create "clean" entertainment and the obvious bloodthirstiness of the source material.

While it cannot be faulted for its sincerity, it can be faulted for its sluggish pacing, inconsistent performances and lack of cinematic style that gives the proceedings a tacky feel throughout.

Rated: 1.5/4

Film Inquiry

Aimed squarely at Christian audiences looking for inspirational family entertainment, Samson is a preachy and plodding drama that's light on excitement, action or any real sense of spirituality.

Sacramento News & Review

The story of the biblical strong man from the Book of Judges is drably retold without a trace of style or showmanship, making Cecil B. DeMille's 1949 Samson and Delilah (which was pretty good already) look like a masterpiece of great art by comparison.
